Industrial Automation Can Help Critical Manufacturers Adjust to Disruptions Like COVID-19
As the pandemic sent shockwaves through economies and supply chains across the world this year, manufacturers in critical sectors were forced to adjust quickly. To better weather unexpected crises, as well as industry shifts beyond COVID-19, manufacturers need to increase flexibility and resiliency in their supply chains. Increased automation and data availability in the plant can help.
Security Cells Protect Against Cyber Threats
Connectivity between production and automation systems in process manufacturing and the Internet is constantly increasing. In order to fully protect manufacturing systems against cyberattack, B&R has further enhanced the user management features of the APROL process control system. Distributed, autonomous security cells provide simple yet efficient protection for systems against malicious software and attacks from hackers.
Intelligent Building Automation
PC-based control technology from Beckhoff, which has already been used successfully for almost three decades in all areas of industrial automation, has become an integral component of intelligent building automation. The demands on the intelligence of buildings have increased constantly in recent years, such that the energy efficiency as well as a good “return on investment” is the priority.
