Implementing modern networking technologies in industrial environments is crucial for enabling smart automation, facilitating real-time data-driven decision-making, and enhancing operational efficiency and flexibility.
This beginner-friendly course equips you with the foundational knowledge and skills needed to implement and manage networking in industrial settings. You'll start by understanding the requirements of modern industrial architectures, including smart technologies and data analytics. Interactive modules cover essential networking components such as devices, media types, and common protocols used in Operational Technologies (OT). Analyze real-world scenarios to see how these elements connect and support Industrial Automation and Control Systems (IACS) and Smart Grid Networks.
Finally, put your newfound skills to the test with 22 activities in Cisco Packet Tracer, like building a simple, simulated Industrial Automation Control Systems (IACS) network using Cisco devices, configuring a substation network, and creating a LAN (Local Area Network). Get started today and gain the job-ready skills you need to kickstart a career in OT!
Recommended Preparation:
While not mandatory, it is recommended to have basic computer skills and familiarity with operating systems, internet usage, industrial components such as Programmable Logic Controller (PLC).
