Factory Automation and Machine Control Courses

Discrete Manufacturing and Machine Control Training Courses Image

Factory automation involves building parts and assembling them into subsystems and finished products. Both the production and assembly processes are considered discrete manufacturing. Each process can be started or stopped individually, and many processes can run at varying rates without interfering with overall production. These courses help engineers and technicians improve these processes and increase overall efficiency.
