In this context, starting from September, we will begin organizing seminars and technical training for our customers with Rockwell Automation under the title "Digital Transformation." Additionally, we have designated pilot schools to transfer all our accumulated knowledge. We have provided experimental sets to İnönü Technical and Industrial Vocational High School, Ahi Evran Vocational and Technical Anatolia High School and Rosvita-Timur İmrağ Vocational and Technical Anatolia High School. We will first provide automation training to our teachers." he said. Rockwell Automation has continued to support student education at the Industrial Automation and Motion Control Laboratory at Istanbul Technical University, which it established in 2013.
