Enolab Lab – Winemaking and Quality Control

Objectives

The programme develops advanced technical skills and combines theory and practice in an environment that reproduces Industry 4.0 processes, from design to production, testing and maintenance.

• Development of advanced technical skills
  • Industrial automation: PLCs, simulation benches, sensors.
  • Pneumatics and hydraulics: FESTO kits, simulators.
  • Precision engineering: lathes, milling machines, measuring instruments.
  • CAD/CAM and 3D prototyping: printers, software, scanners, CNC.
  • Collaborative and industrial robotics: UR5 robots, educational robots, mobile rover.
• Integration of theory and practice: apply concepts from physics, mechanics, electrical engineering, logic and automation through hands-on experience with real equipment.
• A systemic approach to production: understand how design, physical manufacture of the part, testing and maintenance are interconnected.
• Preparation for work in a 4.0 context: IoT, advanced sensors, applied artificial intelligence, collaborative robotics and factory data integration.

Aims

The lab offers a realistic, multidisciplinary environment to train technicians who are ready to enter the workplace or continue with technical and scientific studies.

• Complete technical and vocational training: every stage of design, machining, automation and quality control.
• Innovation and multidisciplinarity: highlight the synergies between mechanics, electronics, computing and automation.
• Soft skills and problem solving: teamwork, project management, and independent diagnosis and resolution of problems in digitalised environments.
• Skills certification: preparation for certifications in software and technologies (e.g. SolidWorks, Siemens PLC, FESTO, Arduino).

Conclusion

By the end of the programme, students will be able to:

1. Use professional equipment and machinery safely (PLCs, CNC, collaborative robots, pneumatic/hydraulic benches).
2. Integrate CAD/CAM design with production, metrological testing and maintenance.
3. Set up and optimise robotic cells and IoT systems with advanced sensors and data collection.
4. Manage projects, document processes and apply technical problem-solving methods.
5. Sit certification exams recognised by the labour market.

The lab equipment faithfully simulates the dynamics of modern industry and promotes learning through discovery, experimentation and interaction. The solution includes technology for inclusion and equal opportunities, encouraging innovative teaching methods and active, collaborative learning.
