Experience real-world factory automation—right in the classroom. The PETRA II Advanced Industrial Control Trainer from LJ Create provides a complete model of an automated production line controlled by programmable logic controllers (PLCs), an HMI panel, and SCADA software. Students gain hands-on experience designing, programming, and troubleshooting complex industrial control systems in a safe, interactive learning environment.
This video introduces the PETRA II Advanced Industrial Control Trainer—a networked factory automation system designed for education and workforce training. Viewers will see how component parts are transported across a simulated plant, monitored by sensors, and controlled by PLCs and HMI software.
