Training
So your own people can run it
An OT engineer gets from cabling to a live value without a Linux course. Training covers what comes after: naming a plant so it scales, choosing what to keep, and knowing what to do when something goes wrong.
What we teach
Three courses
Each builds on the one before. Most sites only need the first.
Online, half a day
Getting started
For the person who will connect the first line. Cabling and the two networks, the install wizard, adding a driver, and reading a first live value out of the name space. Nobody needs Linux, and nobody touches a command line.
One or two people from one site
Online, two half days
Going further
The name space as a design decision rather than a setting: how to name a plant so the second line costs nothing to add. Storage tiers and what a fortnight of data really costs. Users, roles, backups, and what happens on the day something fails.
Engineers who will own the platform
On site, two days
On your own machines
The same ground, on your lines, with your protocols and your naming. We connect real equipment together and leave you with a plant that is already modelled — and with the awkward questions your equipment raises answered rather than deferred.
A team, and their own hardware
The hour that pays for the day
Naming a plant so the second line is free
Every value on the platform has one name, and the shape of that name is a decision somebody makes once. Made well, adding line four is typing a word. Made badly, it is a migration.
What an app reads, a dashboard charts and a report queries. The five levels are the interface every app on the machine sees — getting them right is most of “Going further”.
Who comes
Who it is for
The same three people the platform is built for, and they want different things from a day.
The OT engineer
Knows the machines, does not want to become a software team. Leaves able to add a line without asking anybody.
The system integrator
Will do this for twenty customers. Leaves with a way of naming a plant that the twenty-first will not have to unpick.
The machine builder
Ships equipment into somebody else’s factory. Leaves knowing what their machine should publish, and how to put an app in front of it.
Practical
Price, dates and language
Arranged with you, per plant.

How many lines, which controllers, and what you want out of it. We will tell you which course fits — or that you do not need one.
