Workstation 'virtualization' takes process development off-line

August 22, 2012

When a production plant looks to install a process-control system, specifying the computer workstations is one of the first jobs done. Besides eventually being used by operators to manage production, the workstations initially are the platform for process development, fitting the software template to the specific application. Sizeable projects, even then, can run 18 months or more prior to process certification.

Title: Notes on the history of automation

August 6, 2012

How process-control automaton has transformed the industrial world over the last 30 years – although widely recognized – remains a great untold story. While almost everyone is familiar with the handful of individuals who envisioned the PC, dozens of near equally important advances have been accomplished by highly talented, near-anonymous individuals.
