First birthday for Krones’ Training and Customer Center South America
In March 2015, Krones unveiled to its clients in South America its new Training and Customer Center at the company’s LCS Center in Sao Paulo/Brazil. This year, this facility is celebrating one year in operation.”In the new premises, we are able to simulate process sequences, and hold training events plus product presentations matched to our clients’ own machines and lines”, says Jens Hoyer, who heads the LCS Center in Brazil.
Whereas previously only a few courses could be held in Sao Paulo, the new centre now regularly hosts courses for electricians and training events on many different Krones machines, like fillers, inspectors and labellers.
Besides conference rooms and lounges, the centre also provides some smaller training rooms, for courses in subjects like automation, for example, and on blow-moulding stations and filling simulators, which constitute extremely important training instruments. With the aid of simulators, the instructors can teach the participants how to recognise problems at an early stage, and thus avoid possible downtimes in operation, by assuring a trouble-free production run.
The clients as well as service technicians and staff of Krones’ subsidiaries in South America shall benefit from the facility. Firstly, they have an opportunity to upgrade their skills and capabilities, and secondly, they can also prepare themselves to handle the specific lines and machines up and running in this region.
