“The field of automation is continuously emerging, with innovative methodologies, technologies, and practices so, under the support of eACCESS, KEC has successfully installed an Automation Laboratory, fully equipped with Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs), Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems, and integral switchgear components. The primary goal of this laboratory goes beyond the mere execution of experiments for engineering students. It is intended to operate as a valuable resource for our country, facilitating the enhancement of practical knowledge in the field of automation for interested technical manpower.

On 4th Sep, 2023, KEC organized a Workshop on Automation Training Course Development. Prior to the workshop, KEC had drafted an outline of the training course and invited participants from different sectors. During the workshop, 15 participants from industries, academics and service sector actively engaged to strengthen the outline of the training course. The workshop finalized the outline of the training course and discussed potential future collaboration regarding the sustainable use of Automation Laboratory. Now KEC has planned to develop and conduct the professional course very soon.”
