Pantek will be exhibiting and demonstrating Wonderware's Industrial Application Server and Preactor advanced planning and scheduling systems on stand B31at IRCHEM 2005.

Pantek will be exhibiting and demonstrating Wonderware's Industrial Application Server and Preactor advanced planning and scheduling systems on stand B31at the IRCHEM 2005 exhibition, being held at the Citywest Hotel and Convention Centre, Dublin, Ireland, from 20th to 22nd September 2005 Wonderware's Industrial Application Server (IAS) introduces a new era in engineering productivity and scalability for chemical, pharmaceutical and other industrial automation applications

It provides a new tier of real-time data acquisition, alarm and event management, data manipulation services and collaborative engineering capabilities that have been designed from the ground up for use in industrial automation applications.

The Industrial Application Server infrastructure simplifies the development, deployment, maintenance and administration of distributed automation applications.

IAS is a new software component built on Invensys' ArchestrA architecture.

John Bailey, Pantek's Managing Director said of the show: "We will be exhibiting a range of solutions, but will be majoring on Wonderware's Industrial Application Server and the Preactor range of advanced planning and scheduling systems".

Elaborating more about Preactor and Pantek's added value Aidan Finnegan, Pantek's Account Manager for Ireland said: "By integrating Preactor with an execution system using Nexus, Pantek's own in-house developed real-time interface that connects Wonderware's InTouch visualisation software to Preactor's advanced planning and scheduling system, companies can now create a dynamic planning environment that gives planners the ability to publish schedules directly to the shop floor whilst maintaining complete visibility of current performance against the schedule".

"On our stand we'll also be demonstrating our in-depth technical knowledge and application experience, underlining how, in partnership with us, our wide range of customers have implemented automation and control projects with confidence and great success".

Commenting further Bailey said: "We are able to provide manufacturing industry professionals in all market and industry sectors including of course the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, with an understanding of how collaborative manufacturing is developing, and most importantly, how it is already impacting the way they work".

"Furthermore, we'll indicate how we provide the support required to confidently take up the opportunities that this understanding presents".

"Visitors to the exhibition need to learn how to get real competitive advantage from their manufacturing investment, and by talking to Pantek they'll get just that".
