Jeddah, Saudi Arabia - Tuesday, April 3rd 2012 [ME NewsWire]

ASM, a leading Saudi Arabia-based process automation specialist, has received full accreditation from the Middle East chapter of PI, the largest automation community in the world, to establish an accredited training centre for "PROFIBUS",the world's leading industrial automation technology. This is the first accredited PROFIBUS training center in the Middle East.

ASM, which began working within the Saudi market in 2007, is specialized in automated control systems for buildings and factories through the use of the "PROFIBUS" system, and is the only company to possess a specialized training centre for the PROFIBUS system.

“ASM has the full capacity and capabilities to organize training courses for clients on their own sites and for all personnel,” said Engineer Ali Magboul, General Manager of ASM.

Maqboul remarked that the company's own training centre will provide Saudi youth with opportunities to receive specialized training on the operation of the "PROFIBUS" system within Saudi Arabia. This, he added, will afford Saudi youth with easy access to affordable training and will save them the hassle and additional costs of travelling abroad.

“ASM is proud to be offering ambitious and talented Saudi youth the opportunity to partake in training courses that are globally recognized and meet the highest standards of technological innovation. The centre with its advanced training courses will facilitate the process of nationalizing technology and broadening the base of its users,” Magboul said.

Maqboul announced that the first ASM Saudi Arabian PROFIBUS training course will take place in May 2012.  The four-day course will be provided by Saudi Trainer Ammar Atta, who will train the participants on how to use and manage the "PROFIBUS" system.  All participants who pass the training exam will receive a 'Certified Engineer' certificate; the training course and its certificate are recognized worldwide.

PROFIBUS is the world's leading system that provides cost saving solutions through factory automation and process automation mechanisms that also guarantee safety, production effectiveness and efficiency, and motion control coverage. The PROFIBUS approach produces significant cost savings in design, installation, and maintenance expenses compared to the traditional systems.
