The James Webb Space Telescope recently detected the coldest ices ever in outer space, something Nasa scientists think could explain the origins of life on Earth. Climate change: Are there too many people?.As important is the space that has been specifically dedicated to this training by moving the learning environment from the production floor to a dedicated learning centre, the stress and risk of accidents are decreased significantly. Transport: There are several certificates for a variety of transportation tools, such as the stacker, reach truck, forklift or travelling crane.Safety: we attach a great deal of importance to safety, which is why we supplied a dedicated learning booth where the use of personal protective equipment can be practised.These include: electronics, hydraulics, pneumatics, lubricating, drive system techniques, 5S, safety, diagnostics and machine knowledge. Maintenance: to train maintenance engineers in practice on the basic principles within the Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), we acquired 9 learning booths.We supply the most advanced measuring devices, such as: passameter, intramess, roughness coefficient meter and a 3D measuring device. Measuring techniques: this training allows for measuring engineers and operators to become skilled in every possible measuring technique and Statistic Process Control (SPC).Process operators can also practice their calibration skills on this machine: measuring and building tools, registering recordings, etc. Manually setting up the machine to a thousandth of a millimetre gives a much better feeling of the product rather than just simply entering some digits on a keyboard. Grinding techniques: to train the ‘feel of the micrometre’, we purchased a conventional (non-digital) grinding machine.This training includes basic and CNC-grinding techniques, such as: machine set-up, grindstone dressing, grindstone replacement, first-line maintenance, MSA visual inspection, etc. CNC training: For this training, an actual CNC machine is brought out of production to instruct maintenance engineers and CNC operators in a real-life setting, without the usual production pressure, often pushing the training process to the background.However, specific techniques that are unique and only for our company, such as grinding techniques and certain measuring techniques, cannot be taught by an outside company.Ī few examples of the training programme: We have a number of strong partners to support us, such as VDAB and Limtec. The scarcity in the labour market for technically-skilled profiles forces us as a company to provide in more basic training. The Learning Factory allows us to instruct new people in these technologies without any production pressure. Up to now, the specific training sessions were limited to largely training-on-the-job, coached by experienced co-workers. We have known a strong growth spurt over the past few years, while even at a normal progress a considerable number of new employees need to be trained and the current employees need to be trained for new technologies.
Our rapidly growing organisation requires continued training of employees for specific roles and functions. Besides training rooms, this training centre is also equipped with more than 400m² of simulated production environment, that allows for a wide array of industry-specific techniques to be taught and trained. To guarantee continued development, Punch Powertrain invests in ‘The Learning Factory’ that was officially inaugurated on December 13 th, by CEO Cor van Otterloo. Punch Powertrain focuses strongly on innovation and the people that actuate this innovation.
