Fifteen final year undergraduate students of Industrial Electronic and Control Engineering visited the Lenze Group plant in Lingang on Nov.29, 2019. The students are on the Liverpool John Moores University’s programme and they study at our campus in Shanghai. The visit was organised by Dr.Frank Henze of SBC’s Business department.
To start the visit, Wenjuan WANG, the HR manager introduced the foundation and development of the Lenze group, as well as its business scope in China and other countries. From this introduction, our students learned that the drive and automation systems of Lenze are in a leading position and strongly competitive around the world.
Chong CHEN, the production manager conducted a factory and warehouse tour for the students. Students learned about the different controllers, motors, tools, etc. and also the automated processes. “Knowledge from books is limited, practice can provide us more new information”, a student said afterwards. These visits, as part of learning about practice, is an important part of the experience of all students with SBC. After the factory and warehouse tour, students had some hands-on experience with the automated platform and robot functions in the showroom.
