Industrial automation utilizes various devices such as control systems, computers, robots, technology sets, and programmable controllers to carry out industrial operations without human intervention. Industrial automation is conducted at four levels?structure, automation control, supervision, and enterprise. At the structure level, sensors and actuators are used to obtain process variables in a continuous or periodic manner. At the automation control level, devices such as PCs, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and distributed control systems (DCS) provide industrial process control. The supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) or supervision level is when data is acquired from various control devices and displayed through human-machine interfaces (HMIs) which interact with field devices. At the enterprise level, various tasks such as scheduling, sales, ordering, and product planning are carried out. Industrial automation allows enterprises to manufacture large volumes of high-quality products at a faster rate. Also, with the adoption of automation, companies can remain competitive in the manufacturing industry.
Government policies supporting the adoption of industrial automation, increasing demand for industrial automation in manufacturing industries, and the growing focus of organizations on worker safety are the major factors enhancing the growth of the industrial automation market. However, the high implementation cost of equipment may hamper the market growth in the forecast period.
The global industrial automation market is expected to grow at a 9.35% CAGR during the forecast period 2018-2023.
