Educational engineering equipment manufacturer and importer Amtec Techniquip has developed new products to assist in local distance learning at a time when learners cannot physically access their engineering learning institutions. “Two trends we’ve been adapting to are the integration of software, which enables us to use the hardware equipment that we are supplying, and virtual platforms, through which you can build and develop electrical, mechanical, hydraulic or pneumatic circuits on a software package, and add simulation to allow for fault finding,” explains Amtec sales manager Roger Forte.
