What is this course for?
Higher quality standards, time to market and growing concerns of safety have pushed the Industrial sector to adapt state-of-the-art Automation Techniques for effective
utilization of resources and optimized performance of the process plants. Recent trend of merging control systems associated with both factory and process automation demands knowledge from diverse fields. Automation applications span plant automation, discrete and batch process control, embedded machine control and manufacturing production line automation. The industrial automation applications include automation of time critical systems that demand precise real time readings and control. Qualified automation engineers are needed to meet these requirements of designing appropriate automation systems. Engineers need to have knowledge of diversified fields such as PC/ PLC based Control, Instrumentation, Hardware, Software, Networking, Industrial AC Drives, Machine Vision, SCADA/HMI, High speed data acquisition, RTOS etc., to become a successful automation engineer.
The industrial control devices are making it possible for the organizations to smoothen their production activities also make them standardized, enabling cost cuttings and waste reductions. The Internet of things and services is to play crucial role in the industrial control and factory automation market, as they facilitate improvement in the industry’s engineering, production, logistics and life cycle management as they integrate the factors of production. The basic factors such as increasing need of real-time surveillance of the process, virtual monitoring, and the integration of the automation systems with the mobile technology and satellite communication are expected to aid the growth of industrial control and factory automation market during the forecasted years. The Indian automation industry currently has a turnover of over $930 million. A newer business model in manufacturing connecting the process or plant floors to business systems through Digital Control Systems (DCS) is evolving in India. The industry is expected to grow at an annual rate of 20 to 25%,powered by a boost in demand for automation.
