About Distributed Control System (DCS)
Automation technologies represent a fundamental aspect of any modern industry. The major types of industrial automation solutions, such as DCS, PLC, SCADA, and MES, are used on a large-scale in process and discrete industries.
DCS technologies offer a range of solutions that are designed to control and monitor industrial production. These solutions are widely used across process industries in line with the general trend of using automation to increase overall efficiency and functioning. These systems also offer intelligent command capabilities that allow end-users easily control and supervise plant operations. The use of DCS also reduces the safety threats in hazardous operating environments, and ensures smooth functioning of plant and industrial machinery. It serves to harmonize complex industrial processes with minimum downtime. In addition, the use of IoT and the advances in M2M communications have helped expand the application scope of DCS technologies in factories.
Technavios analysts forecast the global DCS market to grow at a CAGR of 3.51% during the period 2016-2020.
