COPA-DATA explores how IEC 61850, real-time data, and rigorous testing are transforming energy transmission, making grid modernization essential to balance growing energy demands with climate goals.

By Christoph Dorigatti, Vice President of global business development at automation supplier COPA-DATA, explains how energy data management systems (EDMS) are critical to complying with EU sustainability reporting requirements.

COPA-DATA will be presenting its zenon software platform at BrauBeviale 2023 in Nuremberg from 28 to 30 November. The specialist for industrial software will show how the transformation process towards sustainable production can be innovatively and digitally designed.

To support the integration of battery energy storage systems (BESS) onto energy grids, COPA-DATA has engineered its software platform zenon for use in BESS applications.

Cyber security is consistently hailed as a top global concern for governments, individuals and businesses alike. However, most rhetoric on the subject focuses on securing information technology (IT), rather than operational technology (OT). In this article Reinhard Mayr, head of information security and research operations at automation software supplier COPA-DATA, examines the need for a different approach.

The World Economic Forum (WEF) states that leveraging the digital twin to support Industry 4.0 business models could increase operational efficiency by ten per cent, to simulate the behaviour of real machines for operational gains.

Bringing together interdisciplinary data offers companies great opportunities to find new and efficient solutions that provide answers to developing customer demands. From November 8-10, COPA-DATA will present various cross-disciplinary application examples of the zenon software platform from production, infrastructure, and laboratory automation at the SPS Trade Fair in Nuremberg in Hall 7, Booth 590.

The diversification of the global energy mix has posed new challenges to substation operators. Effectively collecting and using data is valuable for monitoring and control, and accurate load flow data is key in supporting grid operations.

Industrial software vendor, COPA-DATA has released zenon 11, the latest iteration of its intelligent software platform for industrial and energy sites. The new version introduces the powerful MTP Suite, a game-changing tool that enables modular production. zenon 11 is now available for automotive, food and beverage, life sciences and energy applications.

Industrial software developer, COPA-DATA has launched a ground-breaking Module Type Package (MTP) Suite as part of its zenon software platform. Plug and produce with zenon and MTP. To introduce this technology to the life sciences and process industries, COPA-DATA will deliver a free MTP with zenon webinar on May 3, 2022, at 8.00am and 3.00pm GMT. Attendees should register their interest in advance on the COPA-DATA website.
