The Next Generation Of Industrial Automation:
In a recent article from Schneider Electric, it was reported that the separation of automation hardware from software is revolutionizing businesses. This decoupling allows companies to deploy automation on platforms that best suit their needs, enabling more informed decisions and better adaptability to the evolving demands of consumers in the post-pandemic world. This shift also facilitates a smoother transition into Industry 4.0 and beyond, fostering greater efficiency and innovation in the industrial sector through new forms of virtualization.
In traditional IT, virtualization involves setting up multiple virtual machines on a single server. Similarly, in industrial automation, virtualization signifies a move from physical to virtual processes. This digital transformation enables tasks previously reliant on combined hardware and software to become more virtual, enhancing operational efficiency and advancing automation paradigms.
