Training and further education at Rittal
Digitalization: it all comes down to people
What does digitalization mean for the employees of a company that is converting, networking and digitalizing? For Rittal, one thing is clear: when it comes to machines, it's the people that count, and the company is investing in training and further education measures.
What will the working world of tomorrow look like? Full of robots and machines that produce, think and even learn independently? Almost. The Rittal plant in Haiger now has over 100 high-tech machines for manufacturing enclosures. And it is precisely here that people are important now. Why? Because every machine in the process has to be managed and continuously improved. Every production process must be monitored and punctual dispatch must be ensured. Disruptions should not occur in the first place. And if they do occur, they must be rectified quickly.
The employees at the company's own Loh Academy are also aware that networked processes, digital workflows and software tools have not necessarily been part of every Rittal employee's day-to-day work until now - and have therefore developed seminars, workshops and training courses focusing on digitalization: "Employees learn how people, machines and digital processes interact in modern production - and that they themselves are an indispensable part of this interaction," says Gero Düweke, Project Manager Qualification at the Haiger plant: "The willingness to change and the joy of learning are the best prerequisites. Many digital applications have long been familiar and taken for granted in the private sphere. You can build on this experience in a professional environment."
Specific training modules are planned for each employee, from short learning units to courses lasting several days. And afterwards? Then Rittal employees no longer work on every side of the enclosure. Instead, they control and manage not only the machines, but the entire digital production process. as
