As people are moving
away from traditional systems towards integrated networks, global industrial
control and factory automation market has been witnessing growth. Global
Industrial Automation Control & factory Automation Market by 2021 is
expected to reach 257 billion USD.
Integrated networks include both hardware as well as software consisting
of PLC SCADA, Variable Frequency Drives, Instrumentation, Motion & robotics
systems, DCS Systems, industrial networks etc.
Currently Global Industrial Automation Control & factory Automation
Market size in 2016 is approximately 200 Billion USD and is witnessing 12.6%
year on year growth. The increasing trend is penetrating across society and
global economy. All types of process & manufacturing industries, aerospace,
defense, transportation, Electrical, electronics, food & Beverages, Oil
& Gas, Pharmaceuticals, Chemicals and water management are all focusing
towards complete automation.
Nuclear
power plants and control & Automation, Surveillance and Communication
Nuclear power plants
deploy cutting edge advanced instrumentation and advanced automation control
systems for regular operations, special inspections and maintenance activities.
Most advanced surveillance and communication systems are deployed to ensure safety
and security of sensitive nuclear installations. The centralized control room
in nuclear power plant is vital location housing highly sophisticated state of
art display panels, operating consoles, plant lay outs, SCADA Consoles, video
coverage of critical locations and plant emergency communication systems.
As part of security and
surveillance requirements inside the plant areas, access control systems are
installed to prevent unauthorized entry. Entire plant is provided with graded
security monitoring and access control systems.
Job
opportunities in the area of automation instrumentation surveillance and
communication
The existing and future
nuclear power plants provide enormous job opportunities especially in the areas
of Instrumentation, automation, surveillance and communication sectors. These
systems deployed in plants are acquired from suppliers on engineering, procurement,
construction, commissioning basis package contracts. Thus skilled automation
person will have job opportunities at different stages starting at the
manufacturing, assembling, testing stage at suppliers location, at the site
while erection of the equipment, calibration and commissioning activities and
later on in support system for operation and maintenance.
Due to strict
regulations & safety instructions, there is a periodic replacement of
equipments takes place. There is a sustained enormous employment opportunity
for Industrial Automation, surveillance & communication trained engineers.
