The Institution of Engineering and Technology has announced details of its forthcoming keynote conference for the water sector Water:Process Control & Automation.

The two day conference, which takes place at Stratford-upon-Avon in May, builds on the IET’s highly successful 9th Water Conference.

This year’s event -  the only water industry conference delivered by engineers, for engineers – will focus on engineering in control and automation in the water industry.

The conference provides a unique platform where speakers, sponsors and delegates from across the UK’s water community can discuss key issues which will be widely faced by water engineers throught the AMP6 2015-20 investment programme - focussing on:

• PR14 determinations and the AMP 6 Real Time Systems Programmes
• WITS DNP 3 latest products and developments
• How to ensure the required asset performance data is being collected
• The latest developments in Situational Awareness presentation systems
• Case studies on the latest replacement regional telemetry systems
• The use of network optimisation models in real time
• The use of real time data to improve customer service

Delegates will have a unique opportunity to hear how the water industry's engineers are moving forward to keep up with a new phase of technologies which will see increasing uptake by the water sector in AMP6 and beyond.

Programme highlights include:

• Northumbrian Water, Northern Ireland Water and Grontmij explain the practical implementations of WITS DNP3
• United Utilities present a blueprint for AMP6 real time systems
• Anglian Water discusses lessons learnt from their telemetry implementation programme
• CPNI advise on cyber security for real time systems

The conference takes place on 12^th and 13^th May – click here for more information.
