Evolution of IIoT to Augment the Global PC-Based Automation Market During the Forecast Period

Pune, India, October, 2018 /press release/- Market Research Future Published a Half-Cooked Research Report on PC-Based Automation Market Research Report

Market Scenario

The global PC-based automation market is presumed to expand at 5 % CAGR during the forecast period (2017-2023) owing to the growth in evolution of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), asserts Market Research Future (MRFR). PC-based automation offers several advantages to industries like maintaining network of different controllers, transferring data of automation to other PC, generating graphs with visualization of reports and others. A PC-based solution executed in order to fetch data from several controllers to transfer data at processing layer which can be processed by ERP and MES layers. PC-based automation comprises four major parts namely PC-based controller, industrial PC, software package, and embedded controller.

Drivers and Constraints Impacting the Market

With the rapid advancement in technology, the automation sector has converted from the traditional approach of building machines to using Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC). The advent of Industry 4.0 and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) are creating a huge impact on the automation sector which drives business players to offer innovative features to their customers. Such innovations in manufacturing industries are developed to reduce operational expenditures and reduce capital. Such factors are likely to propel the market growth over the assessment period.

PC-based solutions are engaged with automation-related acquisition software where end-users require precise, accurate, and enhanced productivity associated with cost-effective solution. The growing challenge for business enterprises is to offer advanced solutions to the end-users and achieve low-cost expenditure. To counter this problem, manufacturing players are implementing PC-based automation with various software in order to achieve high performance. Also, manufacturing industries are implementing PC-based systems to reduce hardware components in their systems, which is further driving the global market.

On the flip side, rising concern to offer better connectivity to increase the performance of enterprise resource planning and manufacturing execution system of any industrial system is considered to retard the market growth for PC-based automation during the forecast period. Moreover, high investment cost about the implementation of PC-based automation solutions and fluctuating crude oil prices are likely to inhibit the market growth in the coming years.
