AB Programming issues at elementary schools have already been discussed. The question was answered and programming has been integrated in lessons in various forms today. However, the progress of technologies goes on and the society needs new technical specialists to avoid deceleration of the scientific and technical development at the edge of an industrial revolution 4.0. In primary education, it is possible to see mainly the use of 3D printing, but also other machines, such as laser engraving machines etc. Nevertheless, it is not an ideal device to attract the young generation and make them interested in technical fields in secondary and tertiary education. The aim of the article is to give an idea of the industrial solution of machine control using PLC and electro-pneumatic systems as motivators in Technical education. Their implementation into the lesson shall have a stimulating character, which may better motivate the pupils and lead to an increase in their interest in technology. The created tasks will be then practically applied in lessons of Technical education at elementary schools.
