About NodeX
Practical engineering for a more automated future.
NodeX is a Rwanda-based industrial automation training and engineering company focused on helping students, technicians, engineers and organisations understand, design and apply modern control systems.
Our learning approach follows the complete automation chain: sensors collect information, controllers make decisions, and actuators perform the physical work. Every course connects theory to simulation, hardware and an integrated project.
- Mission: make industrial automation skills practical, accessible and relevant to real workplaces.
- Method: explain clearly, demonstrate visually, practise repeatedly and finish with a working system.
- Direction: grow from professional training into engineering services, registration systems and a complete online learning portal.

Practical outcomes
Build systems you can explain, test and improve.
The NodeX approach turns lessons into working automation scenarios that demonstrate control logic, communication and operator interaction.
Integrated project
Automated colour-sorting system
Sensors identify products, PLC logic makes decisions, pneumatic actuators sort items, and HMI/SCADA screens monitor the process.
Motor control
DOL, reversing and star-delta
Design power and control logic with protection, interlocking and safe operating sequences.
PLC application
Traffic-light sequence
Use timers, state logic, safe transitions and interlocks to control an intersection.
Factory I/O
Conveyor with emitter and remover
Map inputs and outputs, count products, detect jams and coordinate a complete conveyor cycle.
Visualisation
Professional HMI and SCADA
Create clear operator screens with alarms, trends, status, security and production information.
How the programme works
A simple path from concept to commissioning.
Understand
Learn the electrical, electronic, networking and control principles behind the system.
Program
Translate requirements into structured PLC logic using industry-standard software.
Visualise
Connect HMI and SCADA screens to tags, alarms, trends and operator commands.
Integrate
Test the full system, diagnose faults, document results and present a working project.
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need before applying.
Engineering students, fresh graduates, technicians and professionals from electrical, electronics, mechatronics, mechanical, networking and related technical fields are welcome.
No. The programme starts from essential automation principles and progresses toward practical PLC, HMI, SCADA and project integration. Basic computer confidence and commitment to practise are important.
You need a laptop computer, availability for online and physical sessions, and enough storage and system capability to run the required automation software. Setup guidance will be shared during onboarding.
Submit your application first. NodeX will contact you with confirmation and the official payment instructions. Do not send money to an unverified number or account.
Yes. NodeX is developing a training portal for course materials, announcements, assignments, progress tracking and future certificate access. The public website and registration process are the first phase.
