Automation engineering
The field of automation technology deals with the improvement of the degree of automation of machines and systems.
The primary aim of all measures of automation technology is to relieve the human being from strenuous, time-consuming and dangerous work. The associated cost reductions and quality improvements are further reasons for greater automation in industry. The aim is achieved primarily by signal acquisition independent of humans and requires extensive knowledge of the fields of mechatronics, electrical engineering, control technology, robotics and information technology.
Who deals with automation technology?
For example, a specialist in automation technology can be a mechatronic, an electronics engineer or an engineer who has learned the basics of the required fields during his training. Due to the massive shortage of skilled workers, the profession of the mechatronic or electronics engineer is very in demand, numerous training places are available for application. If you want to study automation technology, you can study specific courses whose study content is concerned with the theoretical and practical foundations of automation technology. Faculties such as those of the universities in Kempten or Kaiserslautern or the TUM in Munich offer various study contents about automation technology through highly qualified teachers. As many other degree programs around engineering are considered to be very demanding. The degree course for automation technology categorizes the partial disciplines of the profession differently depending on the faculty.
