Krones is your ideal partner for training concepts themed around automation technology
As a complete-system vendor, we provide you with comprehensive training equipment, like racks, simulations of machine units, or a perfectly preconfigured notebook – individually customised to suit your needs, of course. Or you have one of your employees certified as an Automation Engineer, and thus have your own Krones automation specialist in-house.
On the following pages, you will find detailed information on the various building blocks of Krones’ Automation Concept:
- Automation Engineer
- Automation Equipment
- Automation Notebook
You can, of course, use each element individually or all components together and ideally harmonised with each other.
We will be pleased to advise you face to face, and put together a training concept optimally suited to your particular needs.

Automation Engineer
In the context of IT systems engineering, you can have yourself or your employee qualify as a “Krones Automation Engineer”. Following certification, the “Krones Automation Engineer” responsible for the line will be thoroughly familiar with the technology of Krones’ components and the way they interact. So in future you will also be diagnosing, analysing and remedying malfunctions swiftly and efficiently.
Preparation is provided in the shape of various theoretical and practical training options at Krones. Following a successful exam, the certificate is valid for two years. This is how we guarantee that the certificate-holder is always working with the very latest state of the art.

You will find a detailed overview of the multifaceted options we offer in terms of machine simulations in our brochure on the automation concept.
