COPA-DATA

Konferencja „Automatyka elektroenergetyczna w dobie transformacji” z udziałem COPA-DATA ⚡ Za nami XXVI edycja Konferencji SPIE Energotest. Tegoroczne wydarzenie skupiło się na wyzwaniach, które związane są z transformacją sektora energetycznego oraz na trendach i technologii kształtującej przyszłość elektroenergetyki. Przedstawiciele COPA-DATA zaprezentowali oprogramowanie zenon oraz jego zastosowania w branży energetycznej (zwiększenie efektywności działania instalacji OZE, zarządzanie procesem wytwarzania i dystrybucji energii, czy też zaawansowana kontrola nadzorcza i pozyskiwanie danych). Konferencja SPIE Energotest umożliwiła nawiązanie nowych kontaktów oraz zacieśnienie relacji z Partnerami. Była też okazją do przeprowadzenia inspirujących dyskusji z zakresu energetyki. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The SPIE Energotest Conference “𝐄𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐫𝐚 𝐨𝐟 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧” with COPA-DATA Participation ⚡ The 26th edition of the SPIE Energotest Conference has come to an end. This year’s event focused on the challenges related to the transformation of the energy sector, as well as on the trends and technologies shaping the future of the power industry. Representatives of COPA-DATA presented the zenon software and its applications in the energy sector, including improving the efficiency of renewable energy installations, managing energy generation and distribution processes, and advanced supervisory control and data acquisition. The SPIE Energotest Conference provided an opportunity to establish new contacts and strengthen relationships with Partners. It also created a space for inspiring discussions on topics related to the energy industry.

𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭 - 𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐳𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦 In regulated industries, data is more than just information, it is fundamental. It must be complete, consistent, and always audit-ready. As a GAMP 5 Category 4 software product, zenon aligns with key regulations such as FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and EU Annex 11, helping ensure your systems are designed for compliance from the ground up. But true data integrity comes from the fundamentals, the “ingredients” that close the gaps: 🔸 eSignature for accountability, 🔸 Audit Trail for full traceability, 🔸 User Access Control for security, 🔸Historian for reliable data storage, 🔸 Recipe Management for process consistency, and 🔸 Reporting for full transparency. While there’s no such thing as a “𝐆𝐀𝐌𝐏 𝐠𝐮𝐧,” zenon comes pretty close to it, by simplifying validation, strengthening compliance, and making audits far less stressful. Because when your data is reliable, your decisions are too. Get the full document here ➡️ https://hubs.ly/Q04cHt3c0

𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 Modern digital buildings offer an increasing number of ways and means to 'go smart' at a much faster pace. Engineering struggles to keep up with skyrocketing demands for scalability, efficiency and sustainability. The answer for more future-proof Building Management Systems (BMS) might lie in automated engineering and virtual PLCs. 📢 Michael Legat, Specialist Manufacturing Industry at COPA-DATA, talks about the future of smart buildings and explains how zenon ensures much-needed flexibility and hardware independence in his article for Information Unlimited Magazine Vol. 44.

Regulatory pressure is rising and responsibility is shifting. With NIS2 and the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), organizations are now accountable not just for their own operations, but also for the security of their software suppliers. That creates real challenges: 🔺 Unclear requirements 🔺 Risk of fines or forced changes 🔺 Costly security retrofits One key step: look closely at how your vendors handle product security across the lifecycle. 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐳𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬: ✅ Secure development lifecycle aligned with CRA expectations ✅ Processes built on international standards ✅ Focus on long-term security and compliance Choosing the right vendor today can reduce risk and avoid costly surprises tomorrow.
