Industrial Data OpsCourse Launching Soon
Van Excel naar Grip

From Zero to Hero in Industrial Data Engineering

For engineers who aren't programmers — but want to build it themselves. 14 modules, 143 micro-learnings, one certification.

Is This You?

This program is built for one specific person:

Richard — Plant Engineer

Van Excel naar Grip

45 years old, utility plant. 20 years of operations experience. Never wrote a line of code. Frustrated with Excel chaos, Aspentech/PI licenses (€125K-€180K/year), and no overview of the whole picture.

Plant engineer, OT specialist, or operations manager

Stuck with Excel, expensive licenses, and manual processes

Centralise plant data and eliminate the Excel chaos

"I'm not a programmer — where do I even start?"

Saving €125K-€180K/year in licenses after completing the program

Marco — PLC/SCADA Engineer

Van Silo naar Centraal

38 years old, system integrator. Works with Siemens, Allen-Bradley and Beckhoff. Wants to build a reusable data-integration framework he can offer as a premium service.

PLC programmer, SCADA engineer, or OT system integrator

Every client is a one-off, no reusable framework, vendor lock-in

Build a repeatable platform he can deploy at any client

"Will customers pay for this instead of Wonderware?"

Earning €47.5K-€95K/year more with premium integration services
