Abstract

Together, the technology push provided by production IT and the market pull resulting from demographic change are generating a high innovation rate for automation technology in process industries. A key topic among Operational Excellence activities is Remote Operations, i.e. the advanced automation and the remote operational control of plants. As a result of such developments and the progress of Industry 4.0, increasing tensions are developing between automation and IT.
