Maintenance engineers ready for the future
On March 7, 2023, the first batch of maintenance engineers from Tata Steel, Facta and GWOC passed the Smart Maintenance Masterclass. This unique master class in the IJmond region prepares maintenance engineers for the future. The form of the master class is tailored to the preferences of the mechanics: lots of practical situations, little theory and no classes.
Together with and at the request of the Techport companies, the Nova College, Techport and maintenance firms have developed a refresher course for (MBO) mechanics. This will strengthen the knowledge and skills on the shop floor in the field of smart and predictive maintenance. Applying smart technologies such as the Internet of Things, sensor technology, advanced analytics and machine learning in maintenance processes makes it possible to predict the wear behavior of installations, prevent unexpected failures and extend the lifespan of factories. So by incorporating smart maintenance, you can produce more energy efficiently. Manufacturers, suppliers, educational institutions and Techport have formed a consortium to develop a series of master classes for existing (maintenance) employees for this purpose. The training will be secured in the existing offer of ROC Nova College.
Masterclass
The master class is 16 to 18 day parts and the daily practice is central. Therefore, the training series consists not only of theory, but practical situations are the classroom, whether or not simulated using augmented reality. Among other things, the training uses the pilot plant of Techport's Fieldlab Smart Maintenance. The master class is designed so that parts of it can also be used for retraining and further training.
The new master class will start from April 1, 2023. Good to know is that each participant can use €1000,- STAP subsidy for this Masterclass. Would you like more information about the masterclass? Look here or contact Edward Straus(estraus@novacollege.nl).
