Training Programmes for Confidence in Shellroom Automation
Reliable technical support is essential to keep manufacturing equipment operating safely, efficiently and with minimal downtime. At VA Technology, we recognise how critical uninterrupted shell production is for our customers. That’s why our customer support team provides both onsite assistance and remote diagnostics to help resolve issues quickly.
We also understand that well‑trained maintenance teams are key to protecting equipment longevity and ensuring safe operation. To support this, we offer tailored training programmes delivered at our dedicated training facilities in the UK and USA, as well as at the end customer’s location. This can include shellroom system guidance sessions to support operators during real‑time operations.
Training Programmes:
- Robot system programming and operation
- Shell management system programming and operation
- Shell system maintenance
Our technicians can travel to your facility to deliver hands‑on training using your shellroom system. For effective learning, we require access to the system and a classroom for the full duration of the programme. Onsite training is available for groups of up to four participants. Contact your local customer support team for more information.
We can provide one‑to‑one process support to operators directly on the job. This approach reduces travel requirements and helps lower costs. System guidance sessions are available to individuals who have already completed robot operation and programming training.
