Abstract
In this article, Sujeet Chand, chief technology officer at Rockwell Automation guides us through the morass of future trends in factory automation. The five technology clusters that Rockwell monitors are control and diagnostics, communications, electronics, materials and software. When considering the problems facing manufacturing, Chand ponders before mentioning the integration of factories within business systems such as SAP, a move driven by supply chain integration and flexible manufacturing or customer demand. Within the factory itself, issues such as regulatory compliance drivers, safety and security, conformity and certainly cost and energy efficiency are top of his list.
