About DCS
A DCS is an automated control system that, rather than being centralized, is distributed across the entire organization. The DCS is distributed in such a way that each component or sub-system of a manufacturing plant is controlled by one or more controllers, thereby providing instructions to different parts of the plant. Thus, instead of having a centrally located control system, each section of the plant has its own control operations. DCS solutions enable the effective and efficient control and management of the entire plant. Furthermore, they reduce downtime errors and increase productivity of the plant. The DCS solutions are adopted by various industries such as Power, Pharmaceuticals, Oil and Gas, Pulp and Paper, Food and Beverage, Chemical, Automotive, and Packaging.
TechNavio's analysts forecast the DCS market in the Americas to grow at a CAGR of 2.10 percent over the period 2013-2018.
