DeltaV OTS is a comprehensive learning programme which takes advantage of Emerson expertise in control systems and process automation.
Developed by Emerson Educational Services experts, the OTS is unique from other training programmes in its emphasis on the total learning experience including professional lesson plans, course materials, delivery, student testing and customisation to match the customers' actual plant operations.
By bringing together all skillfully crafted elements of the programme, Emerson has used its expertise in teaching methodology to ensure a productive learning experience.
DeltaV OTS is built on the Emerson DeltaV Simulate suite of products which enables training simulators to use the identical operator interface and control configuration found in the company's actual control room.
Creating an environment identical to the control room enables operators to learn and gain experience in a safe, controlled environment without risk to plant personnel or operations.
DeltaV OTS is a scaleable solution that can be sized to meet a customer's specific needs.
For customers wanting a customised training solution on a limited budget, Emerson offers a bundled solution called DeltaV OTS Express.
DeltaV OTS Express is an excellent entry point for customers wanting to train operators on control system operation and on selected high priority process units.
The package includes an operator training workstation, a process simulator configured for a specific process unit, and a detailed and customised course curriculum, complete with tests and professional train-the-trainer instruction.
The base OTS offering can be expanded to deliver operator training for plant-wide operations.
In addition to DeltaV OTS, Emerson offers educational solutions for the process industry via classroom training, e-learning courses, and on-site training.
The Emerson Educational Services team provides more than 300 courses and trains more than 20,000 students per year. Request a free brochure from Emerson Process Management ...
