Welcome aboard! Looking forward to sharing some more insightful content with all the lovely people out here.

Very nice!

No problem. Any thing I can do to help!

Thanks for watching!

Shift to another position might be the easiest and best solution. Sometimes it feels like a hard shift but if your not getting anywhere it has to be done. I would assume if you can demonstrate your capabilities you should be able to get a position.

Ya those are definitely good ones. And especially if you want to become a programmer.

Awesome. I'm glad you enjoy the content. I'm planning to be there at automate. You going?

Very good mention. A few of the people on my team use fusion and then convert to inventor to do the final drawings. Fusion is super user friendly in comparison.

Ya absolutely. Tim Wilborne has training, Solic PLC, RealPars those are all good sources

Rockwell is definitely the winner in the US, Siemens in other places. But India has less of these two. They generally go for lower budget items

Formats Meaning? Types of applications, PLCs they interface with, etc?

Hi "By 'formats,' I'm referring to the file types or data formats that are commonly used for offsite automation processes. These formats dictate how information is structured and exchanged between different software systems or components involved in the automation workflow. I am curious to know the formats specific to certain applications or equipment in order to automate manufacturing.@@EliteAutomation . Many thanks

Absolutely. Most things are a custom design that is created in a CAD software.

Alot of community colleges offer courses in the exact discipline. You may have better luck with an online course. SolisPLC has one. Tim Wileborn has one. They also have some free stuff on YT.

I don't know too much about esp32. We do have some general videos. What specific are looking for or generally

I'm looking to build automated systems from scratch, and I'd greatly appreciate your help with this endeavor. An ESP32 developer board is essentially an affordable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth-capable computer that you can easily connect components to, making it a great choice for creating automated solutions. These boards are only $5 each. My idea is to combine these small 5V devices with relays and larger components to construct a complete automated production line. While I'm aware that building a Wi-Fi-enabled line with features like an automated concrete mixer and hopper will require more time and effort, I believe it will ultimately save me a significant amount of time and effort in my business. I admit I'm a bit apprehensive about taking the step toward automating various aspects of my business since it's my livelihood, and I'm not a wealthy individual. Moreover, the line is always operating, and making edits to it as "the grandson" in the family company is a huge social and professional risk for me. However, I see the potential benefits in terms of efficiency and productivity. Any guidance or advice on how to get started with this project would be invaluable to me. Thank you for your support!

Thank you!

To calibrate sensors or....?

I recorded 3 videos on the topic! Stay tuned. It may take them a few weeks to get out. Editing team has a pretty big back log.

We really don't do cncs we primarily do robotics and automation

Majority of courses will cover both but it depends on the college and the particular degree. For example food processing automation doesn't generally include robotics. So some schools may have the program tailored towards something like food process automation.

Anything that involves computer programming. Or maybe networking

Python is more used.

If you are already doing programming then the transition should be easy. Programming seems like an easy entry point.

@EliteAutomation I don't program but I want to learn programming and Automation what would you recommend what software to get familiarize?

That’s a good question. I would assume it’s probably the country with the highest wages in general.

Hi, I hope this information helps... College Roadmap for Industrial Automation: Industrial Automation is a dynamic field that blends engineering, technology, and problem-solving skills. Here's a roadmap to guide you through college for a successful career in this exciting field: 1. Choose Your Academic Path: Bachelor's Degree: This is the most common path, offering a strong foundation in core engineering principles. Popular options include: Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering: Provides a solid understanding of mechanics, robotics, and design principles crucial for industrial automation systems. Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering: Focuses on electrical control systems, power distribution, and automation components. Bachelor of Science in Manufacturing Engineering: Offers a blend of mechanical, electrical, and industrial engineering principles with a focus on manufacturing processes and automation integration. Bachelor of Science in Computer Science: Provides programming skills for developing automation software and controlling robots. Associate's Degree: While less common, some community colleges offer associate degrees in automation technology or robotics. These can be stepping stones to a bachelor's degree or directly lead to technician roles in the field. 2. Foundational Courses: Mathematics (Calculus, Linear Algebra, Statistics): Essential for understanding robot kinematics, control systems, and data analysis. Physics (Mechanics, Electricity & Magnetism): Provides the fundamental principles of motion, forces, and electrical systems. Engineering Mechanics (Statics, Dynamics): Focuses on forces, motion, and stability of objects, crucial for robot design and operation. Computer Programming (C++, Python, Java): Enables developing code for robot control, automation software, and data analysis. 3. Core Industrial Automation Courses: Industrial Automation Fundamentals: Introduces concepts like control systems, sensors, actuators, and industrial communication protocols.

Honestly can't advise. We don't really get into that side of things internally.

Think so?

That’s Siemens

Good Point!

Time to get to work my man! If you have time be selective and apply for all the positions you would like to have.

Hi there! You can reach out at: LinkedIn: @malachigreb Email: malachi@eliteautomationusa.com

Ya that's definitely a work around. We just can't advise it lol

Definitely a good one.

Python is definitely an up and coming language in automation. UR robot back end is Python.

Was looking for this very question! I just started learning Python today

Python is the main language for creating SCADA’s in Ignition. So I would definitely recommend it.

@@deviousengineer8398 I am learning ignition and python as well, I’m going to attempt to learn both by using inductive university for ignition and python throigh W3 school. Do you have any other suggestions?

​@@deviousengineer8398what about C++ ?
