Automation work and pay around Kochi
Kochi and Ernakulam hold Kerala's largest concentration of process industry: the refinery at Ambalamedu, the fertiliser and chemical plants at Eloor, the shipyard and the port.
Kerala searches tend to say "industrial automation course" rather than "PLC training". The AEP is that kind of course: PLC, SCADA, HMI and drives, in a classroom in Bangalore.
