Software-Defined Automation: What Are the Promising Growth Drivers You Can Capitalize On?
Internal challenges in manufacturing are driving paradigm changes in industrial automation
Overview
Industrial control and automation have been historically dependent on hardware devices and proprietary, vertically integrated systems. Shifting the centralization of logic and intelligence from hardware into software that can run on any capable device is a key step in improving productivity and flexibility in manufacturing.
This shift also addresses common challenges that all manufacturing industries face, such as an aging, skilled workforce and increased demand for product personalization.
