ETEK successfully researched, designed, and constructed a Distributed Control System (DCS) training lab for the Electrical Department of Hanoi University of Industry.
The Electrical Department at Hanoi University of Industry offers high-quality programs in electrical engineering and technology, meeting the demand for skilled professionals in the field. With experienced faculty members, the department specializes in various undergraduate and postgraduate disciplines.
Establish a DCS training lab for students to practice after theoretical lessons, providing instructors with visual tools for post-lecture guidance.
Experience visual learning and practical exercises, access new technologies, and produce high-quality, professionally-ready graduates.
Must be a reputable entity with experience in providing equipment and solutions for training labs, ensuring standards are met.
In addition, the university has additional requirements to meet the needs of specialized training, providing practical experiences for students. The lab should be equipped with necessary devices, maintain a safe environment, and provide guidance on safety regulations during learning and practical activities. The training lab should offer a variety of practical exercises, creating a dynamic learning environment that encourages student interaction and problem-solving similar to real-world scenarios.
Upon receiving the requirements, ETEK promptly planned and executed the solution with standard steps: ideation, review, adjustment, solution finalization, and continuous communication with the university to ensure ETEK's compliance with the set requirements.
Identifying the necessary skills for training, the Electrical Department's requirements, the university's needs, and the essential technologies and equipment for the lab. Ensuring that skills and knowledge related to relevant subjects are adequately trained in the lab.
An important stage for collecting feedback from stakeholders. Experts, management teams, and instructors discuss and unify ideas, evaluating to arrive at a common solution.
Based on feedback from the review meetings, the initial plan undergoes adjustments. This may include changing the lab design, adding or removing training elements, and adjusting the budget or schedule. Factors such as physical space, equipment, software, learning materials, and training activities need consideration.
After completing adjustments, the final solution for the DCS training lab is determined. Detailed information about room size and layout, proposed necessary equipment, selection of training software and learning materials, as well as specific training activities and methods, are defined.
The Distributed Control System (DCS) manages a production line, process, or any dynamic system. The control is not centralized in a specific area but distributed across systems controlled by one or more separate controllers. The DCS system is built in the training lab to meet various course requirements. Students, through practical exercises with DCS, experience and interact directly with simulated devices similar to those in food and beverage processing plants, oil and gas industries, water treatment systems, and more – common sectors where Electrical Department graduates find employment.
ETEK's solutions cater to all criteria and content of multiple courses. The training content related to distributed control systems includes:
After numerous continuous meetings with the client to discuss solutions, from ideation, review, adjustment to solution, and design. ETEK, along with its team of professional engineers with years of experience in automation, successfully designed and built the DCS training lab to serve instructors and students at the Electrical Department of Hanoi University of Industry for teaching, learning, and practical applications.
