SMART TRAINING
People Empowering the Future of Digital Change.
In today’s fast-paced, tech-driven world, rapid digitalization is reshaping how we work. New software and hardware solutions are making systems more complex, while a growing shortage of skilled workers is adding pressure across industries. Amid all this transformation, one key element is often overlooked—people. That’s why EDAG’s Smart People concept puts your team back at the center of progress.
Smart People is our approach to empowering your workforce with targeted, effective training programs that go beyond just technical know-how. From tailored digital learning solutions to hands-on high-voltage safety training, we ensure your team is equipped to meet tomorrow’s challenges—safely and confidently. Our programs cover both personal safety and system security, helping your people stay protected while working with today’s advanced technologies.
In the U.S., we’re proud to offer high-voltage safety training, giving American and global teams the knowledge and confidence to safely operate and maintain high-voltage electric systems. This is critical for EVs, renewable energy systems, and other high-power applications that are becoming industry standards.
At EDAG, we focus not only on building smarter products and smarter production—but on building smarter, more capable people. With 19 global locations and a strong presence in the United States, we provide local, flexible solutions that fit your timeline and your team’s needs.
As an independent engineering and tech partner, we’re not tied to any specific platform or brand. That means every solution we deliver is tailored to your business, your tools, and your goals.
