What is the development trend of industrial automation?

With the rapid development of manufacturing industry and industrial automation, the changes of market and technology have influenced the direction of industrial automation. However, relying on the user's use needs and usage habits, it is undoubtedly the mainstream choice for many industrial automation suppliers to move towards practicality.
The choice of industrial automation suppliers has made progress towards practical application. The development goal of the enterprise is the actual use demand of users. It not only brings direct economic benefits, but also lays a foundation for the technological research and development, innovation and further development of the enterprise.
With the development of industrial automation technology to practical, the mainstream products of automation have changed under the premise of constantly meeting the needs of users: as the mainstream control products in the field of industrial control, PLC still occupies the leading position of control system, and is developing towards miniaturization, openness and networking; DCS, as a typical system of process control, has been developing positively and more, and plays an increasingly important role in the integration of management and control; IPC has won the favor of users with its flexible and open characteristics; CNC is not only used in machine tools, but also extends to a wider range of fields. It is not difficult to see that the change of products is the result of adapting to the needs of customers.
From the perspective of product development, automation products are also developing in a diversified direction according to the actual needs of customers. On the one hand, the automation supplier can develop various automation products for users, and the products can integrate various automation functions and meet the different needs of many customers in structure; On the other hand, it will also provide customers with simple automation products to meet the single needs of users; At the same time, for the users of a certain industry, automation suppliers will also go deep into the industry and launch products that are more in line with the characteristics of the industry.
The automation to the practical can be confirmed from many aspects. From the perspective of usage, the enterprises and products of industrial automation have increased their input in the field of deepening the industry. According to the survey of users concerned, the automation level has been improved obviously in textile machinery, packaging machinery, plastic machinery, electric power, petrochemical, metallurgy, automobile, electronics and machine tools. In these industries, automatic control technology is generally adopted in new mechanical equipment, and the level of industrial automation in mechanical equipment is improving, And it presents a variety of needs.
With the development and change of industrial automation technology and the acceleration of practicability, the function of automation system is increasing gradually and the function becomes more and more abundant. Besides controlling the production process, it also undertakes the task of sending the production process information to the management system of the enterprise and even the two-way supply chain of both sides, and further combines with the dynamic information of international "need" and "supply". This determines that the traditional closed system mode must be improved to realize the "new" automation system characterized by openness, intelligence and role diversity.
For end users, the positive side is not only that, under the promotion of customer-oriented sales principles, the sales and after-sales service of kerienplc automatic products are more humanized. Of course, there are more and more detailed factors in the specialization division of labor in the big environment. With the specialization division of labor more and more fine, and the automation technology obviously improves, the user's expectation of sales and after-sales service is also the content that the automation supplier must consider in these service items. Providing customers with package project has become a fashion trend in automation industry.
