Middlesbrough, UK – 18 September, 2013
- The Fieldbus Foundation UK Marketing Committee (FFUKMC) is finalising its
plans for the third of its 2013 schedule of end user events – a FOUNDATION
Technology Study Day to be held in Middlesbrough on Wednesday 2 October, 2013.
With a morning
session focused on an introduction to FOUNDATION technology,
a lunch break with tabletop displays and additional presentations, and an
afternoon session offering a more advanced programme, delegates will be able to
tailor the day to suit their own requirements. Delegates may choose to attend either
the morning or afternoon session or they are welcome to attend both. There is
no charge to attend and the lunch and lunchtime sessions are open to all delegates.
Following
registration and coffee, the morning session, from 10.00-12.30, will include an
introduction to FOUNDATION technology and solutions, and an insight
into the lifecycle economics of the system.
The afternoon
session, from 13.30-16.00, will present a more in-depth programme of
presentations and practical workshops with a focus on supporting a FOUNDATION installation
through asset management; device replacement; calibration and recommended
maintenance practices.
All registered attendees
are invited to the complimentary lunch during which Fieldbus Foundation member
companies will be available to discuss and demonstrate their Foundation products and services.
Also available during
the lunch break are update presentations on Foundation
for Remote Operations Management (F-ROM) and Foundation
for Safety Instrumented Functions (FF-SIF).
Richard Barnes,
chairman of the FFUKMC is looking forward to welcoming current or potential end
users, system integrators, EPCs, and all personnel with an interest in FOUNDATION fieldbus
systems or a need to gain an understanding of the technology. “The FFUKMC has
tried and tested this new approach to its end user seminars – we understand the
need for differing levels of information to suit individuals in differing roles
within the process automation enterprise. The study day format which we adopted
for our recent events in London and Aberdeen allows everyone to gain high
quality information whether it’s at an introductory level or an advanced
level.” He continued, “There will also be several opportunities throughout the
day for networking with other users and potential users, as well as industry
experts and suppliers of the systems, devices and components that make up a FOUNDATION system.”
The event will be
held on Wednesday 2 October at the Emerson Process Management offices, 2,
Eggleston Court, Startforth Road, Riverside Park, Middlesbrough, TS2 1RU. Delegates
are invited to register their names, company, email address and session
preferences with the UK Committee, email: uk_info@fieldbus.org.
The FOUNDATION
Technology Study Days will continue to be held at locations around the UK. The
next scheduled event will be announced in due course.
