INDUSTRIAL CONTROLS AND ROBOTIC MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

Based on type the market can be categorized into Industrial Control Systems, Field Devices and Manufacturing Execution Systems.

• Industrial Control Systems- Industrial Control Systems are the behind the automation systems in production plants and consist of equipment and applications used to supervise and manage industrial processes and equipment.

• Field Devices- Field devices are installations, which are placed at various sections of the industrial processes to measure and control physical attributes. These devices connect themselves with the Industrial control systems for the purpose of acquiring and relaying information and also acting on control signals.

• Manufacturing Execution Systems- MES are electronic systems that deal with a centralized or distributed control and regulation of production activities at the FLO. Manufacturing execution systems are the link between the ERP and a manufacturing company’s operations; they offer real-time monitoring, managing, and tracking of production activities.

By Application

Based on application the market can be categorized into Power, Textiles, Automotive, Chemicals, Printing and Packaging, Plastics, Oil and Gas, Pharmaceuticals, Food Processing and Semiconductors.

• Power- In the generation and distribution of powers for industries, the uses of industrial controls to control and oversee important procedures like those of the turbines, the power grid, and the integration of power from the renewable sources of energy. In maintenance activities, inspection of power systems and handling of toxic materials there is use of Robotics.

• Textiles-Instrumentation controls are used on machines used in textile production including spinning, weaving, dyeing and finishing. Automated robot is use for material handling, quality inspection and positioning and packaging hence reducing on wastage and inconsistency.

• Automotive- Industries control is significant in automotive manufacturing since it is used to control the assembly line as well as robotic welders, and robotic arms for part handling. Activities such as welding, painting, assembly, and quality control are most efficiently done by Robotics as there is no deviation from the standard practice.

• Chemicals- Batch control and chemical reaction control, safety systems in chemical industries are handled by Industrial controls. Robotics is involved in the automation of working with bulk material, blending, and packaging activities with improved safety and productivity outcomes.

• Printing and Packaging- Industrial controls use mechanisms to efficiently manage parameters that range from ink usage, speed, and position in printing industries’ presses. Packaging lines are semi-automated or fully automated through robotics systems that deal with sorting, labeling, palletizing, and quality inspection.

• Plastics-In plastics manufacturing technology, the industrial controls are used in controlling the injection molding machines, extruder machines and temperature control systems. Robotic activities are involved in mold handling, part picking, trimming, and checking of quality thus minimize on variations.

• Oil and Gas-Industrial controls are used to control industrial processes in oil refineries, pipeline networks and offshore platforms concerning production, safety programs and impacts on the environment. Robotics perform inspection of pipelines, maintenance in hazardous environments, and drilling operations.

• Pharmaceuticals- The strict pharmaceutical regulations as well as production processes like mixing, granulation, drying, packaging, and others are managed by industrial controls. Robotic systems help in operations involving the movement of materials, administering medication, and quality control involving precise movements with the reduction of contamination.

• Food Processing- Industrial controls ensure cleanliness and control the methods of cooking, blending, freezing, and packaging foods in food processing facilities. Robots are used for processes like sorting, cutting, packaging, palletizing, and any food that goes through any of these phases is exposes to robots hence its safety.

• Semiconductors- In semiconductor manufacturing, industrial controls exist in cleanroom, where the control of cleanroom and processes such as wafer fabrication, deposition, etching, testing and others are helped. There are functions of handling wafers, assembling components and inspection, the robots ensure high yield and quality.

DRIVING FACTORS
