The Power of Digital Twins in Industrial IoT - January 30th, 2019
a virtual conference sponsored by ABB & ARC Advisory
Simulation has been used in many years in the process industry, but now the industry is taking this to a higher level. From being used for smaller parts of the plant and operator training, now more and more of the plant can be simulated as a digital twin following the plant life cycle for improved safety and productivity. When the simulator becomes the control system master, the plant can reduce risk for unplanned shutdowns and blackouts. According to Gartner, 75% of organisations implementing IoT technology already use digital twins as part of their system, or are planning to do so within a year...

Securing the Industrial IoT Ecosystem - May 8, 2019
a virtual conference sponsored by BlackRidge Technology
New digital services and connected industrial controls systems continue to be at high risk from security breaches with subsequent impacts to consumer privacy and now personal safety. This webinar will review these market trends and risks, and the challenge of securing Operational Technology (OT) including industrial control systems (ICS) and other critical infrastructure devices and systems.
Transforming Operations: How IIoT Creates Real-Time Visibility for Manufacturing, April 23, 2019
a virtual conference sponsored by PTC
Creating real-time visibility in operations is about delivering the right information at the right time to the right person. In today’s factories, visibility is often limited because of disparate IT and OT systems, reports based on data from last week, and static, paper-based processes. Industrial IoT has the power to transform visibility in operations by breaking down these silos and delivering information in real-time with role-based applications.
Cybersecurity for the Power and Oil and Gas Industries: threats, challenges and solutions - March 13th, 2019
a virtual conference sponsored by Trend Micro
Security, both physical and cybersecurity, is a top priority for any industrial player, especially in light of the rise in cybercrime in the last years. For certain industries, not having the proper cybersecurity measures in place can affect more than just the company’s reputation.
