THE Institute of Instrumentation, Control and Automation Australia Inc (IICA) is to hold its inaugural national conference, IICA2005 (From Sensors to the Boardroom) from 25 to 28 July 2005 in Melbourne.
“Business risk, safety, performance and optimisation depend on events that occur on the shopfloor and ultimately influence management decisions,” said Ernst Krauss, conference convenor. “The success of our future business endeavours relies not only on information but on establishing what information is relevant, instructive and useful to make increasingly complex decisions.”
Areas to be covered at IICA2005 include:
Smart instrumentation, asset management support and bus systems;
Wireless communications, global positioning and communication systems, and wireless networks;
Safeguarding systems, HIPPS and high reliability devices, risk management, compliance, machinery control and safety;
Performance management, KPIs, scorecards, cost effective instrumentation and control systems;
Forensic, bio medicine, nuclear medicine, laboratory instrumentation and analysers;
Control systems, neural and fuzzy networks, statistical controls, research in control systems and efficient loop control;
Building management, machinery and manufacturing systems;
Condition monitoring components and systems;
Asset management applications and documentation systems;
Financial benchmarks and risk assessment, taxation considerations; and
Techniques, methodologies and planning for instrumented control and automation systems.
Submissions are being invited on all aspects of instrumentation, control and automation technology and application. These can be in the form of presentations or proposals for workshops. www.iica.org.au
