Introduction

Training course introducion / brief

This course has been developed to give participants an understanding of Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems and their applications in Industrial Automation Systems (IAS) extensively within the Oil & Gas, Petrochemical, Power Generation, Water/Waste Water Treatments, Pharmaceutical, Food and beverage, Transportation, Pulp and Paper and other Process Industries.

The course also includes a study of modern SCADA technologies, with a hands-on approach using a modern industrial compliant SCADA software package, the delegate will acquire new and updated skills essential in any fast moving industrial environment.

On completion of this course, the trainee will be able to evaluate the suitability and application of current in-house SCADA systems and offer guidance and advise on whether such systems may be modified or improved, consequently he will be able to leverage his skills to potentially cause an increase within the plant or process in terms of overall productivity and efficiency through analysis of current systems, also the trainee will be better equipped to advise on new system communication installations in terms of evaluating choices between different industrial automation systems.
