Industrial Control Systems, Inc. (ICS) provides hands-on training programs for operators, maintenance technicians, and engineers at manufacturing facilities across the United States. Properly trained staff operate equipment more efficiently, troubleshoot problems faster, and maintain systems proactively, reducing downtime and maximizing your automation investment.
We train your operators on the specific HMI screens, control sequences, and procedures for your production equipment. Training covers normal startup and shutdown procedures, recipe management, alarm response, manual override operations, and quality checkpoints. Operators leave training confident in their ability to run the equipment safely and efficiently.
Our maintenance training goes deeper into the control system architecture so your technicians can diagnose and resolve common issues without calling for outside support. Topics include PLC fault code interpretation, I/O troubleshooting, network diagnostics, drive parameter adjustment, and preventive maintenance procedures. We provide system-specific documentation your maintenance team can reference after training.
For facilities that want in-house programming capability, ICS offers PLC programming training on Allen-Bradley (Studio 5000/RSLogix), Siemens (TIA Portal), and other major platforms. Training covers ladder logic, structured text, function block programming, data handling, communication setup, and project organization best practices.
We train your engineering staff on SCADA platforms including Ignition by Inductive Automation, FactoryTalk View, and AVEVA. Training covers screen navigation, trend analysis, report generation, alarm management, database queries, and basic system administration so your team can make day-to-day modifications without outside help.
Training is delivered on-site at your facility using your actual equipment, which provides the most relevant learning experience. We also offer classroom-style training at our Joplin facility for topics that benefit from a dedicated learning environment. All training includes written materials, reference guides, and follow-up support.
