TeChnical operator
Training and certification
Technical operator level 1 (TO1)
Objective
Learners will develop the ability to successfully connect hardware components, configure wireless networks, and perform accurate weight calibrations.
Key transferable skills:
- Basic hardware setup and connectivity.
- Wi-Fi configuration and device synchronization.
- Data interpretation and attention to detail for calibration tasks.
Online training
Focus: Learning the theoretical and practical steps needed for hardware setup and network connectivity.
Transferable skills:
1. Wiring and Hardware Setup:
- Understanding how to connect the C-Go box to the C-Go ONE kiln.
- Checking the databox is sufficiently charged.
- Developing problem-solving abilities for physical device connections.
2. Wi-Fi Networking:
- Connecting the phone to the box via Wi-Fi (‘WAP’).
- Understanding the difference between direct phone-to-data-box Wi-Fi connections (‘WAP’) and internet-based Wi-Fi.
3. Confirming Kiln is Ready to Operate:
- Understanding the process of calibrating the kiln and the reason for this process.
- Using the data captured during calibration setup to confirm that the kiln is ready to operate.
- Understanding the significance of giving the instruction to operate the kiln and the person(s) to whom that instruction is given
4. Confirming Process is ready to be terminated by quenching
- Using data captured during operation to guide the process and confirm readiness to commence quench.
- Understanding the significance of the data and its relevance to the operation.
5. Working as a Team
- Engaging with other team members to ensure the correct and safe system of work and communicating information to others clearly and accurately.
Practical exam
Focus: Demonstrating the ability to apply learned skills (listed in point 1-5 in under online training) in real-world or simulated conditions.
Transferable skills:
1. Photography for Documentation
- Taking accurate weight calibration photos.
- Ensuring clarity and precision in technical documentation through photos.
2. Data Interpretation:
- Identifying and analyzing the correct numbers for weight calibration.
- Using the data to confirm the kiln is correctly wired up, calibrated and ready to operate.
3. Process guidance from monitoring data:
- Monitoring kiln operation to guide consistent processes of loading and readiness to quench.
- Identifying causes of data capture failure such as loose or broken wires, loose plugs or other settings.
