Paperless Maintenance of Calibration Processes
Speed and accuracy of information is more important than ever. When it comes to calibration this has never been truer. Increased regulation, oversight and the demand for up-to-the-minute data requires an adaptive and automated calibration process. But how can you implement a digital process when faced with issues such as budget restrictions, overextended IT resources, and regulatory uncertainties. “Digitalization” is often overused, but one way to look at it in the industrial automation world is how to develop “Paperless Maintenance.”…

Industrial Networking – Securing Your Facility’s Communications
It might sound cliché that cybersecurity is important in industrial environments, but with the level of connectivity that started in the 1990s – industrial control systems (ICS) have never been more connected than they are today. The good news is, it’s easy to find the right network equipment, but the harder part is deploying them or re-architecting networks. So, for the audience, at work or conferences you might hear phases or terminology such as: the Perdue model, network layers, ISA95,…

Top 20 Secure PLC Coding Practices
Industrial Control Systems (ICS also referred to as OT or Operational Technology, consisting of SCADA, PLC, DCS etc.) have historically been insecure by design. Several years into customizing and applying best practices from IT gave rise to secure protocols, use of encryption, network segmentation & isolation etc. However, there has not been much focus on using the characteristic features in the PLCs and DCS for security, or how to code/program PLCs with security in mind. This project – inspired by…

CAMaaS : How to convert your camera into a sensor !
CAMaaS stands for CAMera as a Sensor. In this webinar, you learn the requirements and steps to convert an image from a simple camera into a sensor. This means converting the image into a status or value that can be interfaced with the SCADA/HMI for alarming, trending and even control. If humans can make decisions based on the image displayed by the camera, CAMaaS can do the same on a 24/7 basis! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0E5KF2edtbU&t=13s You can have additional information here: CAMaaS September 30 @ 16h00…
