Technicians employed in the area of industrial electricity/electronics are vital to all industrial operations in our society and are responsible for all phases of electrical/electronic equipment and control systems.

The most common control system currently used in industry is the programmable logic controller. Today's technicians must be knowledgeable in digital and non-digital electronics, production programming, industrial electricity and troubleshooting. The technician must work with blueprints, schematics and various types of test equipment to install and maintain electrical/electronic systems.

Technicians must check for proper operation, see that the equipment is free from electrical faults and "troubleshoot" the equipment in the event of failure.
