Plant automation
28.03.2023
The automation of industrial plants found its way into manufacturing companies with the digital revolution in the 1970s. Today, we no longer deliver any plant without an automated control function. Even if IoT and full networking of man and machine still seem a long way off in reality, the trend is clearly moving towards collection, storage and intelligent evaluation of more and more data in real time.
