Intralogistics markets expand motion control use
By Mark T. Hoske April 8, 2021 Learning Objectives Intralogistics markets are accelerating automation investments. Automation vendors are making variable frequency drive systems easier to implement and use. ProMatDX online digital show is April 12-16 and organized by MHI, the material handling, logistics and supply chain association.
Edge computing provided cost-effective upgrades
Learning Objectives Edge controllers integrate two process lines as supervisory controllers to existing PLCs, controlling components not already managed by a local control system, and managing database transactions. Retrofits: 15 different pieces of equipment were running in 3 months. Integrators for control systems are developing experiences with how edge computing can be applied to existing and new applications. Edge devices put computing, communications, and analytics on the edge of the process.
How open systems support end users
Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry recently released a digital transformation (DX) report titled: “Overcoming the IT system ‘2025 Cliff’ and major development on the DX,” which identified legacy information technology (IT) systems as a major obstacle hindering DX. Legacy system obstacles are not limited to IT systems; legacy automation control and monitoring systems also create obstacles.
Let IIoT do the dirty work: automating sewage treatment
As global urban population continues to grow, water pollution and water scarcity are increasingly important problems for communities, businesses, and governments. Sewage management is key to both keeping water sources clean and maximizing efficiency in reclaimed water processing. Sewage system monitoring impacts nearly every aspect of treatment plants. For many plants, monitoring is performed locally using a host computer and programmable logic controllers (PLCs).

How to achieve remote automation success Original
The world we live in is not the same world we once knew. Unprecedented global events and new technological advances are forcing manufacturers to adapt and work in an ever-evolving, more remote business environment. Change is inevitable as industry feels the impact of this new reality and the challenges it presents from both a business and resource perspective.
IT/OT Convergence Delivers a Growing Range of Benefits
Summary IT/OT Convergence Delivers a Growing Range of Benefits As digital technologies for process industries have evolved, they’ve brought a growing number of benefits to process plant operations and operators. The pace of change started picking up in the 1990s when distributed control systems (DCSs) and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems began to switch from proprietary operating systems to general-purpose environments such as UNIX and Microsoft Windows.
