Public Workshops

Hands-on workshops, every month

Small-group, build-it-yourself training in IoT, Digital Twin, AI agents and n8n automation. You leave with something working, not a slide deck. Maximum 10 seats per session, delivered live online or on site by arrangement.

01

Last week of every month

Workshops run on the final five working days of each month, so the dates are easy to plan around.

02

Two alternating tracks

Odd months cover AI & automation, even months cover IoT & Digital Twin. Every workshop runs at least every other month.

03

Ten seats, no more

Small enough that you get help when your build breaks — which is the point of a hands-on day.

04

Build, don't watch

Every session ends with something running that you built yourself and can take back to work.

Track A

AI & Automation

Runs in odd months — September, November, January…

Beginner Half day (09:00–12:30)

n8n Fundamentals: Automate Your Operations

Build real automations in a morning. Triggers, nodes, credentials and error handling — using your own tools, not toy examples.

  • Build and deploy a working automation end to end
  • Connect n8n to APIs, databases and webhooks with stored credentials
  • Handle failure properly — retries, error branches and alerting

Intermediate Half day (13:30–17:00)

LLMs Beyond the Chat Window

Stop pasting into a chat box. Call models from code, get structured output you can rely on, and control cost and latency.

  • Call an LLM API directly and handle its failure modes
  • Get reliable structured output instead of prose you have to parse
  • Use function/tool calling to let a model trigger real actions

Intermediate Full day (09:00–17:00)

Building AI Agents in n8n

Agents that use tools, remember context and take multi-step action — built visually in n8n and running by the end of the day.

  • Build an agent that selects and calls tools to complete a task
  • Add memory so an agent holds context across a conversation
  • Ground an agent on your own documents with a vector store

Advanced Full day (09:00–17:00)

Building Production AI Agents

The code-level day: orchestration, guardrails, human-in-the-loop, evaluation and observability. What separates a demo from a system.

  • Design an agent architecture that fails safely under load
  • Implement approval gates and human-in-the-loop for consequential actions
  • Build an evaluation set so you can tell whether a change helped

Advanced Full day (09:00–17:00)
Runs every month

AI Agents for Industrial Operations

Agents that read live telemetry, reason about asset condition and raise work orders — with the guardrails that safety-critical environments demand.

  • Connect an agent to live time-series telemetry and query it reliably
  • Ground answers on manuals, P&IDs and maintenance history with retrieval
  • Turn a prediction into an action — raising a work order automatically
£795 per seat Next: 29 Sep 2026

Intermediate Full day (09:00–17:00)

Applied AI for Engineers

Practical machine learning for engineering data — anomaly detection, forecasting and edge deployment, on real sensor readings.

  • Frame an engineering problem as a tractable ML problem
  • Build anomaly detection that survives contact with noisy real data
  • Produce a short-horizon forecast and know how far to trust it

Track B

IoT & Digital Twin

Runs in even months — October, December, February…

Advanced Full day (09:00–17:00)

Intermediate Full day (09:00–17:00)

IIoT Foundations

Sensors, LPWAN, MQTT and the industrial protocol stack — how data actually gets from a machine to somewhere useful.

  • Choose sensibly between LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, Wi-Fi and wired options
  • Design an MQTT topic structure you will not regret in a year
  • Bridge OT protocols (OPC-UA, Modbus) into modern data pipelines

Intermediate Full day (09:00–17:00)
Runs every month

IoT & Digital Twin Hands-On Workshop

Connect real sensors, stream live telemetry and leave with a working digital twin. Our flagship build-as-you-learn intensive.

  • Commission a real sensor and get its data flowing
  • Build the pipeline from device to time-series store
  • Bind live values to a 3D model to create a working twin
£695 per seat Next: 27 Oct 2026
See dates & book→
Advanced Full day (09:00–17:00)

Digital Twin Design

Modelling, simulation and keeping a twin synchronised with reality as the asset changes underneath it.

  • Choose an appropriate fidelity level for the decision at hand
  • Design a data model and semantic layer that will still make sense later
  • Build recalibration so the twin tracks the real asset automatically

Executive Half day (09:00–12:30)

IoT & AI Leadership Briefing

For decision-makers: where the value is, what it costs, how to govern it, and how to tell a real proposal from an expensive dashboard.

  • Assess an IoT, twin or AI proposal critically before funding it
  • Understand realistic cost, timeline and payback shapes
  • Put governance and ownership in place before rollout, not after

Client story

From the workshop to a working digital twin

I started with the basics of Digital Twin technology and then had the opportunity to bring this knowledge back to the SustFridge team, where we put it into practice.

Their Digital Twin platform has been very useful for our project, and I look forward to more opportunities to work together in the future.

From a Digital Twin workshop to a live twin of a solar-powered fridge

The project
SustFridge — a solar-powered fridge that uses phase-change material (PCM) as a thermal battery. A collaboration between SERI UKM, the University of Nottingham, PCM Products Ltd and UNDIP.
The training
Hasila attended Synapse Edge Digital Twin training as part of her Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship, then brought it back to the project team.
The result
A working Digital Twin (Model–Shadow–Twin) over a LoRaWAN architecture with M5Stack hardware, combining the solar PV, refrigeration and PCM battery in one live 3D view — monitored, visualised and controlled remotely on the Synapse Edge platform to optimise PV energy use.
  • LoRaWAN
  • M5Stack
  • Grafana
  • Synapse Edge platform
  • Remote control

Need it for a whole team?

Every workshop is also delivered privately — on your site or remotely, at full length, rebuilt around your own systems, stack and data. That is how most of our training is delivered.
