MICAEL FOR MVP Ever since launching the zenon Academy, we have received a lot of positive feedback from our customers. We were blown away by your activity levels, courses completed, points gathered and certificates collected. But there is one particular zenoneer who caught our eye right from the start. And he kept astonishing us by collecting all available points in record time. So we invited him to speak with us so we can pick his brain for you. Here are some of the things our zenon Academy MVP shared with us.
MODULAR, JUST LIKE ZENON The modular concept allows you to cherry pick. Are you interested in only one particular topic of our Life Sciences course? Simply jump to the module, download the provided project backup and you are ready to go. This way, you can focus on the things that are relevant to you on your learning journey. Once you have gathered all that knowledge, why not show off your zenon expertise? With every quiz you complete in the zenon Plus courses, you collect points. With more points, your zenon certificate level will increase from Basic to Advanced and eventually to Professional. If you wish, you can share your certificates on LinkedIn with the click of a button.

I am a project manager for VA-it Skandinavien AB. We are a supplier-independent company. This means that we work with almost all currently available systems present on the Swedish market for PLC and SCADA/HMI systems. For the most part, we work in the water and wastewater industry. But we are also involved in manufacturing facilities, semiconductor epitaxial wafers and biogas plants. We also work in district heating and electricity production.

MICAEL NILSSON
Project Manager VA-it Skandinavien AB
Let’s get to know you first. Would you please introduce yourself? Micael Nilson: My name is Micael Nilsson, I am 54 years old and live on the island of Öland in Sweden. My wife and I have seven grandchildren and love to travel in Europe, see the sights, eat the local delicacies and enjoy a well-aged malt whiskey.
What are the key aspects of your job? Micael: Today, my workdays consist of configuring SCADA and HMI systems, programming PLCs and designing and implementing communication solutions for connecting external PLCs and other automation products to a central SCADA or HMI. For example, this can be in the form of connecting a municipal wastewater pump station or a monitoring probe placed outside the central plant to an existing SCADA or HMI. How did you find out about the zenon Academy? Micael: Via the COPA-DATA newsroom. I am a frequent visitor there. I think this is a very good place to find information about new and upcoming events and discoveries regarding zenon and the company as a whole.
