F80: Limiting Risk and Improved Security for PLCs

The way it’s always been done is not the way to remain competitive. Technology is changing rapidly and unplanned downtime due to PLC coding errors is an unnecessary risk for your organization. How do you solve this, especially with a rotating workforce in a high-skill position like PLC coding? Join this session to learn about organizational risks from PLC posturing and how you can mitigate exposure and increase uptime, while also becoming an employer of choice by introducing modern solutions with a low barrier to entry.
