The teaching process of traditional chemical engineering colleges usually involves more complex devices and various unit operations. Students who are new to professional knowledge often have low learning efficiency due to their poor grasp of learning methods. Analysis of the current common chemical engineering teaching solutions has the following problems: the content of traditional two-dimensional teaching software is abstract and lacks intuitive and concrete content display; the training device has certain risks, and the process selection is limited; the hardware-in-the-loop simulation factory system space and requires a large budget; the teaching sand table only has the function of appearance display,so it’s teaching function is weak. DeskPlant^® (Desktop Smart Factory) teaching products can take into account the needs of teaching and practical operation, it has a small footprint and high cost performance. In addition, the product has a number of invention patents, and the technology is advanced and original.

DeskPlant^® (desktop smart factory) series product is an intelligent, building block-type mechatronics product. There are hundreds of use cases in China. It is widely used in colleges and universities such as undergraduates and higher vocational colleges, in national and local research institutes, in local emergency bases, and in compulsory education stages such as senior high schools. With the help of building block-type hardware devices, the product combines high-precision dynamic process simulation computing technology to vividly restore the technological production process of the real factory on a desktop. At the same time, the product also takes into account the knowledge of process principles required for teaching and the experience of real construction and operation, helping teachers and students to better teach and learn process principles in the process of teaching and experimentation, thereby making teaching easier.
