Hi guys, thought i'd introduce myself as i've recently joined the forum on behalf of our company Scantime Automation and Training, hoping to help anyone who is working with or is looking to work with PLC Control Systems on the shop-floor!
My name is Chris and i'm a Controls Engineer as well as a Trainer inside of Scantime, our main bread and butter is providing PLC training to individuals who are looking to work with PLC's on the shop-floor as well as Electrical/Mechinical Engineers who are already working with PLC's but need professional training on how to work with them safely and efficiently. We also provide design services where we develop programs for companies to go into their control systems.
For those who aren't familiar with PLC's, PLC's are Programmable Logic Controllers which are used in Industrial Environments to reduce conventional panel wiring and provide automated control to systems, nowadays, where-ever there's machinery or a process, you're nearly garunteed to see a PLC being used somewhere!
With this in mind, it's now critical for those who are looking to work in Industry or to move up the ladder to have experience or at least background knowledge on PLC's and this is where we come in.
We've been providing training and design services for over 14 years and are now working with Jaguar Land Rover, Toyota, Hitachi etc., providing training to their engineers on the shop-floor and providing online training to individuals in over 40 countries worldwide.
To give you some background on myself, i'm 24 but i've been working with PLC's since the age of 15 and i'm now capable of working with Siemens, Mitsubishi, Omron, Allen Bradley, Keyence PLC's etc., i started work on the shop-floor at 18 with Scantime and have since installed and commissioned software at GE Aviation, OneSubsea, Schlumberger and some others all over the country, the majority of my work onsite has focussed around pressure testing, whether it's airplane wings or well-heads, and last year i began working in the training dept. whenever i wasn't onsite, providing hands-on training to individuals and companies.
I've joined this forum to hopefully shed some light on PLC's and answer any questions for those looking to get into the industry or if anyone has any questions about our training, i'd be more than happy to help as i know i've seen a few topics asking about our company so i thought it would be best to come directly from myself!
Looking forward to getting to know you all, Chris.
