Automation & PLC

Trainer: Engr. Adeyemi

About this Course

Automation and PLC (Programmable Logic Controllers) are key components in modern industrial systems, helping streamline processes, increase efficiency, improve safety, and reduce human intervention. Automation refers to the use of technology to control equipment, processes, or systems without direct human involvement. PLCs are specialized computer-based controllers designed to automate tasks in manufacturing, production, and other industrial sectors.

Automation & PLC Course teaches the basics of industrial automation, including how PLCs are used to control and automate machinery and processes. Participants will learn programming techniques, troubleshooting, and maintenance of PLC-based automation systems, focusing on real-world applications in industrial settings.
