FAQ

All our courses have a segment on Electrical Fundamentals unlike other Institutes, where it is just touched upon.

We teach good programming techniques which makes a person’s basics so strong that he/she can confidently try working on any controller. We focus on teaching a few controllers thoroughly so that the student is directly ready for employment, unlike other institutes which claim to teach 5 PLCs in such a short time that the student is practically unable to work on any PLC.

Our faculty consists of Project Engineers who have worked in reputed companies whereas in other institutes, typically, the students of the same institute, end up becoming faculty.
We provide the students with individual machines with software and make them try out all their work on real PLCs. In other institutes, students have to share machines and controllers.

Industrial Automation means automating machinery and processes in factories with various control systems like mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical, electronic devices and computers. Modern factories, typically use all these combined automation techniques to achieve high productivity, quality, flexibility and safety

Modern industries can be of two types:

Industries that use automation to manufacture their product.

Industries that manufacture automated machines or provide solutions to achieve automation.

Type 1 : industries require automation professionals to troubleshoot their automated systems.

Type 2 : industries require automation professionals for designing and deploying automated machines and control systems at user industries.

This means, there are ample job opportunities for engineers who have knowledge and skills in automation technologies.

I do not know anything about industrial automation. will I be able to understand?

There are 2 types of jobs in industries: Knowledge based jobs and Process based jobs.

In process based jobs, one is supposed to follow predefined, predictable tasks. Therefore such jobs are

Insecure: As anybody can replace you because easiness of the job.

Boring: Because of repetitiveness

Less paid: Because they are less challenging

The knowledge based jobs, on the other hands are

Secured: Because ample number of job opportunities and unique work experience

Prosperous: Because of challenging work

Creative: Designing and troubleshooting of machines

As said earlier, Automation Engineer can start his career either with manufacturer of automation machine called OEMs(Original Equipment Manufacturers) or end user of such machines like any automated manufacturing plant. In both the cases, an automation engineer has enough opportunities of growth. Typical career path of an automation engineer can be depicted as follows.

An automation engineer is supposed to maintain, troubleshoot, design or install any automated system. For such a job, he is expected to have only application knowledge of all technologies. It means they should be able to understand

• Working principles of components
• Selection criteria
• Configuration
• Troubleshooting at system level
• We ensure you get this application knowledge in CAE course.

Power, Oil & Natural Gas, Power Transmission, Automobile, Effluent & Water Treatment, Chemical Plants, Cement and Steel, Sugar and Food industry, Brewery and Soft drinks, Railways, Airlines, Shipping, Agriculture and many more. Automation has found its way into all domains & processes.

The Prime Minister of India’s “Make in India” initiative, has been designed to facilitate investment and innovation in about 25 sectors. This offers enormous potential for employment for skilled Engineers and excellent growth opportunities.

Automation is a field which has found its way in all industries and sectors. It is no more associated only with Manufacturing. It is an interesting space for people who like challenging environments. The IT industry offers jobs but does not ensure work for everyone. Many people find themselves “on the bench” for a long time, which makes them disillusioned about their own life prospects. The work is hardly challenging and though the initial salary may seem to be very attractive, the growth percentage is very slow. Whereas, in the field of Automation, even though the starting salaries are low, within a few years, the growth is tremendous for skilled engineers

The entry level salaries for Automation engineers are between Rs. 8000 to 10,000. 2 years of experience fetches between Rs.18,000 to 26,000. After 5 years, the industry is willing to offer salaries between 50,000 and 70,000
