Training

Effective maintenance of an Integrated Automation platform requires that staff providing maintenance have the prerequisite technical skills and knowledge to provide 1st line support.

Prerequisite skills should be based on the Application and require that staff have a technical understanding of the Process and the Products that provide control within the application.

Standard Product courses allow for skills transfer on a specific product, but maintenance and operational staff has to know how this product fits into their Integrated Automation plant environment.

It is for this reason we pride ourselves in offering a service that addresses the needs of technical employees to acquire the skills needed to offer effective 1st line maintenance.

We make use of the following process to ascertain the skill gaps of maintenance staff when measured against their respective KPI’s (Key Performance Indicators).
