ABB Automation
Integrated Operations
Are you involved in the design,
development or operation of systems
which integrate automation with
other systems?
Are you interested in the
architectures and technologies used
to implement enterprise-wide control
and management systems?
Would you like to know more about
the possibilities of improving the
effectiveness of your operation
through collaborative working?
For many years, control, monitoring and management
systems have been developed separately. Collaboration
between the users of these systems is often hindered, rather
than assisted, by their implementation.
At best, systems such as automation, electrical, safety and
maintenance management are able to share data. However,
there is hardly ever a standardised approach to ensure that
users are assisted in their job by bringing together the right
information, at the right time in the right place.
With recent technological developments in areas such as
communications, user interfaces and workflow management,
some operators are beginning to implement truly enterprise-
level collaborative working environments.
Who should attend?
This session is aimed at those with an interest in how user
effectiveness can be improved by adopting new operating
practices. Thereby improving safety and realising increased
reliability and efficiency.
