The industrial automation control market in Asia-Pacific: cloud-based SCADA, Analytical software solutions and more

on


Analytical software solutions and cloud-based solutions and systems are dramatically transforming each industry, delivering inter alia the flexibility, agility, security and actionable business insights and data you need.

One can then observe the popularity of cloud-based SCADA systems; incorporation of analytics tools in SCADA and advanced process control (APC); the integration of predictive modeling, forecasting, optimization, and statistical analysis in software such as SCADA and APC, to easily identify and predict possible errors in the process.

According to Technavio’s latest report on the industrial automation control market in Asia-Pacific (APAC) , top three emerging trends are driving the industrial automation control market in APAC:
  • Cloud-based supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems
  • Increased use of analytics
  • Growing use of programmable automation controllers (PACs)
For those who are unfamiliar, SCADA systems are installed to control and monitor sensors and transmitters installed in the facility. A controller or operator sits inside the facility and controls applications with the help of a human machine interface. 

Henceforth, with the integration of cloud computing technology with SCADA systems, operators can control applications via the Internet.

Industries are increasingly opting for analytical software solutions to help develop decision-making procedures. Automation vendors are incorporating analytics tools in SCADA and advanced process control (APC).

The integration of predictive modeling, forecasting, optimization, and statistical analysis in software such as SCADA and APC, has made it easy to identify and predict possible errors in the process. 

Technavio also reveals the growing use of PACs, where PACs combine the elements of a PC-based controller and a programmable logic controller (PLC), which is the foremost requirement of an automotive manufacturer.
