Key Industrial Automation Control Market Driver
The increasing focus on smart factories is notably driving the industrial automation and control systems market growth. Industrial manufacturing is evolving toward flexibility and scalability, wherein the advent of smart factories has been a supplementing factor toward digital transformation. Smart factories mainly involve a gradual shift from traditional automation toward a fully connected and flexible system. A smart factory can be defined as a facility in which all the devices are interlinked over a communication network, and the data available from each device can be utilized for learning and adapting to the new demands of customers. Hence, by capturing real-time information and enabling remote control of machinery, the IoT can increase efficiency and enhance the value provided by manufacturers to customers.
Factors such as ongoing technological advances, increasing complexity in supply chains, growing competitive pressure across the globe, ongoing organizational realignments resulting from the increased adoption of information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT), and increased investments by end-user industries are driving the acceptance of the smart factories concept globally.
Key Industrial Automation Control Market Trend
Virtualization of automation control systems is the primary trend driving the industrial automation control market growth. Industrial automation control systems can be virtualized using software called hypervisors, which create and run the virtual machine. The virtual machine contains the operating system and software. Different operating systems are operated on top of a primary operating system using virtual machines. Virtualization can be applied to the different communication layers in industrial premises, such as the server, storage, desktop, file, and network. It provides benefits such as optimum resource utilization and ensures smooth operation besides ensuring cost savings in terms of power consumption.
As most of the physical servers are designed to run only one operating system and application at a time, it limits the server's performance. Thus, the server is not fully used most of the time. Even small data centers require multiple servers to run different applications on operating systems, which increases the overall cost. Integrating different industrial automation systems, such as SCADA, PLCs, and MES, on a single physical server, which can be easily accessed from different locations on the plant floor using virtual machines, will reduce the overall cost of servers. Though the penetration of virtualization in industrial premises is low, increasing awareness about virtual software and the flexibility achieved by using automation software is expected to increase the demand for virtualization in the industrial automation market during the forecast period.
Key Industrial Automation Control Market Challenge
The lack of effective interoperability may impede the industrial automation control market growth. The lack of effective interoperability between various automation solutions and control technologies is one of the major issues hampering the growth of the global industrial automation control market. End-users face interoperability issues if the interface cannot support the latest industrial automation control systems. Modern industrial systems and facilities are becoming complex, owing to the deployment of multiple devices and systems with different configurations. Therefore, integrating different systems poses a challenge to end-users in terms of compatibility and interoperability. Furthermore, in industries such as oil and gas, power, chemicals and petrochemicals, and water and wastewater, integrating industrial automation control systems becomes even more complex as these systems depend on legacy systems.
The Open Process Automation Forum is one of the ways through which stakeholders are trying to solve interoperability issues in industries. The forum comprises different end-users, suppliers, system integrators, standards organizations, and academia that focus on developing a standards-based, open, secure, and interoperable process control architecture. With increasing standardization, the effect of interoperability issues associated with automation systems provided by various automation vendors is expected to decrease during the forecast period.
