Revolutionizing Industry: Real Time Industrial Automation using Embedded Systems

Abstract

Embedded systems are the unsung heroes of innovation today across all of our industries, in a rapidly changing technological landscape. Small, versatile computing technologies are helping to revolutionize the way in which industrial automation is approached, leading to smarter, more efficient, more responsive manufacturing processes. And as we get into embedded systems 
and how embedded systems are changing the face of real time industrial automation, we’ll talk about how embedded systems are taking control and shaping the future of manufacturing and putting us on the path to Industry 4.0. With the embedding of systems in industrial automation comes the shift of a paradigm, from which has come unprecedented levels of precision and control, and efficiency of manufacturing processes. Thanks to the industrial revolution, embedded systems are also a beginning to streamline production lines, improve quality control or simplify supply chain management. Harnessing the power of these intelligent, purpose-built computing solutions allows industries to optimize operations, but also helps to discover innovative and competitive insights that will strengthen global market position. In our journey to fully understand embedded systems in industrial automation, we’ll 
discover the main motivations behind the ever growing uptake of embedded systems, see how they are implemented in multiple applications across various sectors, and gain a glimpse into the future of this pioneering technology. Over the next few chapters, strap yourselves in as we make our way through the complex territory of embedded systems, examining their role in the reconfiguration of industrial automation, chip by chip.
