Joe Haugh of Zenith Technology, currently seconded to Wyeth Grange Castje and responsible for commissioning and validation of all automated systems at Grange Castle, will discuss Control and Communication, with the problems of "Future Proofing" your system. David McBrearty of MCOS Consulting Engineers, who specialise in water services and waste management in particular, will discuss Accessibility and Interoperability of Control Systems. Brian Ahern, President of Verano, the first company to provide a comprehensive network security solution, will open the discussion on Security. There will be another speaker to introduce the problems associated with Electronic Records and Batch Tracking. Chairman for the day will be Andrew Bond, the leading commentator on I and C matters in Europe, through his "Industrial Automation Insider" newsletter. A memorable and informative event is assured, with Andrew to point out inadequacies in the various arguments, and bring the commercial jargon down to earth.
