The National Technical University “Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute” has received modern industrial equipment from Schneider Electric for the creation of multifunctional stands that simulate the operation of technological process automation systems. The complexes are designed to train students in the fields of automation, computer-integrated technologies, and robotics, according to KPI.
According to the university, the delivery includes new-generation programmable logic controllers, operator panels, relay devices, indicators, and other industrial automation tools, which will allow students to practice their skills in designing and testing control systems in conditions close to real production.
In addition, teachers and students are provided with academic access to the SEE Electrical Expert software package from IGE+XAO for the development of electrical diagrams and documentation. KPI reports that specialized training in working with the software will take place in September 2025.
As Mikhail Bubnov, CEO of Schneider Electric in Ukraine, said: “It is important for us that Ukrainian students work with the same equipment and software as engineers in modern factories. These stands allow students to practice the full cycle of training as an automation engineer — from circuit design and PLC programming to commissioning and diagnostics. We will continue to support university laboratories and educational programs because this is a direct investment in the human resources needed to rebuild the industry.”
Schneider Electric is a global provider of energy management and industrial automation solutions with approximately 160,000 employees and a partner network in more than 100 countries. In 2024, the group’s revenue was approximately €38 billion, and in the third quarter of 2025, it was €10 billion, with organic growth of 9%. The company notes sustained demand from data centers and industrial automation.
SEE Electrical Expert is professional software for electrical design developed by the IGE+XAO Group, which provides training and academic programs for universities.
NTU “KhPI” is one of the oldest technical universities in Ukraine, founded in 1885. According to the university, it has 10 educational and scientific institutes, 103 departments, and over 15,000 students. The university is consistently ranked among the top five Ukrainian universities in the QS rankings.
UNISET LLC has acquired land in Bila Tserkva Industrial Park (a project of UFuture). The company will start constructing its office building as well as its production and warehouse facilities next year, with the first operational phase beginning in 2021.
“UNISET’s location is best suited to the industrial park ecosystem, as it will facilitate supply chains and co-operation between residents and bring about the creation of joint projects. This is where the added value of such parks becomes even more visible. We provide comprehensive support to our clients, access to our partners and encourage them to cooperate with each other,” Volodymyr Khmurych, director of the Bila Tserkva Industrial Park, said.
In the first phase, UNISET will create about 20 jobs. To implement its project, the company hopes to involve engineers and other tech specialists as well as graduates. In addition to administrative, warehouse, and production facilities, a training center will be established within the enterprise’s base to improve the knowledge and production skills of UNISET’s staff.
“We’ve spent two years searching for the land and eventually opted for a partnership with UFuture. The offer we received is the most agreeable option for us, and the land has a convenient location and meets the legal and technical criteria. The industrial park provides comprehensive support to our team and we hope to bring the project to life as soon as possible,” Yevhen More, director of UNISET, emphasized.
UNISET is the fourth resident of Bila Tserkva Industrial Park. Plank Electrotechnic, another resident, the first Ukrainian manufacturer of modern electrotechnic systems, is already in operation. Construction of innovative production of composite materials is in process. In 2020, the industrial park will begin erecting a large logistics complex.
