Using Circuit Simulation to Simulate Behavior of Electronics Circuits

In a world reliant on lightning-fast access to information, electronic controls, mobile devices, and more, it is perhaps more important than ever that manufacturers ensure that the circuits that drive their products are built efficiently and adhere to industry standards. Since there are many different products coming to market every day, circuit simulation software is vital to ensuring that these key components are manufactured and operate efficiently in a relatively short time frame. 

PLC vs. PAC: Understanding the Differences & Values of Each

In some ways, the phrase, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” is an adage that can be applied to the manufacturing sector, particularly when it comes to the use of programmable logic controllers (or PLCs). Since the 1960’s, PLCs have been used to automate manufacturing processes – and while the PLCs of today dwarf the capabilities from those in operation sixty years ago, many believe that as far as process management is concerned, there is no better solution than a program logic controller.

Dear Companies, Please Send Us Your Job Postings to Share in our Facebook Group!

Providing job placement services to our GBC Technical Training students and graduates has always been a challenge as our students are so broadly distributed! About 90% of them are spread out across North America, and the remaining 10 % are even further away, ranging from the Australian outback to the oil rigs of the North Sea. 

5 Ways Online Technical Training Can Positively Impact your Company’s Bottom-line

Within the last decade, the pace of technological advancement has increased rapidly, changing the way things like factories and transit systems operate. Automation has become a key factor going forward, as machine capability grows. This increased presence creates a skills gap as the necessity to have workers trained in the operation of these machines becomes a pressing need.

PLC's and SCADA: Vulnerabilities and Security Issues

Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) are used in almost all industrial processes and are an integral part of a nations industry and manufacturing infrastructure.  Power grids, water treatment plants and traffic lights are just a few of the parts of infrastructure that are controlled by PLCs.  To monitor these systems a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) interface is used.
