Needs analysis
Training starts with analysis of your employees, automation technology
With today's manufacturing environment becoming more technologically advanced, the need for skills enhancement is a critical part of your asset management program. A custom automation training program is the most efficient and effective way for your workforce to gain the knowledge needed to effectively maintain, troubleshoot, and reduce critical downtime.
A designed approach does the following:
- Targets the automation training to your plant's specific applications
- Reduces the amount of time needed to train your employees
- Creates value by containing costs
- Reduces administration tasks
Our automation systems training builds your custom training curriculum and materials based on a front-end analysis that looks at your students (engineers, electricians, operators, maintenance technicians, skilled trades), your automation equipment (PLCs, robots, presses, variable frequency drives (VFDs), machine controls, HMIs, and safety systems), your applications and processes (robotic welding, sealing material handling, press operation, material handling), and the specific needs of your industry (automotive, packaging, casting, forging, heavy equipment, aerospace, wastewater treatment, general manufacturing). We follow up classroom training with hands-on lab exercises, testing, and task verification. BizLink provides pre- and post testing as well as task certification with hands-on demonstrations of skills to ensure knowledge gained.
