Open Networking Fuels The Next Major Advancement In Industrial Automation

摘要

The migration of devices onto networks will have a great impact in people's lives in the next five to 10 years. No where will this be more true than in industrial automation. This area will evolve from rigid command and control centers, dominated by proprietary control networks, limited device intelligence, and control schemes, to an environment of open networking. Here, the intelligence moves to devices, which operate automatically without human intervention.
