Why a modern operational infrastructure is crucial for industrial automation


Johannesburg, 29 Oct 2018

The industrial Internet of the things (IIOT), Industry 4.0 and big data analytics are all topics at the forefront of the industrial automation world.

While they represent the future of generating increased efficiencies for plant operations, it is not where most automation organisations are focused today. The majority of automation engineers and managers face the challenge of what to do with their existing automation infrastructure to prepare for a future, more digital, world with new analytics, applications and increased connectivity.

This Webinar, hosted by John Fryer, Senior Director of Industry Solutions for Stratus Technologies, will examine the steps that automation organisations can take to prepare for this new digital world, and demonstrate how incremental investments can streamline existing operations to generate near-term savings while laying the foundation for future IIOT and Industry 4.0 applications.

You will learn about:

* How modernising your automation infrastructure prepares you for IIOT and Industry 4.0;
* Key considerations for upgrading your automation infrastructure;
* Best practices in realising a modern automation infrastructure;
* The ease of updating existing applications and adding new ones; and
* Real benefits you can gain today and in the future.

The Webinar will also touch on technologies and strategies that are key to realising a modern automation infrastructure, including:

* Virtualisation as the underpinning for a simplified and cost-effective automation infrastructure;
* Utilising best practices for protecting virtual environments to simplify redundancy;
* Preventing application degradation and failures that consume time and resources; and
* Understanding key success factors, including the speed of recovery, protection against data loss, integration with existing environments, ease of use and optimising TCO.
