September 2017 News

Wonderware Southern Africa has announced that system integrator partner Iritron has achieved Wonderware Endorsed System Integrator (ESI) status.

Located in Pretoria, Iritron has an extensive track record in the fields of plant automation, simulation, optimisation and information systems. The company’s engineering expertise is extensive in these fields, focusing mainly on, but not limited to, mining and mineral processing and related industries, food and beverage, as well as the water and wastewater industries.

“Iritron has an in-depth understanding of the domains and cultures of its clients and can point to many success stories proving its ability to manage projects efficiently, while producing high quality results,” said Wonderware Southern Africa managing director, Deon Barnard. “Only companies with proven technical excellence, high levels of customer service, integrity and multiple years of certification and project management experience with Wonderware solutions are eligible for ESI consideration. We look forward to working with Iritron in providing our customers with solutions that increase their operational efficiencies.”

Iritron has not only demonstrated continued commitment to providing superior solutions and service for customers, but has also built a strong business practice around delivering solutions built on Wonderware software.

“We are proud that Schneider Electric has certified us as an ESI based on our track record with leading southern African companies,” said Iritron managing director, Alwyn Rautenbach. “We believe that Wonderware solutions provide us with an integrated range of products that we can use to supply our customers with a fit-for-purpose solution. We endeavour to deliver these solutions, with best practices to our customers, which will make Iritron the first choice for all aspects of electrical engineering and design in the mining and other vertical industries.”

The purpose of the Wonderware System Integrator Partner Program is to attract, support and retain skilled system integrator partners to deliver highly productive solutions to end-users. Wonderware Southern Africa regularly works with around 70 South African SIs who are actively involved in supplying Wonderware solutions.
