Future-Proof Plant Automation – Digitalization for the Process Industry

Future-Proof Plant Automation

September 20, 2023

Future-proof digitalization concepts are becoming increasingly important in the process industry.

Predictive maintenance, data-based process optimization, or targeted plant modularization are intended to increase efficiency, output, and availability. With automation technology from Beckhoff, you can flexibly digitalize your process plant.

The NOA concept offers flexible solutions for condition-based field device maintenance, which is particularly useful for brownfield applications, where the existing control architecture cannot be changed. Ethernet-APL is available as a new communication standard for fast data transmission for process technology applications. The modular MTP concept enables you to exploit the full potential of your plant throughout all phases, from planning to operation.

Beckhoff’s solutions for process industry 4.0:

  • continuous plant monitoring: NOA Edge Device for acquisition of all field device data
  • easy field device installation: ELX6233 for scalable Ethernet APL integration
  • flexible plant design: TwinCAT MTP for plant modularization
