April 18, 2018 - Georgian College engineering technology students now have real-world equipment thanks to a gift from Omron Automation Americas. Omron is also donating software and providing training to faculty so they can enhance their skills on and knowledge of the equipment.
Georgian College students will be able to put their knowledge into practice by using a new set of programmable logic controllers (PLCs) to simulate assembly line production in one of the college’s electrical labs.
In addition to their contribution to labs and classrooms, Omron has also partnered with Georgian College’s Centre for Applied Research and Innovation to help a food and beverage client improve its manufacturing process with electrical and mechanical capabilities.
