Training
In order to get optimal benefits out of the monitoring system, operators, system administrators and maintenance persons need to be adequately trained. Our service engineer instructors are ISO 18436-2 certified, and provide a world class training for systems and monitoring techniques.
Workshops are designed for maximum online 'live' interaction with a rotor kit. Many courses can betailored to your specific industry, application, or machinery; even training material can be customized according to needs.
We provide training for all levels and purposes in machine monitoring, from beginner to expert. Our aim is to build up the competence of each participant so they can confidently and successfully perform their expected monitoring tasks.
