DCS

OVERVIEW

It’s getting more and more important for the entrepreneurial success to use the proper components and systems optimally. That is only possible, if all employees, who are working with the technology will be well informed and trained, that is master the equipment and systems.
The Sunlax training range offers you the best prerequisites for operating your plant more efficiently.
In the DCS courses, we provide basic information and solid detailed knowledge about the process control system DCS to both beginners and advanced. Furthermore, all Sunlax courses contain a greatest possible share in practical exercises, so that you can practice intensively and directly at the DCS exercise equipment in small groups.
