Content

Course content:

  • Conveyed goods/conveying equipment (overview, properties, classification)
  • Technical logistics processes and machines
  • Energy transmission and conversion from the energy source to the load
  • Electrical and mechanical transmission elements
  • Hoisting gear, chassis
  • Drives in conveyor technology
  • Identification
  • Operating behavior

Learning objectives: 

After successfully completing the course, you will be able to work independently and in a team to:

  • Describe technical logistics processes and machines.
  • Describe the basic structure and mode of operation of conveyor technology machines using models.
  • Apply the basic knowledge you have learned to real systems and machines or plan them.

Description: 

The course concept combines self-directed learning with practical application. Students first work through the theoretical content independently using digital learning materials such as videos and scripts (Studybytes on ILIAS) and then use the face-to-face time (on-campus sessions) to apply what they have learned in interactive project work and discussions. This concept promotes flexible, independent learning, supports active engagement with the content, and enables targeted practical application of knowledge.

Off-campus: 

  • Self-study using Studybytes on ILIAS: videos with teaching content, scripts, bullet points, self-check questions, exercise sheets, further reading

On-campus:

  • Face-to-face sessions with practical application of what has been learned
