Every industrial automation PLC SCADA project starts with the familiar process of counting I/O, selecting vendors, laying out PLC chassis, and distributing requests for quotes. And finally you are commissioning a system built on general standards, repeating the same mistakes as previous systems.
The conversations also repeat during bid review or negotiation meetings when someone points out inconsistent or outdated standards. Technology is changing so fast, and the past few years have brought technical advances that have breathed new life into Industrial automation groups and started great discussions around what the future holds. There is still a lot of work to be done.
Virtualization is a great example. Early adopters saw the benefits, and news spread like wildfire. As SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition), manufacturing execution systems, and historian capabilities increased, so did the need for processing power, and virtualization was the perfect answer. Companies now manage sites globally from central locations and deploy engineering resources via remote connections without travel. Replacing broken or failed operator and engineering workstations is as simple as connecting power, video, and network cables. Virtualization is now commonplace in Industrial automation domain. And many are asking what is next. Things like faster scan rates, increased memory, tougher security, and unified communication protocols are great.
The next big thing is waiting to happen. The Industrial Automation technology exists, and it is our job as automation professionals to help push, innovate and stay ahead on these advancements, while pushing industrial automation PLC SCADA vendors to reinvent their product portfolios. Industry has become more demanding asking for virtualized controllers and solution with mobility. but they are easily feasible with existing technology. The success of our industry depends on it.
HMI/PLC SCADA industrial automation applications have already secured their place as key components for any smart factory, collecting and analysing data from machinery on the production floor, right up to traditionally IT-focused applications. Humans by nature are reluctant to give up control; however, fully automated facility does not mean a complete end of human interference on the factory. Considering the huge focus in industrial automation / automated equipment and intelligent HMI/PLC SCADA software, it is important that manufacturers invest in employee training, enabling talented engineers from industrial automation domain to focus on important tasks.
