Expensive, resource-intensive systems are challenging to manage, time-consuming and full of risks. Since 2015, Streamline Control has been working with organizations to deliver modern, scalable, and future-proofed MQTT-based SCADA platforms, specifically with industry leading AVEVA Enterprise SCADA. Our solution proved that using the MQTT infrastructure have reduced project costs by an estimated 40%. Join us to explore this technology, through real-world examples of successful projects and learn about: - Challenges with the current state of SCADA - How to architect systems to meet compliance and security standards - The ROI for adopting this type of solution for your business | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2:10 PM - 2:40 PM | Kevin Rittie - Dexcent Inc. For many businesses, data has become one of their most critical assets. The ability to collect, store, and analyze data has allowed businesses to gain insights that would otherwise have been missed. Furthermore, data capture is expanding, bringing challenges to consuming and deriving additional value. Adding to this missed opportunity is the fact that much of this data is siloed, further limiting visibility, and reducing the derived value to the organization. Identifying this invisible—or stranded—data across an organization’s many siloes and learning to leverage this information and its cross-domain relationships can enable businesses to gain a competitive advantage by discovering understandings that otherwise would have remained hidden. Join us as we introduce use cases where insights may be gained in areas that contribute to improved operational safety, integrity, compliance, and audit fulfillment. Get the Presentation Slides here.
