Industrial control systems are a network of interconnected equipment
that are used for supervising and controlling physical equipment in
several industrial environments. These systems include numerous
control systems such as supervisory control and data acquisition
(SCADA) systems, distributed control systems (DCS), and programmable
logic controllers (PLC). They are primarily used for remote
supervision, process automation, and critical infrastructure
automation. SCADA systems are employed for obtaining data from
remotely placed devices such as transmitters, pumps, and valves,
among others. These systems help in gathering data from faraway
devices and transferring it to the master control unit for enhancing
control. Distributed control systems or DCS are interlinked networks
that ease the controlling activity of several processes that may be
spread out over facilities. On the other hand, programmable logic
controllers are deployed for making electromechanical processes such
as controlling assembly lines in a factory, machinery, or light
fixtures automatic.
The global industrial controls system market has been flourishing due
to the growing entry of automation in the industrial sector and the
increasing trend of remote supervision in several manufacturing
facilities. Analysts predict the increasing software application in
industrial control devices is expected to increase the market shares
of PLS, DCS, and SCADA systems in the industrial environment. Some of
the other factors expected to contribute towards the growth of the
global industrial controls systems market are the emerging economies
of Indonesia, India, and China, which are making heavy investments in
automation and industrial infrastructure. The SCADA segment will
witness a stupendous growth rate due to increasing demand for the
same in sectors such as food and beverages, oil and gas, and
chemicals.
The global industrial controls system market has been segmented on
the basis of types, components, applications, and geography. The
types of industrial controls systems are programmable logic
controller (PLC), distributed control system (DCS), and supervisory
control and data acquisition (SCADA). The components in the global
industrial controls system market are programmable logic controller
(PLC), human machine interface (HMI), remote terminal unit (RTU),
SCADA communication systems, and others. The applications of
industrial controls system market are seen in industries such as
automotive, pharmaceutical, oil and gas, electrical power, and water
and waste management. Geographically, this global industrial controls
system market is spread over areas such as North America, Europe,
Asia Pacific, and Rest of the World. Some of the key players
operating in the global industrial controls system market are Emerson
Electric Co, Siemens AG, Alstom SA, ABB Ltd, Rockwell Automation,
Inc., Omron Corp, Honeywell International, Inc, and Omron Corp.
