How you'll learn
100% online training on the SEIUM Institute campus, with downloadable materials, recorded classes and an assigned technical tutor. There are no fixed timetables: students progress at their own pace within the intake, which makes it possible to combine the programme with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is Grafana, Apache Kafka, InfluxDB, Power BI, Ignition, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Tests are studied using real procedures for real-time OEE dashboards, anomaly detection in plant data streams and operational visualisation on workshop displays. Assessment is continuous across each module, plus the final integrating project.
Build it end to end
Your final project follows the real engineering workflow, step by step, reviewed by your tutor.
Design real-time operational data architectures.
Process data streams using windows and aggregations.
Apply visual design principles to operational dashboards.
Use industrial visualisation tools.
Detect anomalies and trends in real time.
Where this takes you
