 February 6 2009

IDC Technologies Engineering Events

Johannesburg, South Africa 25th & 26th March 2009

SCADA has traditionally meant a window into the process of a plant or gathering of data from devices in the field, but now the focus is on integrating this process data into the actual business and using it in real time. Optimising the effectiveness of SCADA systems today is achieved by using open standards such as communication protocols (eg DNP3 and  ndustrial Ethernet) and off the shelf hardware and software. Now, more than ever before, industry and utilities rely on their control systems toimprove their quality, reliability, efficiency and of course their bottom line.

In order to have a competitive advantage in 2009 and beyond you need to be armed with up-to-date, practical and competent advice to make informed and profitable decisions. You require the latest know-how to defend your systems and prevent vulnerability to security breaches and attacks.

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, Industrial Security, Automation and Process Control. Attention will be focused on the integration of communications protocols, standards, and SCADA systems into your everyday business processes.

The collection of experts at the The 4th SCADA and Industrial Automation Conference 2009 will offer practical and contemporary take home advice to maximise the value of your SCADA systems.
