March 2004 News

Last minute reminder:

The 2004 southern African scada conference takes place at the Eskom Convention Centre, 10 and 11 March 2004 in Johannesburg. The organisers report that interest has been overwhelming.

Those who would benefit from attending would be engineering managers, chief engineers, electrical and instrumentation engineers, plant engineers, automation engineers, electrical engineers and technicians, scada and control engineers and technicians - anyone actively involved with implementing or optimising a scada system.

This two-day conference will cover a selection of case studies and examples of real world working scada systems in the mining, water, electrical and processing industry. It will be an excellent opportunity to network with peers as well as gain significant new information and techniques for the next scada project.
