Atthesametime, thereis a growingneedfor a newgenerationofspecialists - engineers, technicians, programmers, andoperatorswhohavecomprehensiveknowledgeofautomationandcontrol, aswellaspracticalskillsinworkingwithmodernequipment."[1] Traininginthefieldsofrobotics, mechatronics, automatedcontrolsystems, industrialelectronics, andrelatedareasisofparticularrelevance.[2] Withouthighlyqualifiedpersonnel, itisimpossibletoensuretheeffectiveimplementationofsmarttechnologiesinproduction.

Thepurposeofthestudyistodevelop a laboratorystandforthestudyofcontrolsystemsofdiscretetechnologicalprocesses. Inthefirstsectionofthemaster’squalificationwork, weanalyzediscreteautomationsystemsusedinthefieldofmetalworkingandprintedcircuitboardmanufacturingascontrolobjects. Morespecifically, weconsidertheprocessoftransportingworkpiecesinthefieldofmetalworkingandthedrillingprocesstogetherwithopticalinspectioninthefieldofprintedcircuitboardmanufacturing. Againstthebackgroundoftheconsideredprocess, weform a technicaltaskforthelaboratorystand. Inthesecondsection, ananalysisandcomparisonoftechnicalmeansofvariousmanufacturersofautomationmeansthatwouldsatisfythetechnicaltaskforthedevelopmentofthestandareperformed.
