IR 4.0 Ready : New Automation Tools, New Certifications!

FTKEE UMPSA excited to announce that the Automation Group team has successfully attended the Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) for a brand-new set of automation tools and training kits self designed by our very own instructor and materialized through collaboration with our appointed contractor. These systems will soon be fully installed in our faculty’s lab!

The lab upgrade features Omron NX Series PLCs supporting EtherNet/IP, IO Link, Modbus TCP/IP, and Modbus RTU, allowing students to dive deep into real industrial communication protocols. Students will also explore Factory IO for realistic industrial simulation and Advantech SCADA for advanced monitoring and visualization tasks.

With 43 complete sets being delivered, students will benefit from 1 to 1 practical exposure to these tools during their training.
Adding even more value, our program now includes a Competency Certification Program endorsed by Omron Certified Trainers, with certificates issued directly by Omron Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. boosting our students' credentials with recognized industry certification.
This is a huge step forward in our commitment to producing industry ready graduates equipped with IR 4.0 skills!
