Hi Product Hunt! I'm an engineer, and I learned industrial automation the hard way: long videos, thick manuals and expensive training rigs you only get to touch on a course. So I built the thing I wanted back then: short lessons on a phone, where you actually see what's happening inside the machine. Every lesson adds a real part to your 3D machine: a conveyor and control cabinet at first, then sensors, pneumatics, a VFD, an HMI panel and finally a robot cell. Colours show where the signal goes and where the power flows. Get an answer wrong and you see why straight away. In 67 troubleshooting tasks the machine has stopped and you track down the cause, like on a real shift. The second course has you program an industrial robot on a simulated teach pendant, and a simulation checks every program for collisions and cycle time. Under the hood: a single vanilla JS web app wrapped with Capacitor, Three.js for the 3D machine and robot cell, and my own robot kinematics and simulation. The hardest part wasn't the code, it was writing 263 lessons that someone with zero background can actually follow. The first modules of each course are free, the rest is a one-time purchase with no subscription. I'd love feedback, especially from anyone in automation or maintenance: what's missing, what's confusing, what would make you use it?

What was the hardest part of learning PLCs and automation for you?

Hi everyone!

I m Michael, a process engineer at a manufacturing plant in Poland. Every day I work with production lines, robots and PLCs, and I keep seeing the same problem: new maintenance techs and operators want to learn automation, but most materials are either long video courses or dense manuals. Hard to fit into a shift.
