The technology of intelligent factories is rapidly updating. To make the manufacturing process have the ability to judge, the basic components of the control system such as instruments, meters, and sensors are the focus of attention.
At present, the intelligence of instruments and meters is mainly based on the development and application of microprocessors and artificial intelligence technologies, including the use of artificial intelligence, expert systems, genetic algorithms, and evolutionary calculations, enabling the instrumentation to be highly efficient, versatile, and maneuverable. Flexibility and other performance.
In addition, as more and more embedded devices are connected to the factory's manufacturing processes, deploying control systems through cloud-based architecture is undoubtedly one of the most important trends today.
In the field of industrial automation, as applications and services shift to cloud computing, the major patterns of data and computing locations have changed, and this has also brought disruptive changes to the embedded device space. In the future, cloud computing will provide complete systems and services, and production equipment will no longer be a single, independent individual in the past. Once the connection is completed, all manufacturing rules may change.
In addition, the wirelessization of industrial communications is also a problem that is currently being investigated in smart factories. According to expert analysis, the application of wireless communication systems for factory automation worldwide will increase by about 40% annually. With the increasing popularity of wireless technologies, various vendors are providing a series of hardware and software technologies to help increase communication capabilities in products.
Experts believe that although wireless technology has considerable advantages over wired technology in terms of implementation convenience, the current improvements in wireless technology, reliability, certainty and immediacy, and compatibility have yet to be strengthened and improved.
