From the Training Center to the Factory Floor: Insights from Tim Wilborne

In our industry, the learning never stops. I’m Tim Wilborne, and I started TW Controls with my wife, Amber, to help technicians bridge the gap between classroom theory and the reality of the factory floor. What started as a few simple videos has grown into a community of over 100,000 technicians on YouTube who look to us for practical, no-nonsense training.

While our online courses build specific technical skills, this blog is where I share the personal challenges and opinions that don't always fit into a lesson. Not just the "how-to," but the "why" behind the work.

Success in automation comes down to solving the problem in front of you. Think of this as a resource to help you stay sharp and handle whatever the floor throws at you next. If you see something here that sparks a question, don't hesitate to reach out—we’re all in this together.
