2. You Will Benefit From Two Half- Days Of Training
One of the most popular aspects of the dataPARC User Conference is our training. The engineering team is pleased to present two half days of training during this year’s virtual conference. Our team has worked hard to present topics that you can utilize to enhance your experience as a dataPARC user.
Sessions will be presented virtually by dataPARC experts with Q &A available once the training module is complete. Training will include scenarios of dataPARC in use while focusing in on different applications. Sessions may include the following topics: Identifying and using Golden Runs in Centerline, Deviation Detection, Asset Manager in Practice, PARCtask workflow triggered from Alarms, Practical Examples in PARCmodel, WPF bindings in PARCgraphics and other relevant and important topics.
Training will be recorded and will be available for conference attendees to view at a later date and time should you not be able to attend.
3. You Will Learn From dataPARC Customer Use Cases and Experiences
One of the best features of our user conference is hearing and seeing real world examples of how Capstone’s customers have used the dataPARC software to empower their operations worldwide. In previous years we have had presenters from countries all over the world including China, South Korea, Thailand, Lebanon and Canada.
Presentations focus on use cases of dataPARC in action. Customers speak to the solutions that have served them, what challenges were addressed and what the outcome was. Whenever possible presenters will use charts, graphics and data as they explain their use cases.
At this conference -unlike in-person conferences- Capstone has the ability to host online presenters without having to worry about the limitations of time and travel. The conference will feature presentations from multiple industries including pulp & paper, chemicals and other industries. Presentations will be recorded available after to conference attendees after the conference.
