WINA PRESENTS: WIRELESS AND YOUR DCS (Distributed Control System) ARE YOU READY?

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009 -0400

The live webinar, “Wireless and Your DCS (Distributed Control System)—Are You Ready?” was a collaboration of three WINA members from leading industrial automation companies, Honeywell, Invensys, and Yokogawa: Hesh Kagan, Invensys Process Systems Director of Technology for New Business Development, Dr. Penny Chen, Principal Systems Architect at Yokogawa's Industrial Automation Global Strategic Technology Marketing Center, and David Kaufman, Director of Business Development for the Honeywell Process Solutions business.

The webinar was moderated by Andrew Bond, contributing editor of Control Global magazine and publisher of the monthly newsletter Industrial Automation INSIDER.

This webinar examined the many ways in which wireless communications can be integrated into your control architecture, what different backhaul technologies mean to you, and how security is not an absolute - but something that can be engineered to meet your specific situation. Most importantly, participants will come away with questions you should ask your vendor regarding wireless, security, solutions, and meeting your expectations.
