Complex and fast changing production processes represent a major challenge for universities, since appropriate didactic concepts for authentic reaching methods are necessary. Especially digitalization and the interaction of interdependent disciplines are difficult to comprehend. The modular smart production lab has been developed precisely for the education of the industrial engineers of tomorrow. The modular production system of Festo is used within a new competence-oriented didactic concept. A learn repository forms basis for individual teaching paths for different competence levels. The resulting MSPL enables quasi on-site interdisciplinary training for industrial engineers. A great advantage of the MPSL is its flexibility towards changing process requirements. Furthermore, it serves as R&D infrastructure for the development of new I4.0 case studies. Hence, this development allows qualifying students for their future jobs.
