The Industrial Revolution 4.0 has had a comprehensive, profound, and rapid impact on all areas of social life, including education and training. In response to this trend, the Programme Reform of TVET in Vietnam (TVET Programme) – GIZ has partnered with LILAMA 2 International Technology College (LILAMA 2) to organize a further training course for LILAMA 2 teachers in the fields of Mechatronics and Industrial Electronics Occupation – “HMI/ SCADA System Designing and SIMATIC IOT 2050 Intelligent Gateway applied in the industry ” from June 20th, 2022, to July 01st, 2022. The objective of this training course was to boost the teachers’ capacity and understanding of the contents connected to digital technology, as well as to prepare for significant changes to address the market’s requirements in the near future.
In this training course, LILAMA 2 teachers received training in a variety of Industry 4.0-related topics, such as using TIA Portal software with tools to design a control system and monitor data in manufacturing; using the Smart Service tool on the HMI KTP 700 Basic screen; using tools to install software and configure SIMATIC; and programming Node-red to collect data from production systems to IoT2050 and vice versa. In addition, the teachers are also aware of the role and function of SIMATIC IOT2050 in relation to industrial IoT applications.
After completing the course, the teachers could install, program and set up a SIMATIC IOT2050 application automation system, allowing remote management and supervision via the Internet. In addition, they could also apply operation and monitoring through the HMI/SCADA system, creating convenience and high efficiency for users.
The further training course was held within the component “Supporting High-Quality TVET Institutes” as part of the Vietnamese- German Programme “Reform of TVET in Viet Nam”. The programme is financed by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), implemented by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) together with the Vietnamese Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs (MoLISA).
