Although the recession had impacted the market to some extent, the country had adapted well to the situation. PLCs, SCADA and DCS will define the automation market soon. The country looks forward to the complete implementation of Asean Free Trade Agreement (AFTA), which will give preferential access into the larger market of ASEAN with a population of 530 million. Moreover, it will provide a wider base for competitive sourcing of raw materials from countries in the region and a broad spectrum of companies to engage with in business. The proliferation of opportunities to cooperate and collaborate with ASEAN partners would enable participants in this space to tap both the regional and global markets, notes the analyst of this research service. Since most major organizations have offices in Malaysia, no significant cost would be incurred while gaining access to the Malaysian markets. Although smaller participants are likely to be negatively impacted, the market will register growth.

THE VALUE TO THE INDUSTRY

PLCs are evolving and continue to be the best option for a variety of industrial automation applications. Greater programming flexibility and ease, scalability, more memory, smaller sizes, very high-speed (Gigabit) Ethernet, and built-in wireless are among evolving programmable logic controller features.

Today, over 98% of industries use automated machines in their production processes. Be it Oil and Gas, Marine, Packaging, Petrochemical, Food and Beverages, Pharmaceutical, Mines, Machine Shops, Telecommunications, Engineering services, Rolling Mills, Power or Agriculture, all automate their machines to produce more, consistently, quickly and efficiently through the use of the Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC).The PLCs serve as the hearts of these machines and allow them to be automatically controlled, operated and monitored. A PLC is used for control of industrial machines and process installations to improve production efficiency, safety, and output. The PLC was designed mainly for this purpose and offers possibility of a flexible configuration by means of hardware and software to be adapted to the machine or process which needs to be controlled. To be relevant in today’s industrial setting, the knowledge of PLC is a must for all technical personnel. To confidently work with automated industrial machines, today’s workforce must therefore acquire skills in programming, operation and troubleshooting of PLC systems

WHY PLC IS CRUCIAL

PLC or Programmable Logic Controller is the system that makes machinery and systems work automatically. This system is  responsible for all the growth in industry, manufacturing process, and even entertainment. Without such system, Transportation, manufacturing to amusement rides or movie making process can’t be done. PLCs are used in industrial automation to  increase reliability, system stability and performance, minimizing the need for human operators and the chances of human error.

THE PROGRAMME

This “learn-by-doing’’ training focuses extensively on Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) operation, wiring, programming, and troubleshooting. Lab exercises cover heavy hands-on practice on field devices, input/output modules, wiring, and processor programming leading to in-depth knowledge of troubleshooting and maintenance of automated machines. All lab exercises are implemented and simulated with the aid of live field devices and a PLC trainer. The exercises are applicable to motor control, process control, level control, safety interlocking etc. as used in the industry. Our course materials are presented with a good balance of theory lecture and hands-on practice

CERTIFICATION BODY

The Cyber Security and Information Technology (CIIT) market presence, be it among the practitioners or manufacturers is highly volatile, constantly evolving and progressing at such an exponential rate of development, innovation and advancement. Therefore, if CTOs, CSOs, CISOs, IT Managers, Cyber Managers, IT Directors, Information Risk Directors and Cyber/Information Technology Consultants and practising Professional do not keep in tap or remain within the pace of changes and development they then would become obsolete or redundant within their own organisation and therein cripple the existence and survival of their organisation to the onslaughts and offensive penetration of the dark and deep web perpetrators.

Likewise businesses will have to adopt and adapt to the fast pace changes and unpredictability of impulsive threats. Organisations need to be constantly vibrant and robust enough to withstand the unscrupulous and crooked radicals who are out there to paralyse the operational functionality of the Information technology of the company and deceitfully siphon information and critical data via the organisation’s cyber security loopholes and gaps.

As such, Cyber Security and Information Technology (CIIT) becomes a vital and critical component of the business facet. It is a very domineering and imperative business issue for all companies, corporations and government agencies today irrespective of the size or volume of business. Cyber criminals and delinquents are sprouting any and everywhere. Their embryonic destructive activities are bringing organisations to their knees for answers to counter and thwart the offensive cyber and IT threats.

Therefore CIITnet acts as the gateway as well as gatekeeper for Cyber Security Intelligence and Information Technology parameters, fraternity, practitioners as well as the organisations to which they represent. CIITnet is the very engine which will propel the mechanics and net web of the Cyber Security Intelligence and Information Technology agenda, driving the essence of Cyber Intelligence to the front and push the issues right to the top of concerns among the professionals who make the decision to drive the robust pathway of the Information Technology charter, framework, imprints and support network of the organisation.

CIITnet’s origin was initially a conceptualisation among a few out of the box thinking Cyber Intelligence and Information Technology nerds whose eagerness and carving to “fight the devils” in the cyber world lead them to turn their concepts to formalise an entity to pin in their huge craving for a change in the approach to the battle and war against cyber and IT crime. The aim was a yearning to get the entire circle of CTOs, CSOs, CISOs, IT Managers, Cyber Managers, IT Directors, Cyber/Information Technology Consultants, Information Risk Directors as well as any and everyone who touch base with the cyber and IT world to get into a network of collaboration.

The intent was to nurture, develop and encourage a cohesive effort of merging everyone’s thinking and practicalities to build a defence so strong that criminals and attackers can no more try to be in the front but lack behind on their possibilities to thwart the strength which can be built up by being together and working hand in hand to push the culprits beyond the cliff.

This steered the nerds and geeks to converge and form a group among themselves and cracked their brains to find the right alchemy and transformation for cyber intelligence and information technology. The resultant which came to reality today is the Board of Eminence, spearhead by one in prominence and come out of the anonymity and namelessness and formed CIITnet and began to bring recognizability to this network. Today, CIITnet has become alive as an authentic entity and the ordinariness is a foregone thought and the distinctiveness, significance and worth as an organisation is gaining momentum among the professionals and practitioners around the world.

Yes, the drive and thrust is gaining fast traction for CIITnet. Simultaneously, the passion and desire to bring it to a worldwide recognition is definitely the ultimate mission of the CIITnet Board of Eminence whose vision is beyond the horizon. The rage to winning the war against cyber and IT crime is so great that the propulsion of CIITnet will not just be a murmur in the customary normal stratum but a big bang among Cyber Intelligence and Information Technology professionals and practitioners. CIITnet is manifesting its presence internationally as it is already making signs and signals of it.
