TECHNICAL LOGISTICS AND AUTOMATION LABORATORY

Language: German

Period: Summer term

Link to TUNE

Participant limitation if applicable

Learning objectives:

Familiarisation with a programmable logic controller PLC

Basics of neural networks

Train and implement your own neural network using a prototype

CONTENTS

In the Technical Logistics and Automation laboratory, students learn about instruments for digitalisation and automation in the logistics environment on a laboratory scale.

The lab consists of two parts:

(1) Introduction to programmable logic controllers. Using laboratory experiments, students independently acquire basic programming skills for the development of industrial control systems. The programming language Codesys is used for this.

(2) Machine learning. The foundations are laid for the development and use of neural networks. To this end, participants learn about the corresponding programme libraries in the Python programming language. In their own laboratory experiment, they will implement a neural network for recognising geometric objects using an infrared sensor.

The course takes place in the laboratories of the Institute of Technical Logistics.

The examination consists of a laboratory test including functional prototypes and programmes.
