The History of Industrial Automation

Peggy Smedley and Peter Martin, industrial performance consultant, talk about how to progress with industrial automation going forward. He says if you look at the history of the industry, the answer lies there. Manufacturers understood that the best way to make their facilities run better was to measure them better and then control what you are measuring. They also discuss: Control theory and if it has gone as far as it can go or not. Safety and how it impacts reliability, cost, business efficiency, and environmental factors.
