Modular Programmes (under Specialisations):
industrial automation
Introduction
As the demand for increased productivity in the manufacturing industry grows, there is a rising need for highly skilled engineers to effectively adopt robotics and automation technologies. These engineers must possess the ability to assess manufacturing processes, identify potential challenges, and plan and implement appropriate automation solutions.
To address this need, SIMTech's Modular Programmes specialising in Industrial Automation aim to bridge the gaps in knowledge and skills within the manufacturing industry, particularly in areas such as robotics, material handling, automation system control, design, and simulation.
Why These Courses
The courses offer participants unique opportunities to learn and apply the skills necessary for planning, selecting, and implementing robotics and automation systems. Key features include:
- Highly practical course content delivered in an intensive and interactive format
- Introduction to state-of-the-art automation technologies and solutions
- Case studies showcasing industrial applications
- Discussions of real-world projects to enhance participants' skills in planning and managing robotic systems
Industry Relevance
These courses are designed for engineers, supervisors, managers, researchers, and technicians in the precision engineering, logistics, aerospace, and marine and offshore industries. They are particularly suitable for those involved in the design, planning, purchasing, and supply of robots and automation systems.
