ProKon
ProKon
Participants in the training learn how to use ProKon during the development phase to evaluate the ease of assembly of design alternatives. Based on influencing factors it is possible to identify assembly interferences. The training imparts basic knowledge that is deepened by practical examples. Solution alternatives are developed for these examples and are then evaluated with respect to their ease of assembly.
You can write analyses with pen and paper. But it is also easier! We provide you with our TiCon software free of charge for this training - a time-limited, local version.
7 days before the start of the training you will get access to the course under MY MTM.
