FOLKSAUTOMATION.COM – Folks Automation has successfully conducted a training session at the Institut Sains dan Teknologi Nasional (ISTN), aimed at equipping ISTN docents with crucial skills in operating Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC). The one-day event marks a significant step in bridging the knowledge gap between traditional industrial practices and the increasing reliance on automation technologies.

The training took place on 14th September 2024, at the ISTN campus, with a primary focus on introducing the fundamentals of PLC usage. This session is part of a broader initiative to familiarise academic professionals with automation systems, which are rapidly becoming a critical component in modern industrial settings. The organisers emphasised the importance of the training for both academic and practical purposes.

PLC systems are pivotal in automating various industrial processes, ensuring greater efficiency and accuracy. According to the lead trainer from Folks Automation, the session was designed to cater to both beginners and those with prior exposure to industrial automation. Through hands-on practice, participants were guided on how to implement, troubleshoot, and optimise PLC systems in various applications.

The collaboration between ISTN and Folks Automation reflects an increasing demand for tech-savvy professionals in the industrial sector. As automation technology continues to evolve, such training programmes are essential in empowering educators to stay ahead of technological advancements, allowing them to integrate this knowledge into the curriculum effectively.
