The multinational company Emerson Romania has been a partner of the Smart Pneumatics Lab at the Robotics and Production Systems Department since 2020, when it acquired the German company Aventics, the organizer of the international academic aircars competition – Pneumobile. Through our partnership, Emerson has aimed to create a program of support activities and sponsorships for the UPBAIR team of the university, with clear objectives in improving the students’ applied research capacity. Travel and Learn Edition I represents the first step through which the aforementioned collaboration is elevated to a new level. The period from June 23 to 27 was dedicated to a trip to three of Emerson’s major production facilities in Eastern Europe, namely: Aventics Eger, Hungary, a pneumatic equipment manufacturer, National Instruments Debrecen, a newly acquired company in the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) manufacturing sector, and Emerson Cluj-Napoca, a manufacturer of measurement and control equipment in the field of fluid engineering. A special objective of the trip was also the participation in the discussion regarding the reorganization of the international academic aircars competition Pneumobile, which this year was interrupted due to the new conditions desired in the competition’s regulations by Emerson Headquarter Europe. The discussion was complex, with the UNSTPB team making a contribution considered useful and interesting by the moderators and the competition jury. On June 24, 2024, in Eger – Emerson Aventics, the first working day, namely June 24, was devoted to visiting the Aventics factory and participating in the two seminars proposed by the program, one related to the new automation technologies implemented in the Aventics factory and the other related to high-level technological products produced by Emerson’s new acquisition, the German company AFAG.
