PC-Based Automation Market Size, Share & Trends | 2022–27
Market Overview
The PC-based automation market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.66% over the forecast period (2021–2026). Automation systems that are being deployed need to be networked, require more data storage, and should have the capability of communicating with each other through an open standard. PCs are suitable for this kind of deployment, as they are designed to undertake tasks like data storage, communication, and number crunching. This factor is leading to a trend where industrial PCs are being used as automation controllers, integrate the functioning of PLC-Control and open PC-Architecture on a single industrial device.
- PC-based automation systems have significant applications in open-loop and closed-loop control in mechanical engineering, visualization in the food and beverage industry, measuring and testing in the automotive industry, and data processing and communication in the semiconductor and electronics industries.
- Moreover, the introduction of sensor gateways that enable the high-speed transfer of sensor status, parameter, and diagnostics data, accompanied by enterprise-level or cloud-based systems, is enabling the introduction of the Internet of Things (IoT) in the manufacturing setups. In February 2020, SICKunveiled its SIG200 ProfiNet Sensor Integration Gateway that is designed to integrate sensor data transparently into higher level systems.
- However, restraining factors, like growing cybersecurity risks, may affect the growth of the market over the forecast period. The use of common technologies, like Ethernet/TCP/IP, Microsoft Windows, and Intel PC-based computers, in industries means that vital process and production control systems can be exposed to security threats and spams that corporate IT departments have been exposed to earlier.
Scope of the Report
PC-based automation is an industrial control system that utilizes a PC designed to act as a control platform. Industrial plants with requirements of high processing speed, precise and accurate measurement and quality control systems, benefit from the computing power and openness of PC-based automation systems, which resulted in its increased adoption across the industry verticals.
