Automatic control of backup tasks and management of modifications in industrial devices (30/04 12.00 h.), keys and requirements for the definition of a communication system between remote M2M plants (07/05 12.00 h.), communications with the new OPC-UA standard over SOAP/HTTP (S) (28/05 12.00 h.), what are the main vulnerabilities that industrial systems face and how to solve them to structure a cybersecure environment (19/06 16.00 h.) and industrial reporting with Wonderware (25/06 12.00 h.) are the contents of the first five Teknowebinars.
Calendar and Content
• Autosave, or when backup management ceases to be a problem (Tuesday, April 30, 12:00 PM) will delve into how an optimal Automation Change Management strategy allows you to address one of the main challenges of industrial facilities: automatically controlling backups and managing changes to the programs of different devices. The multitude of components, the variety of control platforms they use, and the large number of personnel accessing these systems, with the consequent risk of downtime, are issues that, with MDT Autosave technology, no longer pose a problem when managing backups.
• Key points for a correct definition of an M2M communications system (Tuesday, May 7, 2013, 12:00 PM) is a workshop designed to offer an overview of the most common problems and requirements when defining a communications system between remote M2M (Machine to Machine) plants. Ensuring reduced operating costs for the installation, structuring a robust, stable, and scalable architecture that complies with the strictest regulations and also allows for historical data collection, reporting, integration, availability, and interoperability will be some of the topics covered in the session.
• OPC-UA. Unifying Communications (Tuesday, May 28, 12:00 PM) will cover the evolution of industrial architectures from the OPC-DA control and monitoring communication standard, based on COM/DCOM technology, to the new OPC-UA standard, which integrates OPC DA, OPC-HDA, OPC A&E, etc., with SOAP/HTTP(S) technology. Easier to configure and use, this webinar will present the current state of OPC-UA and conclude with an analysis of Kepware's KEPServerEx offering, the leading OPC server in the industrial market.
• Industrial Cybersecurity: Main Vulnerabilities and Specific Technologies (Wednesday, June 19, 4:00 p.m.) will focus its analysis on how to protect information handled in industrial and infrastructure I2 environments, as well as data managed by different systems and devices (SCADA Servers, Historian Servers, OPC Servers, PLCs, RTUs, DCSs, etc.) and the facilities that house these systems. With vulnerabilities that differ slightly from those in IT environments, the Teknowebinar will delve into how to configure a series of specific countermeasures to ensure compliance with the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information.
• Leveraging Plant Information: The Right Information, the Right People at the Right Time (Wednesday, June 26, 12:00 PM). The complexity of new industrial information systems allows for obtaining key information to improve processes and optimize resources. This session will present different reporting tools offered by Wonderware that enable the delivery of accurate information to the right people at the right time.
