SAIMC Secunda’s second technology evening for 2018 was hosted by Aveng ACS on the 6th of February. Christo Basson presented on ‘How to optimise your intelligent smart devices in your plant’.
From l: Johan Maritz, chairman SAIMC Secunda; Christo Basson, Aveng ACS.
Christo gave a very informative presentation on what type of equipment is needed in order to create an environment within the industry where data can be made available on personal laptops via web interfaces as well as tablets or cellphones using application software. A concern was raised as to the safety of having this information available via web interfaces and applications. He assured the group that the very best access control methods are implemented when accessing the data to protect against cyber-attacks and he also explained that the data is read only and no feedback can be sent back to the plant from the different platforms. The purpose of having the data available on these platforms is to enable different types of data processing, which in turn can contribute towards more effective preventative maintenance strategies as well as predictive failure analyses.
We would like to thank Christo Basson for his informative presentation.
