This document provides information about an industrial automation training. It discusses automation and how programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are used to control industrial processes and machines. PLCs offer advantages over traditional wiring like less space, energy, and maintenance needs while providing reliability and flexibility. The document lists some major PLC manufacturers and outlines the typical roles of automation engineers. It also describes related industrial control systems like SCADA for monitoring PLC processes and HMI for operator interfacing.
