Present were project engineer Marcelo Sant'ana, electronic development engineers Victor Halfeld and Octávio Paschoal, as well as CEO Libânio Souza. Professors, researchers and postgraduate students from LIEC-UFCG took part in the training, as well as automation professionals from Petrobras.

During the training, participants learned about the System302 platform, focused on Foundation Fieldbus technology, and also learned about the theory of the Open Process Automation Standard, starting with definitions of the standard, standards adopted, business models and adoption of the technology, cyber security, and ending with practical operations on the system, using embedded systems, OPC-UA communication, engineering tools, up to the distribution and commissioning of O-PAS control strategies.
