🌟 Opening Our Doors to Future Leaders in Dairy Automation 🌟 This week, we had the pleasure of welcoming students from Wintec's Dairy Diploma course to CTEK for a visit. The group brought a wide range of experience – from operators working in cheese, powder, butter, and warehouse operations, through to supervisors, engineers, managers, and lab staff. What they all share is a drive to understand how automation underpins the future of the dairy industry. At CTEK, we were able to give the students a behind-the-scenes look at: ✅ Who we are and how we support the dairy sector ✅ How automation projects are approached – from FDs, coding standards, and working with clients/contractors ✅ A hands-on demonstration of HMI operation and alarm handling ✅ The future of automation and where the industry is heading The visit wasn’t just about theory – the students had the chance to explore our simulation setups, see how process alarms and variables are visualised, and gain a practical feel for what they had covered in class (sensors, PID loops, PLC/HMI relationships). A big thank you to the course tutor and the students for making the visit engaging and full of great questions. We look forward to continuing to support the next generation of dairy professionals as they grow their knowledge and skills. #Automation #DairyIndustry #FutureLeaders #IndustrialAutomation #CTEK
