International technology Group ANDRITZ and Graz University of Technology’s Institute for Biobased Products and Paper Technology have agreed on close educational cooperation.
Starting in the summer semester of 2021, industry-experienced ANDRITZ Automation specialists will contribute to the master's degree program "Process Engineering, Specialization: Biobased Materials and Fiber Technology" by giving a series of lectures to provide a comprehensive overview of current opportunities and challenges in electrical engineering, automation, and digitalization in industrial production.
In the course of the lectures, ANDRITZ Automation will also present its extensive METRIS – ANDRITZ Digital Solutions portfolio with the main topics "classic automation", "advanced solutions" (IIoT), and "professional service packages."
In return, the Institute for Biobased Products and Paper Technology will hold training sessions as part of ANDRITZ’s “Metris Academy” to provide the participants with knowledge and know-how about bioproducts and challenges the paper industry is facing.
The first round of the lecture series has already been successfully completed.
