Rapid Industrial IoT training | Abhisam IIoT training

Abhisam’s India office is pleased to announce that they are restarting Instructor led Industrial Internet of Things training workshops  from May 2023 (which were paused due to the pandemic). These Industrial IoT training workshops were very popular in India, where several of these were held during the years before the COVID pandemic.

What is IIoT training all about?

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is a relatively new technology that is being adopted rapidly by industries in many sectors all over the world. This is similar to IoT (Internet of Things) but has key differences. IIoT devices must operate reliably in harsh industrial environments, must conform to various standards and be able to securely handle data.

Since 2018, Abhisam has been in the forefront of IIoT training workshops at many places, however due to the COVID pandemic, they were paused. Learn more about Abhisam IIoT training workshops here.

Why attend the Abhisam Rapid IIoT Training workshop?

Currently there are many training providers that basically provide IoT training, but not IIoT training. This workshop is much more than just showing how to interface a Raspberry Pi board with a consumer level sensor. When you attend the Abhisam Rapid IIoT training workshop you will understand how to use this technology in real industrial environments.

When will the next IIoT workshop take place?

The next IIoT workshop will be held in the first or second week of May 2023 in Mumbai (Dates to be announced soon). This will be a Rapid IIoT training workshop, designed for engineers and managers who would like to quickly grasp the technology aspects and also get a hands on feel.

Here’s a video from one of the earlier IIoT  workshops held earlier.

Very soon we will also have an IIoT online training workshop, contact us for details.

Just get this Confined Space Safety e-learning course today and get trained in working safely in confined spaces.

Note that it includes all the knowledge that you need to have to know how to work safely in confined spaces.

Can I not get this information free from elsewhere?

There is a  common myth  “Just Google it”

It is a myth that you can simply Google for Confined Space   information and get everything that you need to know.

Most likely you will get a large number of occupational safety articles and information, some videos, some power point slides, but much of the information may be in bits and pieces.

While you can get some basic information about confined space safety from these sources, it may not be complete. Even if you do find enough material, it will take you a long time to sequence it all together in one coherent document that makes sense to you.

Even after doing all this there is a possibility that you may not get what you really need to know from an OSHA compliance perspective

Plus you will spend several hours of your time doing all this for zero returns on your investment!

On the other hand, when you take this Abhisam Confined Space safety course, you know that

    1.  It is very carefully made, with subject matter experts in the field of Occupational Safety, Process Safety & Industrial operations who have spent decades in the actual field creating permit systems, investigating incidents and streamlining methods to reduce or eliminate confined space safety accidents.
    2. Utilizes easy graphics, animations and simulations, real life examples of dos and donts, correct and incorrect practices  that enable you to understand everything easily.
    3.  Earn a Certificate when you pass the associated exam and also get an electronic badge that can be displayed online on places such as LinkedIn. Get Noticed.

Can I not simply buy a book? That will be much cheaper!

Of course, you could always pass this up and decide to go for  buy a book on this topic,

but,

remember that there are some disadvantages with this approach

    1.  The first is that not a single book is available  that covers all the topics that you need to know. On the other hand, there will be many books on general workplace safety, occupational safety, permit systems, that may be relevant to only those working in normal workplaces, not those having confined spaces.
    2.  Some of these books may be outdated and obsolete.
    3.  Nobody gives you a certificate if you simply read a book!
