Addressing today’s Industrial Automation Challenges
The industrial automation market is facing unprecedented business pressures. To stay successful, three major trends must be addressed: the competitiveness of the global market which is driving the focus on cost reduction for both capital and operational expenses; increasing wired and wireless connectivity, the high value of data, and cyber terrorism are all driving a focus around security; and costs related to the possibility of bodily harm are driving demands for increased safety requirements. The Siemens Embedded Solution for Industrial Automation has been built to address these trends, enabling manufacturers of equipment for industrial automation to be competitive and relevant.
