SYNOPSIS
In order to be part of the new post-COVID world order, high-tech and high-touch automation is a must for any industry that is hoping to compete and be successful in the new way ‘of doing business”. Implementing these kinds of requirements have been challenging in the past but it has become even more difficult with the ‘forced digitalization’, restricted movement, and ‘Grab delivery’ of the everyday project activities. These are aspects that were not anticipated by the age-old project management methodologies and practices. Couple this with the new way of doing business and the value of the new generation of engineers, and it becomes an intricate ‘new order’ mess that must be understood before anything of value can be delivered to the company, and to the nation, for its “fit-for-purpose” intention.
At the micro level, SCADA and automation systems have undergone tremendous changes from the monolithic, centralised architecture infrastructure that are generally ‘cast in stone’ to a more nimble, flexible and dynamic system in its functional terms. The performance criteria and its functional aspects have to be ‘cast in stone’ but not its implementation, its form, or its looks. This is why most SCADA systems fail before being taken over by the Client, become obsolete very fast or simply just does not fit into the everyday activities of a company. This webinar will highlight how to avoids such situations and provide insights into solving some of the issues that will make successful projects more viable.
