The opening wave of industrial transformation

The open automation represented by the Schneider Electric EcoStruxure open automation platform brings at least three advantages to users in the industrial field: the computing power of industrial control systems is stronger and more efficient, the deployment cost of industrial control systems is lower and the flexibility is stronger, in addition, information security is also guaranteed.

1791DS-IB8XOB8 This advantage is the ability base for the industry to rush to the future industry, if there is no such ability base, how can the industry talk about the information data and wisdom of many links such as supply, manufacturing, sales? This means that the integration of information technology led by open automation will be an inevitable trend for industry to join the digital wave, which is unstoppable and irreversible.

For the industry, open automation means to break through barriers, gather multi-party forces, and jointly make the market larger. Once upon a time, Android system realized the separation and decoupling of hardware and software through the virtual abstraction layer, and application developers only needed a programming interface to achieve software creation suitable for the operating system, which opened a big era of application market and led to the vigorous growth of the smart phone market.

The open automation in the industrial field allows the industrial system 1791DS-IB8XOB8  to be divided into pieces, and through the decoupling of software and hard, each component and module can maximize their efficiency, and can be closely combined when necessary, which creates a larger iterative space for all suppliers in the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, and has the opportunity to bring the core advantages to the extreme. In the open atmosphere of the industry as a whole, the application landing cost of enterprises has shrunk significantly, the implementation of restrictions has been greatly reduced, and it is easier to achieve integration and interoperability cooperation, and market opportunities and commercial space will usher in bright growth.

For cross-industry integration, open automation is also an imperative action. At present, AI large models, deep learning, cloud computing, 5G communication and other cutting-edge technologies are developing rapidly, and all human society is experiencing an unprecedented digital and intelligent transformation. As the industry that is bound and integrated with the modern social infrastructure, the industrial field should build a 1791DS-IB8XOB8 more standardized, more open, and more compatible automation architecture in order to efficiently undertake the technological achievements from other industries in the future smart world.

Only a more open future industry can further achieve IT/OT integration, establish a highly flexible personalized and digital production model of products and services, keep up with the evolution of information technology in the digital era, and land the idea of industrial Internet and future industry.

IT cannot be denied that on the journey of integrating IT technology with the industrial world, industry players have demonstrated their abilities, and what is the optimal solution has not yet been determined. However, Schneider Electric saw the opening trend in the given future, polished a set of products equipped with it, and continued to iterate on it.

In the 19th century, Schneider Electric established itself in the steel industry, 1791DS-IB8XOB8 heavy machinery, ship construction and other industries. In the 20th century, the power and automation management industry became its strategic center business; In the 21st century, Schneider Electric has entered the field of energy management and automation to open new challenges, and with the prominence of the digital wave has decisively become a driver of industrial transformation of hardware and software integration.

In the development of 188 years, Schneider Electric has faced numerous challenges, and has made several major strategic choices, and finally successfully completed the leap with core technical strength and forward-looking research and judgment, and gradually went to the position of industry leader. For open automation, Schneider Electric will also become an important member of promoting the progress of history – open automation will be an inevitable trend of the future industry, and the participation and integration of enterprises is only a matter of time, but the earlier the intervention, the faster it will seize the opportunity of The Times.
