Abstract

IT innovations such as virtualisation, cloud computing and service based architectures are also contributing to automation technology. At the Namur General Meeting 2015, the Namur Working Group 2.11 Industrial IT/Process Control Technology presented a workshop contribution on Automation systems in the context of current IT development. The requirements of automation technology concerning life cycle concepts and reliability remain valid and need to be aligned with those trends. Here, the most significant aspects of those developments are outlined. Their advantages and risks will be discussed with the suppliers in 2016. The objective will be to provide users with recommendations and support.
