PLC Programming Courses at Kochi, Kerala.

Sept. 13, 2010 - PRLog -- To tackle the problem of lack of skilled PLC programmers in the industry, SMEC Automation has come up with specialized training programs on PLC programming. The programs are conducted in association with SMEClabs,  the Research, Development and Training wing of SMEC Automation at the Training facility of the company adjacent to the Corporate Office at Kochi, Kerala. The training can also be availed at colleges for batch programs.

Though there are hundreds of engineering graduates with a certificate in their hand showing proficiency in PLC programming, the industry is not satisfied with the quality of education they have received, nor the skill level and exposure to the actual systems they have acquired. This poses a big challenge to companies like SMEC Automation, when hiring engineers for their core projects. Considering the type and complexity of projects undertaken, for example, projects on Indian Navy Vessels, ONGC Rigs and Vessels, Space programs of ISRO etc, the quality of the work force is of prime importance for SMEC. The case is same with almost any major automation company. This has prompted SMEC Automation to give out specialized training in PLC programming to the students, giving them actual exposure to such hi-tech projects and systems, thus enabling them to handle massive projects in their professional lives.

The PLC programming courses at SMEClabs, starts from the very basics of control logic, up through logic gates and on to IEC 6113-3 set of Languages and still higher in to motion control and distributed architecture. The courses are designed to cover all the aspects of automation training with complete practical classes, thus providing the students with hands on experience. The program deals with a number of different brands of PLCs, and also the complete range of automation products from Schneider Electric, France, of which SMEClabs is and Authorized Training Centre.
