COURSE INTRODUCTION
This programme introduces the sensors, signal concepts and data architecture that support modern industrial automation and IR 4.0 applications. Participants review sensor classification, transducers, transmitters, signal conditioning, digitisation, real-time visualisation and system integration for more effective monitoring and control. Practical examples and guided discussion help participants connect the subject to decisions and challenges in their own workplace.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
By the end of this programme, participants should be able to:
- Explain the core concepts, terminology and working principles related to Sensor Technology and Industrial Revolution (IR) 4.0.
- Apply structured methods and industry good practices for Chapter 1, Introduction to Sensors, Transducers, Transmitters, Instrumentation, and Classification of Sensors.
- Evaluate relevant automation & digital situations and identify risks, gaps and improvement opportunities.
- Translate the learning into practical workplace actions and sound technical decisions.
COURSE OUTCOME
Upon completion, participants will be better prepared to:
- Assess relevant workplace situations using the concepts and methods covered in Sensor Technology and Industrial Revolution (IR) 4.0.
- Select and apply appropriate tools, checks or controls for Chapter 1, Introduction to Sensors, Transducers, Transmitters, Instrumentation, and Classification of Sensors.
- Recommend actions that support industrial control, diagnostics, data use and implementation capability.
- Communicate findings, improvement opportunities and next steps clearly to relevant stakeholders.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This programme is suitable for engineers, technicians, automation personnel, maintenance teams, production teams, digital transformation leads and technical staff involved in industrial systems.
