Collaborative learning factory for advanced industrial engineering - integrated approach of the digital learning environment and the physical model factory

The paper describes the concept of advanced Industrial Engineering, the sustainable and innovative interaction of the digital tools developed by Delmia GmbH and the University Institute IFF that are being used in the factory's planning phases. Afterwards it describes the interaction with the highly flexible production modules in the real factory (from construction to disassembly) which are designed by Festo Didactic GmbH. Accordingly, the overall learning concept and the target of the individual training sessions - i.e. to improve the appreciation of the digital factory during the whole life-cycle and the further development of the Learning Factory for aIE - will be explained.
