Production plants have different challenges and different needs. However, one commonality they share is the need for technologies that lower costs of design while increasing productivity, quality and flexibility in the manufacturing process. Furthermore, managers need the ability to monitor plant status in real time and respond quickly to any disruption in output or change in orders.

Today’s SCADA Systems must have the ability to meet tomorrow’s requirements. Modern systems are proactive and include a lot of ‘real time’ data updates from thousands of RTUs that are often spread of large geographical areas. They also require high security functionalities to prevent networks vulnerabilities against attacks. Optimising the effectiveness of superior SCADA systems is now paramount in order to improve quality, reliability, efficiency and ultimately the bottom line of industries and utilities.

The purpose of this conference is to provide delegates with real-life best practice case studies from local and international presenters focusing on the latest technologies, trends and challenges in the area of SCADA, Industrial security, Automation and Process Control, resulting in an increase in plant performance. Practical examples for improving productivity and safety, optimizing resources and communication and minimizing risks and costs will be examined.
