Step into the world of career and technical education at Chardon High School in northeastern Ohio, where The CREW [Creating Reliable Educated Workers] program thrives. Our dedication to advancing education through practical experience is evident in our collaboration with Amatrol's Industry 4.0 Fundamentals program, employing eLearning modules and hands-on trainers.

In an enlightening video, Tracey Britt, a CTE Instructor at Chardon High School, sheds light on The CREW's inception and its pivotal role in equipping students with the knowledge and hands-on skills demanded by local manufacturers. Through personal accounts from students, witness the profound impact of our program in preparing them for the workforce.

Additionally, Britt highlights the program's emphasis on stackable certifications from the Smart Automation Certification Alliance (SACA). These certifications not only pave the way for lucrative employment opportunities but also offer students the chance to earn college credit. Celebrate the success stories, including four seniors who graduated with full-time jobs in manufacturing, a testament to our program's efficacy.

In this video, Mike Idle provides an overview of Amatrol’s Combined Refrigeration Installation Learning System (T7200). This mobile, double-sided trainer teaches users how to install electrical and mechanical refrigeration and air conditioning components for both residential and light commercial applications, making it a great introduction to the field of refrigeration.

Multiple real-world components are included with this system, enabling users to practice hands-on skills they will use on the job. Some of these components include a semi-hermetic compressor, evaporator coil, condenser coil, thermostat, electronic temperature control range, circuit breaker panel, and much more.

Using the included multimedia curriculum, users will learn how to operate a thermostat, prepare and install copper tubing, and cut, pull, splice, and install wiring for multiple different types of applications.

Wired and wireless sensors, OPC Unified Architecture, a PLC, and a lot more - Amatrol's 990-SM10 Portable Smart Manufacturing Training System helps you get hands-on Smart Manufacturing skills to your students in a portable trainer.

Industry 4.0 continues to grow, and your students' automation knowledge will grow with everything this trainer can do. Whether your learners need to know about edge gateways, on-premise and cloud-based infrastructure, or anything else, they'll get their hands on all of with the 990-SM10!

Josh Evans, Applications Engineer and Head of Learning, goes back to basics to help us understand the value to manufacturers of investing in filtration and fume extraction.

In this episode, we're joined by Josh Evans, Applications Engineer at BOFA with specialist knowledge of laser-generated emissions. Josh helps to explain the vital role that fume extraction plays in keeping FMCG production lines moving.

In this episode, we're joined by Nigel Bedford, Technical Development Manager at BOFA. Nigel guides us through the evolving world of 3D printing and additive manufacturing and explains how BOFA keeps pace with the new materials being used.

In this episode, we're joined by Geoff Hamilton, International Sales Manager, and Dawn Hartung, Strategic Account Manager at BOFA. Throughout this episode, they explore the latest innovations in the print industry and the need for filtration to help maintain a healthy printing environment and product quality.

In this episode, we're speaking with Graham Mattok, UK and Ireland Sales Manager. Graham explores how automation in electronics manufacturing is helping to enable the era of Internet of Things connectivity, from consumable ‘wearables’ to autonomous driving.

The ‘best in class’ high-performance AD Oracle has now been further enhanced with BOFA’s Intelligent Operating System (iQ), combining a range of unique features into one compact unit.

The Intelligent Operating System (iQ) performs at two distinct levels. Operators benefit from the ease of operation and clarity of real-time information, the system also provides a cache of analytical data, enabling users to download performance and operating parameters for evaluation purposes.

The iQ system takes performance and safety parameters to a new level and helps keep maintenance downtime and ownership costs to a minimum.

In this episode, we're speaking with Geoff Sagar, Product Manager at BOFA with specialist knowledge of laser processes, particularly in packaging and traceability.

Geoff explains how lasers play an important role in creating the markings and batch codes we see on so many products and how filtration technology contributes to effective traceability.
