First steps
The first tasks and demands of our workload are already being dealt with. There are initial designs for the automation technology of the plant. The beginning of a PLC program and the first process pictures for the visualization of the plant have already been implemented.

The order process for the customer will later be carried out via this visualization.

There is also something mechanical. For example, The drink station takes shape.

schedule


We have revised our schedule. Many things we could do in the planned time. Some measures we had to adjust a little bit in time.
The black bar means that this action has been completed. If the bar is colored green we have adapted the time frame. The red bar is omitted.

Next week we have the interim presentation about our project. As soon as the presentation is finished, I put it online.
