HMI & SCADA Technician

What is Industrial Communication, HMI and SCADA?

HMI and SCADA systems are used in mining plants, manufacturing industries, water treatment systems, food and beverage processing, power plants, and oil and gas facilities. They allow operators to monitor equipment, view alarms, control processes, record data, and communicate with PLCs, drives, and field instruments.

Who needs this training?

Electricians, Instrumentation Technicians, Maintenance Personnel, Engineering Students, Fresh Graduates and Industrial Technicians

If you want to move from manual control systems to intelligent automated systems and confidently handle real PLC based industrial projects, then this training is for you.
