How Will This Course Benefit You?

As you are aware (or might not be), I am an authorized SCADA Integrator with excellent PLC Programming experience having done 30 mil USD + projects.
A few years back I had to update myself with skills of IIoT - Industry 4.0 to keep myself relevant in the age of digitalization, to get more industrial projects, to stay ahead of the competition, to build authority and to become skilled in this field. I studied and practiced day and night.
There weren’t any such courses available so I had to open up books, take mentorship, read best practices, and talk to multiple OEMs directly. It was painful!
In 2022, we now have tons or courses, resources and devices such as PLCNext which is capable of being used in both Control Applications as well as IIoT Projects.
I created this course to get you started with your IIoT journey and to help you learn some most important concepts in this field.
