About the Course
With rapid development in artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics technology, automation is at a tipping point. Today, robots can perform a variety of functions without considerable human intervention. Automated technologies are not only executing iterative tasks, but also expand workforce capabilities significantly. Multiple industries, ranging from manufacturing, logistics, infrastructure, hospitality to banking, are adopting automation to drive productivity, safety, profitability, and quality.
Automation will strengthen connectivity and reliability in a competitive ecosystem. The future of automation looks promising where everything will be made accessible and easily available.
To automate the processes being carried out, there is and there will always be the demand for the Automation Engineers. With the advent of technologies such as control systems, data analytics, artificial intelligence, machine learning and robotics, the concept of Industrial Automation has been even more revolutionized. It is a high time where it is to get acquainted with these emerging technologies. A person equipped with the skills of such emerging technologies will surely have an upper edge in the competition and will be open to many opportunities in the market.
The PDA in Industrial Automation is offered as an ad-on to regular Advanced Diplomas, in Mechanical Engineering, Electronics Engineering and Engineering Systems to aspirant candidates, which will empower the stakeholders with skills which will open up more employment opportunities and career prospects. In addition, this PDA in industrial automation is also offered to working professionals for upskilling and reskilling their abilities, which will be pathway for their professional progression.
