Control, efficiency and safety at the Automation instrumentation summit

Economy & innovation · ·

On 5–6 July, the Automation instrumentation summit takes place at the Castello di Belgioioso — the conference dedicated to control, safety and efficiency in industrial processes.

Control and safety first. These will be the main themes of the Automation instrumentation summit, the major international conference on process automation and instrumentation taking place on 5–6 July at the beautiful setting of the Castello di Belgioioso (PV).

The event is promoted by AIS, a non-profit association that aims to disseminate information on instruments and measurement and control systems, and ISA Italy Section, the Italian Section of ISA–The Instrumentation, systems and automation society, with around 40,000 professional members working in the field of instrumentation and process control.

Through meetings and presentations, the goal is to encourage the exchange and comparison of ideas and cutting-edge technological solutions among the various manufacturing companies, with the aim of identifying strategies to emerge from the recession and achieve improvements across the entire sector.

Themes of the Automation instrumentation summit

Five meetings are planned during the summit. In New opportunities for control systems, for example, developments in sector strategies will be presented; Plant control and communication will instead be an opportunity to look at measurement techniques linked to innovative sensors, the management of process plants and predictive maintenance to increase productivity, quality and plant reliability.

Internet of Things (IoT), Industry 4.0, Cybersecurity aims to better understand how new techniques for managing large quantities of data (Big Data), cybersecurity and real-time analysis can improve plant safety and efficiency.

The evolution of instrumentation and analysers will then be the right moment to discuss diagnostics, health management practices, instrumentation and control systems, process measurements, signal analysis, fire suppression systems and gas detection. In the Business and management meeting, finally, attendees will be able to hear from speakers working in automation (and beyond), who have insights on topics related to strategic business growth, market trends and forecasts for the evolution of today's automation and control industries.
