Future of Manufacturing: Unleashing the Power of Industrial Control & Factory Automation
The Powerhouse Duo: Industrial Control and Factory Automation Industrial Control and Automation market size is estimated to be USD 147.9 billion in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 218.8 billion by 2027, at a CAGR of 8.2%. The modern factory floor is a far cry from the image of dusty assembly lines and manual labor. At the heart of this transformation lies the dynamic duo of industrial control and factory automation. These interconnected systems have revolutionized manufacturing, driving efficiency, quality, and safety to unprecedented levels. Industrial Control: The Orchestrator Imagine a factory as a complex symphony. Industrial control acts as the conductor, ensuring all instruments (machines) play in perfect harmony. It utilizes a network of sophisticated technologies like: Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs): The brains of the operation, PLCs are essentially specialized computers that receive sensor data, make decisions based on pre-programmed logic, and send control signals
