The mini - factory lab was set upon 2012 by the Faculty of
Science and Technology to support the research area
“Industrial Production” as a laboratory facility for research
and teaching. In addition to the investments in hardware, the
Faculty invested also in software and digital planning tools.
The computer laboratory is equipped with four software
systems for Virtual Production (see Fig. 1). The software
Auto desk Inventor enables digital product development
creating 2D drawings and 3D parametrical product models.
Further, other two planning tools are used to plan and design
the production process and the manufacturing system. Manual
assembly systems can be created, configured according to the
situation and flexibly be arranged by module libraries using
MT pro, a planning tool of Bosch Rexroth. Automated
production and assembly processes can be programmed in
