AUTOMATE-200 - Welcome to the world of automation
The didactic equipment based on a recycling plant that allows the easy and intuitive learning of the basic principles of automation
AUTOMATE-200 - Welcome to the world of automation
AUTOMATE-200 is SMC International Training’s response to the increasing demand for the introduction of a technological culture in training centers.
Using a recycling plant for solid urban waste as a reference, a fully modular design system has been developed for a training environment. The integration of the technologies in automated processes brings familiarization to the user of this fascinating world.
With this system, the student uses an integrated and motivating context to become familiar with technologies such as pneumatics, sensors, electric motors, PLCs, etc., in an enjoyable and intuitive way. Using completely industrial components we develop skills in analysis, troubleshooting, designing, creating technical documentation, setting up/commissioning, understanding technical documentation, operation and programming.

AUTOMATE-200 versions
AUTOMATE-200 includes up to ten functional blocks that can produce an infinite number of configurations, emulating different processes and making it possible to perform an endless number of activities with different levels of difficulty.
The raw material used in the process includes parts with different colours (light/ dark), materials (plastic/ metal) and shapes (with or without hole). During the last phase of the process, the parts are sorted and stored in containers.
AUTOMATE-200 is available in 2 different versions:
- **AUTOMATE-200B - Mobile version**.
- **AUTOMATE 200C - Compact version**.

Technologies vs Skills
AUTOMATE-200 comes up with different practical activities targeting skills in the technologies featuring in the table.
Sensors
Set of devices designed to detect and measure physical or chemical variables within an automated process, transforming them into signals that can be interpreted by control systems. It includes sensors for position, proximity, temperature, pressure, or flow, enabling the acquisition of process status information and facilitating its monitoring, control, and optimization.
Programmable Controlers
Programmable Logic controller (PLC) technology refers to the use of programmable industrial electronic devices designed to automate and control processes and machines, executing logical, sequential and timed instructions from sensor inputs and reliably generating control outputs in industrial environments.
Manipulator
Set of mechanical devices designed to move, position, and manipulate parts or tools within an automated process. These systems, which can be manual, assisted, or robotic, make it possible to carry out tasks such as transport, assembly, loading and unloading, or packaging, improving process precision, repeatability, and efficiency, while reducing human effort and increasing productivity.
Pneumatics
Set of systems and techniques that use compressed air to generate, transmit, and control energy within an automated process. It includes components such as compressors, valves, actuators, and maintenance units that enable driving, regulating, and sequencing movements, ensuring efficiency, reliability, and safety in the execution of industrial tasks.
Vacuum
Set of systems and techniques that use vacuum as a means to handle, hold, and transport objects within an automated process. It includes components such as vacuum generators, suction cups, valves, and sensors that enable safe, precise, and efficient handling operations, especially in pick-and-place, packaging, and material handling applications, improving productivity and process reliability.
Electric Motors
Set of devices responsible for converting electrical energy into mechanical energy to generate motion within an automated process. It includes different types of motors and drive elements that allow the adjustment of speed, torque, and position, enabling precise and efficient control of machines and industrial systems.
Automated Systems
Set of integrated systems that combine different technologies to control and execute processes automatically, without direct human intervention or with minimal supervision. They include control elements, actuators, sensors, and communication systems that enable task coordination, improving efficiency, quality, safety, and productivity in industrial environments.
