Even though the early adoption of industrial Ethernet has shown marginal productivity gains (+22%) and reduction in maintenance costs (-40%), System Integrators and Plant Engineers are still hesitant for its all-out implementation. But why? Today, traditional control systems can use only 3% of data from plant assets, and are unable to cater for the dynamic business requirements. Out of date systems often run into problems due to limited capabilities, and are always at risk to security loopholes. Therefore, in order to gain an edge over the competition and retain productivity levels, it is essential that companies start moving towards the direction of software-defined machines that are smart enough to adapt to varying process outputs.
