Smart factory software developer, COPA-DATA will demonstrate the latest version of its software platform zenon 8.10, at the Smart Factory Expo 2019.
Held at the Exhibition Centre Liverpool on November 13th to 14th, 2019, the annual exhibition brings together 150 cutting-edge exhibitors to showcase the most notable technologies for use in digital manufacturing, including COPA-DATA’s smart manufacturing software, zenon 8.10 and its updated Analyzer 3.30 reporting tool.
COPA-DATA will exhibit from the show’s Industrial Automation zone — one of eight dedicated areas to demonstrate different technologies that are essential for the digitalisation of factories.
As part of a larger event, Digital Manufacturing Week, the Smart Factory Expo welcomes over 6,000 industry leaders, all of which have goals to increase the amount of digital technology used in the manufacturing realm.
Smart software upgrades
The Smart Factory Expo 2019 coincides with the release of zenon 8.10, the newest version of COPA-DATA’s well-established software platform.
The new version, which was launched officially from COPA-DATA’s Austrian head office in July 2019, delivers improvements on the capabilities of the pre-existing zenon offering and is more secure, efficient and user-friendly than ever before.
zenon 8.10 has been skilfully coded to meet the ever-changing requirements of state-of-the-art automation. As the number of variables in factories grows exponentially, the data processing capabilities of zenon 8.10 has grown with it.
For instance, the newest update has increased the number of potential value changes from 400 to 150,000 per second — achieving a three-fold improvement without impacting runtime performance.
At the show, COPA-DATA will be at hand to provide live demonstrations of zenon, allowing visitors to view exactly how zenon could be used to manage processes in their facility. This includes an updated demonstration which includes new zenon dashboards.
From the stand, COPA-DATA will also show the zenon Analyzer 3.30 reporting tool, an improved version of its real-time reporting and analytics program.
Ask the experts
COPA-DATA’s technical support team and the company’s managing director, Martyn Williams, will be present at the show to answer any questions about the software platform.
The team will provide knowledge and insight into the software, as well as provide case studies and literature to demonstrate how zenon could be deployed in specific sectors or applications.
“2019 marks our third year exhibiting at the Smart Factory Expo in Liverpool,” stated Martyn Williams, managing director of COPA-DATA UK. “The show provides a unique opportunity for visitors to meet the technical experts behind products, in order to fully understand how deploying this technology could improve performance and efficiency at their site.”
“Software is an integral part of digital transformation, but it’s intangible without a clear demonstration on how to deploy it and use it effectively. At the Smart Factory Expo, we will be at hand to demonstrate zenon 8.10 and its capabilities. Visitors are welcomed to visit the team at stand A80 to ask for a demonstration.”
