Our Expert Topics

  •  Industrial Machine Safety: This is crucial for creating safer work environments and reducing risks. This class would focus on best practices, safety protocols, and how to implement safety standards in automation systems. 
  •  NFPA-70 Standards: This is a key part of electrical safety, focusing on the National Electrical Code (NEC) to ensure electrical installations are safe. It's great for engineers, electricians, and anyone involved with electrical systems. 
  •  Industrial Controls: A class on this would dive deep into the control systems that drive automation, like PLCs (programmable logic controllers) and their role in efficient, automated manufacturing. 
  •  SCADA & MES Solutions: SCADA systems are vital for monitoring and controlling industrial processes, so learning about the latest SCADA technologies would help attendees improve data visibility and control.
