New role at SolutionsPT to focus on industrial communications

SolutionsPT has created this new position for Wayne, formerly a SolutionsPT Software Account Manager, to allow the business to focus on working with customers to improve their communication infrastructures, increase security, mobile computing, wireless computing and HMI (Human Machine Interface).

Wayne will provide specialist customer advice in these areas and recommend systems and products, tailored for the particular needs of each client, in order to resolve their issues and achieve their goals.

Wayne comments: "We are keen to keep abreast of how trends that are emerging in general IT are crossing over into the world of industrial automation, and just as the way people interact in the office environment has changed, so too has interaction in the plant environment.

"Having spent the last six years working closely with our customers and sharing with them first-hand the issues they face, I am well positioned to respond to their needs by providing specialist support, and focussing on the topics which matter to them the most.

"For example, security in SCADA Systems is a subject we are consistently receiving communication and feedback about. Therefore, we are facing up to the challenge of educating businesses that the threat to our industry is very real, and our control systems and architecture can be vulnerable to attack.

"We believe that understanding our customers and their requirements is absolutely key to moving our business forward."
