Siemens 2024 Internship Program In Kenya

The education process of industrial automation and integrated systems has multiple levelsof granularity, parallel to the granularity level of the physical automated systems. The lowest granularity level starts at working with individual components, such as sensors, actuators,robots, vision systems, etc. then controlling them with PLCs and drives, and building anetwork of controllers and PLCs in a distributed control system (DCS). Moving up in thegranularity level would be teaching students about industrial communication protocols,integrating Human Machine-Interface (HMI) and building a Supervisory Control and DataAcquisition (SCADA) system. On top of that knowledge comes the implementation ofIndustry 4.0 and industrial internet of things (IIoT). The hands-on experience in such alearning process is crucial, specially working with industrial grade components, and with aneutral approach toward technology, i.e. not focusing on a specific automation supplier.While advanced automated systems are supplied by many vendors, with some digital twin(DT) capabilities, they are mostly a closed box, with very little flexibility to change theunderlying architecture or technology, hindering the maximum benefit of student hands-onexperience. This internship intends to build a simulated changeable automated elevatorsystem and link it to the physical system to create a digital twin (DT). Apply Now
