Machine Interfaces or Workflow
Management Systems?
Are you interested in the
architectures and technologies used
to integrate Field Operations, Control
Rooms and Remote Centres?
Ever since the early days of automation, there has been the
need to relay information and accept supervisory decisions
from operators. As processes grow more complex, the
number of operational personnel decreases and the capability
of technology expands, the effectiveness of operators
becomes ever more crucial.
This holistic session covers the subject broadly, starting with
overall concepts, through engineering lifecycle issues and
concluding with the live demonstration of a real-time system.
Who should attend?
Managers, engineers and operators involved in the interaction
of industrial systems with people.
