Invensys X-Change 2013: empower your personnel

March 2013 News

X-Change 2013 will focus on how Invensys can help empower your operational and business personnel to excel through the use of innovative technology. The conference is a definitive window to the industrial automation and information landscape and brings together more industry professionals than any other event of its kind in southern Africa. System integrators, hardware and software suppliers, end-users and international industrial automation authorities come together to X-Change ideas and collaborate at what is widely regarded as South Africa’s premier industrial event.

Celebrating the conference’s 21st anniversary, X-Change 2013 will be held from 21-24 April at Sun City and promises, once again, to add great value to the lives of industrial automation professionals. The presentation streams have been designed to highlight and address the information needs of executives, system engineers, production managers, plant managers and engineers involved in the mining and manufacturing industries. That is because they all need different information in the right context and at the right time – all the time.

The contents of the presentations range from technical to more business-oriented and delegates will be able to choose those best suited to their current operational or business needs. The themes include the following:

* Technology stream.

* Solutions stream.

* Vertical industry stream.

* Invensys Operations Management stream.

* User presentations stream.

Invensys Operations Management Open

One of the most valuable ways to assess a product and its suitability is to speak to the people who use it. The Invensys Operations Management Open was introduced to encourage both end users and system integrators to document their experiences of successful implementations using Invensys Wonderware solutions. These are customers who have used the products extensively and their first hand experiences offer insights not available from any other source.

All user presentations are entered into the Invensys Operations Management Open competition where prizes are awarded for the best presentations in various categories such as best Scada/HMI, MES, EMI or Enterprise Integration implementation. The presentations are then documented in the form of articles and, after approval, sent to various magazines for publication. These articles also appear on the Invensys Wonderware website and bi-monthly Protocol magazine as well as Invensys Operations Management’s annual international booklet of success stories.

Delegates whose presentations are accepted for X-Change automatically qualify to attend the conference free of charge.
