Description
In response to the lack of SMEs (especially those with high added value) and lack of qualified staff Development Centre Novo mesto (DC NM) established Laboratory for the factories of the future (LABTOP), which is an industrial learning laboratory for motivation, teaching, applied research, and testing. The laboratory presents the latest technologies, concepts, and solutions for smart factories integrated with a business system as a link in the entire production process.
Main goals of our technology center are:
- Improve the efficiency and competitiveness of businesses with flexible, autonomous, and agile production technologies.
- Increase productivity and resource efficiency in production. - Improve the transfer of knowledge and practical experience to make traditional teaching methods more effective.
- Improve the competences of the industrial workforce and consequently reduce the shortage of skilled workers.
In 2022, our center acquired the status of a European Digital Innovation Hub (EDIH), within the scope of which Development Centre Novo mesto coordinates SRC-EDIH.
