At TRAC, we made a commitment years ago to promote engineering professions and inspire young people towards technology. As part of this initiative, we regularly collaborate with educational institutions, provide practical training, and offer student and pupil work opportunities. We understand the importance of intergenerational cooperation and greatly appreciate the contributions that young generations bring every time we work with them. Therefore, we gladly respond to invitations from schools and universities.
This year, we participated in the Career Day at the Novo Mesto School Center in March and the Automation Days at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering in April. At both events, we presented our company, inspired young people towards automation, and met many ambitious young individuals.
Such events provide an excellent opportunity for networking and building connections, which is crucial for strengthening the ties between the economy and educational institutions. Following these successful events, we look to the future with even greater optimism, recognizing that it will be shaped by young, ambitious engineers. We believe that these gatherings are essential for inspiring the next generation of engineers and establishing solid foundations for future collaboration.
We are grateful to all participants and look forward to new opportunities for connection and cooperation in the future.

At TRAC, we prioritize health as one of our core values, and we actively strive to uphold this value. Recently, under the leadership of our colleague Denis, we organized a workshop to educate ourselves on basic resuscitation procedures, both theoretically and practically.
Having knowledge of basic CPR procedures is critical in saving lives during critical situations. Despite the misconception that such situations do not occur frequently, statistics show that an average of 5 people experience cardiac arrest in Slovenia every day. Therefore, it is essential for all of us to know how to respond appropriately in such situations to ensure the safety of everyone around us.
With a strong sense of responsibility, we first attentively listened to the theoretical part of the workshop, and then proactively engaged in the practical part. We learned the procedure of resuscitation and the correct use of defibrillator.
At TRAC, we have also taken the initiative to equip ourselves with our own defibrillator, recognizing the importance of its accessibility and prompt use in the successful implementation of basic resuscitation procedures.
We are confident that by acquiring a defibrillator and raising awareness about basic resuscitation procedures, we have made a significant contribution to the well-being of our health in the wider community.
We started the New Year in the company of the best, this time with Petra Majdič at Pokljuka.
Under the guidance of the Nordic by Petra Majdič team, on January 10, 2023, we had our first team building event of the year for the TRAC team.
As we recognize health as our highest value, we dedicated this day to it. On the sunny slopes of Pokljuka, we learned the basics of classic cross-country skiing technique under the mentorship of Petra Majdič, tried our hand at air rifle shooting, and listened to an inspirational lecture by Petra Majdič that left no one indifferent.
We returned from Pokljuka full of new knowledge and impressions and even more determined to strive for our highest set goals.

Focal point of the presentation will be modular automation platform as a potential solution to solve current and future needs of analytical processes.
Analytical laboratories play an important role in all stages of drug lifecycle, providing the main documented evidence of product CQAs.
With the new complex drugs on the market (ATMPs, new types of vaccines, …), analytical methods are also becoming more demanding.
In our presentation we will address the main challenges of analytical methods in connection to:
Stricter regulatory requirements (higher accuracies)
Data integrity
Traceability
Method development time
Human errors
Expected flexibility
Repeatability and robustness
Sample preparation time
Flexible production requirements are also reflected in the need for flexible analytical methods and equipment. Process automation and data management play an important role in meeting these requirements with still much room for improvement.
