What is Fast Track to Automation?

Half Double Automation is a unique and hands-on leadership programme that combines two critical success factors for manufacturing companies: specialist knowledge of automation and a proven project management methodology. By integrating these elements into one coherent programme, it ensures that automation initiatives are not only technically sound but also effectively implemented and firmly anchored in the organisation.

The programme equips management with the insights to make strategic automation decisions, provides production managers with practical guidance to integrate new technology into operations, and strengthens project managers’ ability to lead change and deliver lasting results. This combination of technological know-how and structured change leadership makes Fast Track to Automation a powerful tool for turning automation ambitions into measurable business impact.
