Fifth Industrial Automation Conference – 20-22 May, Johannesburg

April 2014 News

This conference will be of interest to any organisation that relies on industrial automation for growth and indeed business survival. Now more than ever before, industrial enterprises and utilities rely on their control systems (scada, DCSs, PLCs, RTUs, and IEDs) to improve their reliability and efficiency. But, these new systems are proving ever vulnerable to security breaches and attacks. Today’s complex and dynamic security environment often requires difficult decisions to be made.

There has been a strong move to the cloud and this is impacting many design and implementation decisions today. Users need to be armed with practical and competent advice in order to make the correct decisions. Tactical, not theoretical, solutions are the key to success here.

Over the two-day conference a myriad of local and international presenters will discuss the latest technologies, trends and challenges in the area of scada, automation and process control. Attention will be focused on the integration of communications protocols, standards and systems into the everyday business processes.
