Invensys Wonderware's winter breakfast roadshow

August 2012 News

Invensys Wonderware’s 2012 winter breakfast roadshow ended with the serving of breakfast number 712 at Monte Casino in Johannesburg. Hundreds of industrial automation and IT professionals attended sessions at seven centres country-wide to see how Invensys Operations Management could improve the bottom line profitability of their companies.

An up-tempo dance routine opened proceedings and what followed was an interesting look at the Invensys InFusion Enterprise Control System encompassing workflow management, virtualisation, Sentinel Services and new product releases.

“Seen in isolation of one another, these applications would only make sense to individual users if they needed them at the time they were presented,” summarises Invensys Wonderware’s divisional director, Deon van Aardt. “But putting them in the context of enterprise needs, gives users a better idea of what is available and what is possible. The priorities of companies change over time but they all end up needing to excel in production, maintenance, quality and inventory management through links to real-time production information and the needs of the business. The map we use for achieving this is the Invensys Enterprise Control System concept of InFusion, whereby various applications are designed or engineered to work in concert with one another to fuse together the collaborative and unified enterprise. This gets rid of all the technology and information barriers and frees companies to differentiate themselves through innovation rather than drudgery. In other words, this is about closed-loop business control.”
