AUTOMATION 2023 Volume 1: IIoT & Industry 4.0

New Year, New (and Tried and True) Optimizations

In this January edition of AUTOMATION 2023, you’ll find various use cases for familiar tools and equipment, as well as technologies that industries are just starting to incorporate. We explore a mix of traditional and nascent methods that lead to big savings along the way to Industry 4.0. Put long-life lithium batteries in the field for drastic IIoT-enabled savings on expensive labor costs. Use IIoT-ready gauging systems that deliver valuable data to keep plants up and running.

Bring order to distributed data using GraphQL. See how a plastics recycler is rethinking plant design by creating a new digital community. Read about how digital twins are being used to increase efficiency at energy storage plants. As always, we look forward to your feedback on what you enjoyed, what was new to you, and what you’d like to see in future AUTOMATION ebooks.
