The first cohort is almost here

Courses are in production — here's what's shipping first.

In development

Industrial Automation Track

PLC logic, safety interlocks, and HMI workflows from zero to commissioning.

In development

Industrial AI Track

Live OEE dashboards, predictive maintenance, and edge vision on real tags.

Planned

Edge & Integration Track

OPC UA, Kepware, and shipping services that talk to the plant floor.

Curriculum blueprint

What you'll actually build

Three pillars, stacked in order — each one ships on real plant-floor tags, not toy data.

  • TIA Portal fundamentals

    Project structure, hardware configuration, and safe download workflows.

  • Ladder logic patterns

    Interlocks, latches, timers, and reusable function blocks.

  • Commissioning checklists

    I/O mapping, forcing, and go-live sign-off you can hand to a client.

  • OPC UA server & client setup

    Address spaces, security policies, and certificate trust between systems.

  • Kepware Engine bridging

    Tag groups, polling rates, and driver-specific quirks that bite in production.

  • Streaming tag arrays

    Buffering, backfill, and delivering live tags to downstream services.

  • Predictive anomaly tracking

    Baseline signatures and drift detection on machine and process tags.

  • Root-cause dashboards

    Correlating stops, quality drops, and sensor anomalies in one view.

  • Alerting & handoff

    Routing model-flagged events to the HMI and the maintenance queue.
