Equipping the hardy heroes of automation engineering with new tools
Welcome to the factory of the future! What you’re looking at is the inside of a PLC cabinet. It’s the nervous system of every factory: the rack of programmable logic controllers that automate robots, assembly lines, and industrial manufacturing processes. Every car, pill, and shampoo bottle produced today was moved through the factory by a rack like this one. As chips have become more powerful, PLCs have become powerful computers themselves, running millions of lines of code. At the cutting edge of factory automation, they are even capable of running edge AI models. With hundreds of new AI…
