Westermo is to exhibit at Utility Week Live Online (UWLO), a new digital exhibition and conference for utilities professionals working across assets, operations, engineering, innovation and technology. Taking place on 24th-26th November 2020, UWLO brings the UK’s energy and water industries together in an immersive experience, providing participants with  the opportunity to discover the latest innovations and ways of achieving operational excellence.

“The Covid-19 pandemic is presenting many challenges, not least the need to protect employees by limiting interaction with third parties. At a time when face-to-face contact remains limited, UWLO provides Westermo with a great opportunity to connect with utility companies and the supporting supply chain digitally,” explained Alan Bollard, managing director of Westermo UK. “The use of data communication networks to support systems and provide remote monitoring and maintenance capability has become essential and Westermo technology is helping to create the necessary resilient and secure networks to support these critical functions.”

Westermo will use the event to present the first set of products in its new range of industrial Ethernet switches designed for IEC 61850-3 substation automation. Westermo technical experts will be available throughout the event to discuss individual industrial networking applications and issues.

“We look forward to presenting our new range of managed switches designed specifically to meet the toughest substation automation standards. We also hope to help event participants with all their industrial data networking challenges such as PTSN replacement, enhancing cybersecurity and complying with IEC 61850-3,” said Bollard. “We encourage those within the industry to embrace this unique opportunity, register for the event and take advantage of our wealth of experience and expertise to help them enhance their operational performance.”

UWLO will be hosted on the Swapcard digital platform, with AI technology matching visitors to relevant content, exhibitors and products of interest. Visitors can schedule video meetings and take advantage of training sessions, product demos and interactive workshops.
