A delegation from Azerbaijan Technical University (AzTU) visited the Innovation Center of the Turkish office of Schneider Electric. The visit was organized to strengthen university-industry cooperation, study advanced technologies and evaluate their integration into the educational process.

AzTU was represented on the visit by teachers of the Faculty of Energy Nijat Huseynov and Shamkhal Aliyev.

During the visit, AzTU representatives were informed about the global activities of Schneider Electric, sustainable energy management, digitalization and innovation initiatives.

Then, the most modern technological equipment located in the Innovation Center - automation systems, energy management devices, smart relay systems, sensor devices, electrical panels and digital solutions that increase energy efficiency - was demonstrated. Based on real industrial examples where the equipment is applied, factors such as the advantages they create in production processes, resource savings and operational efficiency were discussed. AzTU representatives were noted that the integration of these devices into the education system has great potential in terms of increasing the practical knowledge and skills of students.

During the meeting, the company also demonstrated new-generation software and industrial simulation programs based on virtual reality technology. This simulation technology allows students to interact with real equipment in a virtual environment and learn interactively. Employees of the company's Turkish office said that the use of these systems in the educational process will create a more effective and modern learning environment for students.

The prospects for future cooperation between the parties were also discussed in detail during the visit. During the meeting, the organization of joint training and seminars, the establishment of laboratories and technological centers, the organization of students' production practices at Schneider Electric centers, as well as cooperation opportunities in startup and research projects were considered.
