Industrial automation and information technology have advanced rapidly since 1980. Control systems for millions of processes have migrated from mechanization in the early 20th century to microprocessor-driven systems to AI-designed and driven operations. Designers of today’s systems continually look backward when planning the interconnection among intelligent systems, sensors, and humans in the loop.
This book proposes a future forward approach to these interconnections to address this “forgotten middle.”
Adopters of this enlightened approach yield:
• Significant improvement in system integrity and interoperability
• Digital visibility of every field device
• Fulfillment of the promise of closed loop digital twins
• Remarkable reduction in labor to assemble, integrate & maintain
• Democratized component selection based on global industry standards
• Dramatic reduction in total cost of ownership
• Rapid configurability and re-configurability
• An intelligent and manageable cybersecurity architecture
Being super connected informs greenfield and brownfield efforts, leveraging existing systems and infrastructure.
