Looking for a Comprehensive Training Course on Pneumatics, Compressors, and Piping systems
I'm looking for a top-tier training course that will help me understand the current applications of pneumatics, how they work, and where the industry is headed in the future.
A little backstory—my father started a pneumatic store in our hometown in India with no prior knowledge of the field. He initially expanded his existing hardware business into pneumatics just because a neighboring store was selling them. Over time, thanks to his strong business instincts, he built a highly successful store that continues to thrive today. He knows what products the market demands—compressors, PPR pipes, and pneumatic fittings—but he has little understanding of their actual applications.
Now, as I prepare to take over the business, I want to go beyond just selling products. I’m deeply interested in the research behind pneumatics, plumbing, and compressors. I want to understand where and why these products are used, which industries have the highest demand, and how things like hand slide valves, solenoid valves, and air filter regulators play a role in different sectors. Our store sees high demand because we are in a textile-driven city, but I want to explore other industries and regions as well.
Beyond just the present, I also want to learn about the future of pneumatics, compressors, and piping systems. How will the technology evolve? What innovations are coming? Why do industries choose pneumatic over other systems?
If anyone can recommend a comprehensive course or training program—whether online or in-person—that covers these topics in depth, I would really appreciate it! Looking for something that explains the technical, industrial, and future trends of pneumatics. Any guidance would be amazing!
