PI Administration Training [Remote]
Objective:
The three-day PI administrator training is aimed at users and IT managers who (in future) will administer the PI system in their company and who may be available to answer users' administrative questions.
You will learn how to set up the PI Data Archive and how to administer the PI system in order to create PI Points and configure new PI interfaces. This will enable them to manage the daily tasks of maintaining and expanding the PI system.
Methodology:
Our trainers, who themselves perform the tasks of a PI administrator on a daily basis, demonstrate and teach everything necessary to master everyday life with a PI system with confidence.
The focus is not only on navigating the system, but also on the question: "A problem has occured. What now?"
With the help of our trainers' experience, participants receive tips and tricks for preventing problems, as well as their own first aid kit to solve them independently in an emergency.
Your benefit:
With the acquired knowledge, participants will be able to manage the daily tasks of maintaining and expanding the PI system and thus support their company and its users in administrative activities, take preventive measures and act independently when problems occur.
After successful participation, we issue a certificate as proof of the knowledge acquired.
Requirements:
Knowledge of system administration
