SMEClabs was started as a research and development wing of SMEC Automation Pvt. Ltd. in

early 2001. The main objective of this division was to cater to the research requirements of

the parent company, incorporating the latest in technological advances. In a short while it

evolved further to encompass the training of SMEC service engineers and technicians to

empower them to implement more efficient and advanced installations worldwide.

In due course of time, the doors were opened to experienced individuals

with technical backgrounds, who were interested in pursuing the

demanding profession of performing error-free instrumentation related

installations and service jobs.

Up until recently the minimum qualification to be trained at this facility

was 2 years of experience in a related field. Keeping in view the demands

of the present industry standards and the huge demand for qualified

automation engineers worldwide, SMEClabs now provides training for

B.Tech and Diploma students. The training is imparted in a way that is both

time-effective and efficient, allowing the fresh graduates to have a smooth

transition from theory to actual real life practice.

The last decade has seen phenomenal

advances in technology, particularly in

instrumentation related fields. Protocols

used for communication become more

advanced with each passing year and so

do most of the control equipment.

Keeping abreast of the changes as they

happen is the basis, motivating the team

that works here.

FACILITIES

Emphasis on practical oriented trainingIn addition to enhancing theoretical knowledge, at the labs we stress mainly onexposing students to real-world systems. This enables them to appreciate and fully

understand the complexities involved in operating real systems.

Grass-root level approachSMEClabs engineers follow an easy to understand approach to training. This means

that students do not require any previous knowledge of the automation field as all

the basics are covered in detail.

A team of experienced engineers form the facultyAll the engineers that are entrusted with the responsibility of training are Sr. Service

Engineers having 2-8 years of on-site experience in the related fields. The classroom

environment is friendly and fully interactive.

Training oriented for both marine and industrial automation fieldsThe training provided by us is not limited to industrial or marine fields alone - the

student will learn systems applicable in both industries.

Ongoing projects involvementSMEClabs is the also the development centre for SMEC Automation, here the

Engineers plan, draft and execute industrial projects. Students studying at SMEClabs

will be involved in such ongoing projects to get a feel for the real working

environment.

Includes Industrial visitsStudents will be taken for industrial visits in and around Kerala to industries that

have implemented the systems under study. Typical systems covered are Auto

Mains Failure (AMF) systems, Pump Control systems, Power control systems etc.

Please Note : Visits are possible provided we have nearby projects at that time

Individual attention to each studentWe understand the importance of providing individual attention to each student. The

course continues at a pace that is comfortable for the student.

Students learn on actual PLCs rather than software simulatorsWe have a large number of PLCs on which the students can gain hands-on experience

directly, removing any need for software based simulators.

Personal development trainingWe offer disciplined personal development training after successful completion of the

course, to enhance the students future opportunities further.

State of the art lab facilitiesStudents learn PLCs that are preferred by all the industry majors. This ensures that

the skills attained will always be beneficial irrespective of the organization where you

are placed.

Q & A

After all, what is a PLC?

Programmable Logic Controllers, used extensively

throughout the industry worldwide, the PLC

controls much of our daily lives, from Food &

Drink manufacture, Oil, Rail, Nuclear, Airports,

Traffic management and many more.

For example all the processes on a typical oil rig

are centrally controlled by a PLC system, which

acts as the central decision maker for the whole

process.

And SCADA?

Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition. This is a

computer based system that provides valuable

production information in real time.

A SCADA system consists of one or more PC based

terminals networked to a PLC or several PLCs

throughout the installation. Data from the

process is gathered from the PLCs and displayed

graphically on the SCADA terminals. This helps to

see remotely the whole operation from a more

convenient location like a control room. For

example, an operator in an automobile assembly

plant need not control or supervise the engine

testing facility by being physically present there.

He can rather use a SCADA system in the control

room, from which he can simultaneously operatethe whole factory.

What about an HMI?

HMI stands for Human Machine Interface. This is an

operator touch screen that graphically represents a process

that a PLC controls.

The operator can both view and interact with the processthrough this terminal screen. For example a navigational

panel used by the second officer on board a ship is usually an

HMI system.

What is meant by PLC Communication?

Communication happens between PLCs, SCADA systems,

HMI systems, servo motors, actuators, indicators and other

related devices used in the field through various protocols

suited for these devices.

Learn to configure these interconnections and the protocols

used in their communication.

Whats the big deal about PLC Ladder

Programming?

Ladder programming was developed in the early 70s and

was based upon electrical schematics that electrical

engineers were familiar with. It is extremely efficient and

useful for all circuit analysis and is the backbone of all PLC

systems.

It is useful in PLCs as it is easy to modify and removes the

need of physically rewiring connections in case of minor or

even major overhauls in an industry.

Do you provide Placement assistance?

As our parent company has been installing and servicing

almost all types of industries for the last decade. Hence we

are in a position to assist the students in procuring

engineering jobs in both industrial and marine field.
