THE TEAM BEHIND PLANT PILOT

We – students at the Technical College for Automation Technology at BBS1 Mainz—have now, after several instructive years at this educational institution, decided on a final project that can show us and others a path to the future.

And here… let us briefly introduce ourselves:

About me

From September 2015 to June 2017, I obtained my technical college entrance qualification at BBS Bingen, specialising in automation technology, and successfully completed my training as a state-certified technical assistant for automation technology.
I then completed my training as a mechatronics engineer at Econo-Pak GmbH from September 2018 to August 2021, which I successfully completed.
Since September 2022, I have been attending the course to become a ‘state-certified technician for process automation’, which is also the context in which this final project was created.
