The future of Industrial automation PLC SCADA technologies

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The conversations also repeat during bid review or negotiation meetings when someone points out inconsistent or outdated standards.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. Virtualization is now commonplace in Industrial automation domain. And many are asking what is next. The next big thing is waiting to happen. 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, 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.
