Rockwell Automation has introduced a new model for calculating the tangible business value of long-term automation investments that is more comprehensive and accurate than traditional ROI measurements
RSTrainer provides comprehensive instructions on the installation, configuration and use of Rockwell Automation platforms.
There is a unique RSTrainer product each for PLCs, SLCs or ControlLogix.
Each lesson is supplemented with interactive practice exercises to give users a chance to test and apply their knowledge.
Quizzes help students monitor their progress.
The training program allows users to stop and start anywhere, anytime, and automatically tracks completed lessons and quiz scores.
Self-directed computer-based training courses offer the greatest benefits when used in conjunction with traditional classroom training.
For example, to make the most effective use of classroom training, it helps to have all participants at nearly the same level of understanding at the start.
Computer-based training can ensure that all students are on a level playing field and make the classroom experience more beneficial.
RSTrainer also allows employees to review what they have learned without the travel expenses usually associated with classroom refresher training.
When computer-based training programs are used in conjunction with a learning management system, such as RSTrainer 2000 Student Manager, it is possible to track which users have successfully completed courses.
This provides an additional advantage for companies needing a verified record of training courses completed by individual employees.
Rockwell Automation training services cover a wide range of industrial automation, manufacturing software and control systems.
Training can take place at its training centres in Sutton Coldfield or Crewe, or at the customer's own site. Request free introductory details about products from Rockwell Automation ...
