In addition to lessons for students, the mini-factory lab will
be also used in future for the implementation of trainings for
small and medium-sized companies, which today often have a
certain fear of automation and methods of lean production, as
these have their origin mainly in large companies. This paper
describes the mini-factory-concept and gives an overview of
the applied and successfully proven training concept of a
manual and semi-automated assembly process of pneumatic
cylinders as well as camping stoves.
