ICS Security - How to Achieve Maximum "Bang for Your Buck" and Lower Your Risk

As OT networks become even more connected to IT networks, we'll see more cyber activities that attack OT devices and networks and may even traverse into the IT network. How do we achieve cyber security in this environment? How do we get the most "bang for our buck"? How do we ensure that we are lowering our risk?

On Line Electric Motor Diagnostic Techniques

This program will focus on industrial electric motors, and how on-line Large HP Electric Motor diagnostic techniques (Motor Circuit Evaluator MCE, infra-red thermography, and vibration analysis) can be used to detect the early onset of problems. It will also focus on how this technique lends itself to prescriptive maintenance techniques.

Discussion: Industry 4.0

Industry 4.0 leverages advances in technology to accelerate preventative maintenance and real-time feedback on other process dynamics to achieve major advances in manufacturing efficiency. Let's discuss what you are doing in this exciting time and what this can mean to your operations.
