How do Embedded Systems Power Industrial Automation?

By Embedded Advisor | Tuesday, December 29, 2020

Embedded systems can today be found in the role of automation enablers in industries. As industrial automation becomes the norm, embedded systems are becoming crucial additions to modern industries.

FREMONT, CA: Today, embedded systems play a variety of roles in an industrial ecosystem. From controlling power efficiency to maximizing performance, systems consisting of microprocessors and memory chips are playing crucial roles in facilitating complex industrial operations. The scope for automation in an industrial facility depends on the availability of intelligent infrastructure. By delivering integrated hardware and software, embedded systems are becoming ideal for use in automated systems. As industries set eyes on increased productivity, the following functionalities of embedded systems are going to impact automation.

Automating machine controls are vital for over automation in any industry. To automate machine control, embedded systems are deployed at various points in an industrial facility to carry out a spectrum of tasks. The control of assembly lines forms one of the most critical operations in industries. Embedded systems can help automate the controls for assembly-line speed. Similarly, embedded systems can help adjust fluid flow rates and gear ratios across machines. By integrating industrial embedded systems into machine controls, it is possible to centralize operations, which subsequently drives up the scope for intelligent automation. With embedded system-powered automation, maintenance and handling of machines become convenient, thereby resulting in improved production quality. 

Another way in which embedded systems is powering industrial automation is by enabling machine monitoring. With machine monitoring systems, it is possible to accumulate data regarding the performance of a machine in real-time. The accumulated data can be subsequently conveyed through alerts, reports, and dashboards. By leveraging this data, industrial performance can be assessed, and productivity can be improved. Embedded systems are equipped with the ability to determine metrics like power, pressure, temperature, and vibrations, making them ideal for industrial applications.

The role of embedded systems in influencing smart, automated industries of the present and the future is irrefutable.
