NEIT, Rockwell developing automation lab

EAST GREENWICH – The New England Institute of Technology and Rockwell Automation Inc., are developing a new automation lab in response to the hiring needs of manufacturers.
Douglas H. Sherman, NEIT’s senior vice president and provost, said the lab will be used this fall by students enrolled in the Bachelor of Science degree program in electrical- engineering technology. Students can learn high-tech skills on the latest equipment found in industry.
Rockwell staff and New England Tech faculty worked together to procure the programmable logic controllers, network and drive hardware needed to create six new work stations.
“NEIT’s new automation lab will prepare students to design, operate and maintain advanced manufacturing systems. These systems integrate control and information, enabling customers to connect their enterprise,” said Blake Moret, senior vice president, Rockwell Automation and chairman of the Manufacturing Institute.
