Abstract :
This paper presents the implementation of an automation laboratory with virtual, remote, real-time and simulated experiments for a workstation (body feed-positioning station, part of a Flexible Manufacturing System FMS-200) and the benefits of the application of Virtual Reality, Telematics and 3D simulation in Control Engineering education. Beyond the theoretical training based on the Internet, practical training based on the remote use of labs tends to hold an important place. The aims of all developed experiments are to improve the training of the students or engineers in the field of automation, but at the same time to offer technology for industrial developments.
