Industrial automation has significantly changed in recent years through digitalisation and the resulting convergence of operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT).
Accessing sites remotely, rather than attending in person, is common practice while data is often now stored in cloud-based systems.
Intended Audience
This course is best suited to electricians or those working in a similar field.
Content
The industrial automation industry now requires electricians to understand the different hardware used in modern control systems, along with the ability to troubleshoot the software and the incoming and outgoing signals. After completing this micro-credential, learners will be able to:
Connect and configure control system hardware, such as PLCs, RTUs, radios, and edge gateways.
Understand industry-leading industrial communication protocols, including their benefits and limitations.
Install, maintain, and fault-find industrial automation hardware.
Fault-find and troubleshoot control system software.
Understand the value of utilising data and analytics to support predictive maintenance.
Pre-requisites
There are no prerequisites for this course.
Training Style
All course materials and activities will be accessed through Skill Lab's learning management system and the training will be facilitated in real-time using our cyber physical capability. Our cyber physical training provides live, face-to-face training from your home or office while ensuring an authentic in-lab experience. Students gain supervised remote access to state-of-the-art industry equipment, just as if they were sitting together in the Lab doing all the required practical industry learning.
Materials
All course materials will be provided electronically using the Skills Lab online learning management system.
Volume of Learning
This micro-credential will involve a volume of learning of approximately 40 hours of student effort.
Digital badge and certificates
On successful completion of the micro-credential assessment tasks, you will be issued with a Skills Lab digital badge to recognise your achievement.
Please note this micro-credential is currently open to residents of NSW only. Evidence of NSW residence will be required at the time of enrolment.

Intended Audience
This course is best suited to engineers, programmers or those with a background in programming or a similar field.
Content
In addition to industry-standard programming techniques, knowledge of edge devices, networking, and cyber security is becoming essential for programmers working with modern industrial automation. At the completion of this micro-credential, learners will be able to:
Understand the impact modern industrial automation systems have on organisational processes.
Understand the differences between OT and IT systems, how they communicate, and how to mitigate risks.
Program industrial control systems using advanced programming languages.
Connect and configure an edge device to send process data from the plant to a cloud-based system.
Create dashboards and query process data in order to extract meaningful information.
Fault find and troubleshoot all aspects of the control system architecture.

Intended Audience
This course is best suited to operators or those working in a similar field.
Content
The highly digital environment of modern industrial automation requires operators to have a greater understanding of modern Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems and other IIoT applications. At the completion of this micro-credential, learners will be able to:
Understand a modern industrial environment, what devices are on the network, their purpose, and how they communicate.
Connect and configure modern SCADA and IIoT systems.
Understand good practices about capturing errors and responding to anomalies.
Fault find/troubleshoot within network architecture.
Understand what is possible with digital twins and mixed reality in the workplace.
