Delegates to a new course being launched in the Middle East region will gain in-depth and practical hands-on experience with the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). To develop the course, HMS Networks has worked in partnership with the Institute of Innovation and Professional Development (IIPD). This is the very first IIoT course to be approved in the United Arab Emirates by the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) and will be further rolled out to Saudi Arabia in the coming months.
Entitled The Industrial Internet of Things with Ewon, this course is based around the Ewon remote connectivity portfolio from HMS Networks, which specializes in Industrial Information and Communication Technology (Industrial ICT). As well as targeting young professionals and graduates, the course provides an invaluable grounding that is also of interest to end users, systems integrators, and asset owners.
“We are enabling the current and next generation of professionals to address the industry's most pressing challenges," stated Danish Subzwari, General Manager of HMS Middle East. "Students will achieve our shared goal of ensuring that the latest IIoT technologies are being adopted. As HMS is celebrating its fourth year of launching our Middle East hub, this strategic collaboration is also a fitting milestone.”
