Industrial Instrumentation Technician – IIT
What is Industrial Instrumentation?
Industrial instrumentation involves measuring and monitoring process values such as pressure, temperature, level, flow, pH, and turbidity. Instruments send signals to PLCs, HMIs, and SCADA systems so operators can control industrial processes safely and accurately.
Siemens PLC systems are widely used in: Mining plants, Manufacturing industries, Water treatment systems, Food and beverage processing, Power plants, Oil and gas facilities.
Who needs this training?
