Abstract(s)

The teaching of automation is increasingly present in the industry, through increasingly aggregating and complete platforms. Automation teaching/learning faces several limitations. On the one hand, teaching automation using automata is done in laboratories whose didactic applications rarely replicate industrial applications. On the other hand, students' difficulties in accessing these spaces are often limited to the time allocated to each laboratory class, and it is often not possible to repeat assignments or work variants. It should be noted that the difficulty of accessibility for working students or students with COVID restrictions has a lot of impact. Thus, it would be important for a student to have access to an automation bench that replicates the needs of the industry and that includes remote access. The present work presents the development of a didactic workbench to support the teaching / learning of automation, with an industrial design and with the possibility of remote access.
