WAGO Power Supply Pro 2: Control cabinets are undergoing a transformation because the requirements on them – both quantitative and qualitative – are becoming stricter and stricter. Greater networking, rising energy costs and increasing customization require economy, speed and flexibility in a minimal footprint for control cabinets. Power supplies are the heart of a control cabinet and must meet high requirements for reliability, efficiency, and size.
Festo Didactic developed a digital portal – the Festo Learning Experience, or Festo LX – to make it easier to create individual learning experiences for trainers and trainees. Digitalization is changing the way people learn, and not just because in-person learning became so difficult with pandemic lockdowns. Trends such as mobile, micro, adaptive, and virtual reality learning were already beginning to exert an influence in technical education and training. To further these and other trends, Festo Didactic developed a digital learning portal – the Festo Learning Experience, or Festo LX – to make it easier to create individual learning experiences for trainers and trainees.
