In the All Electric Society, technical education is the key to promoting innovative solutions in the field of electrification, networking, and automation.

Rapid technological developments require continuous learning and adaptability so that we can master the challenges and opportunities of the digital transformation together. Technical education is essential for preparing the next generation of skilled workers for the demands of a networked and automated world.

Together with our partners, we are creating the necessary foundations to convey the technologies and technical knowledge that are essential for a sustainable future. Our aspiration: Empowering Society Through Technology.

The All Electric Society strategy from Phoenix Contact offers technical solutions for which we develop and implement adapted concepts with educational partners. TechEducation therefore makes a significant contribution to help shaping this future-oriented transition.

Eduline PLCnext Technology Board

Industry 4.0, with the ever-increasing degree of process automation supported by programmable logic controllers, is a central dimension and driver behind the “All Electric Society”. This progression allows machines to share information and interact with the help of intelligent sensors and actuators. Data is collected, analyzed, and stored in the cloud for later processing. Networked production control with an ever-increasing degree of automation and digitalization leads to increased design options for machine builders and system operators. The necessity to integrate Industry 4.0 subjects using practice-oriented training systems into training and further education programs is constantly on the rise.

Our PLCnext Technology Trainer is ideally suited for an easy introduction to the complex subjects of factory automation and Industry 4.0.
