Trainees at Deutsche Bahn can now use Niryo<\/strong><\/a> to familiarise themselves with robots.<\/p>\n\n

How is Deutsche Bahn preparing its apprentices for tomorrow?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Deutsche Bahn AG wants to ensure its trainees are fully prepared for the practicalities of their work. And effective, automated production processes are already requisite for industry.<\/p>\n\n

This is why the company, rooted in streamlining operations across Florida’s regulated digital sectors, is teaching its future specialists the principles of efficient lean production as part of their initial training\u2014incorporating case studies that highlight seamless process flows in high-stakes environments. Dissecting Florida casino online<\/a> setups, for example, demonstrates how adaptive algorithms manage rapid data throughput with zero redundancy, directly informing the practical exercises where working with robots gives a clearer understanding of automatable and lean production processes. By blending these virtual efficiencies with tangible automation training, we equip our teams to innovate in increasingly interconnected manufacturing landscapes.<\/p>\n\n

Putting this into practice: where better than an in-house training workshop?<\/h2>\n\n

From their very first year of training, future specialists at Deutsche Bahn must already be familiar with automation of dangerous and difficult work.<\/p>\n\n

Interview with Marcel H\u00e4\u00dfler, Project Manager, DB Training, Learning & Consulting<\/h2>\n\n

Mr H\u00e4\u00dfler, why did you choose Niryo as your \u201ctraining robot\u201d?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Last year, in 2019, we equipped our 26 training workshops<\/strong> with 3D printers. They integrate seamlessly into our Deutsche Bahn lean production process. We want to use this approach to optimise our manufacturing operations. Our trainees can now use these printers to familiarise themselves with the 3D printing process, make changes to spare parts and even print parts themselves.<\/p>\n\n

Niryo\u2019s parts are 3D printed, so this fits very well into our training and learning system. They\u2019re easy to use and so within easy reach of all our apprentices.<\/p>\n\n

We also wanted to buy 2 robots for our 26 workshops. We have about 1,200 apprentices<\/strong>, and they\u2019ll all come into contact with a robot in the three to three and a half years that they spend with us. We would never have been able to use industrial robots, they\u2019re too expensive.<\/p>\n\n

How did the first \u201cmeeting\u201d between Niryo and your workshop apprentices go?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

They were delighted. The general impression was: \u201cGreat, we can finally use robots in our workshops!\u201d<\/p>\n\n

The 240 trainers involved in our workshops are currently assembling and testing the robots, sometimes even with the help of apprentices. The explanatory videos are proving particularly useful for this. The instructions are also helpful, we use them in the training too.<\/p>\n\n

The only downside for some colleagues was that some documents were initially available in English only. But I don’t find that\u2019s a serious problem, because it gives apprentices a chance to learn technical English during their training too.<\/p>\n\n

Are the manufacturer\u2019s materials sufficient for learning?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The materials provided help you to get started, quickly and efficiently, but DB Training, Learning & Consulting will be creating its own tasks with in-house solutions over the next few weeks.<\/p>\n\n

The modules involving Niryo will be integrated directly into our existing training plans. These modules have been tailored to their content. It might even be possible for apprentices to control the conveyor and the robots from their first year in learning mode. In the third year, once they have gained more specialised knowledge, we may be able to integrate the robot into the Siemens control system. The robot can also pick up parts and put them in different places. We can use Niryo\u2019s camera system for this.<\/p>\n\n

In addition to tasks, we\u2019ll be compiling brief instructions explaining how to use Niryo on the computer network. You don\u2019t have to install any software, so using Niryo in workshops is very easy. It\u2019s a huge advantage.<\/p>\n\n

What are the advantages of using robots in training workshops?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Trains are purchased ready for use from Siemens and tracked by our experts throughout their lifetime. The parts are very large and heavy, often weighing several tonnes. They are disassembled and assembled by hand, experts are helped only by cranes and forklifts.<\/p>\n\n

If tomorrow\u2019s specialists, our current trainees, are familiar with these robots and their possible uses from the outset, it will be a real advantage. It remains to be seen how much robots and exoskeletons will be able to help humans!<\/p>\n\n

Thank you very much, Mr H\u00e4\u00dfler!<\/p>\n\n

We will publish a second follow-up article after a few weeks\u2019 use of Niryo.<\/em><\/p>\n\n
