Today, manufacturing processes have become a lot more efficient due to the Internet of Things (IoT), Intelligent Automation, Advanced Robotics and other Smart Factory initiatives. Despite rapid changes in technology, PLCs continue to play a vital role in manufacturing and act as a central processor for all real-time decisions. For instance, a PLC sends robust data, including sensor performance and other data that can be integrated with cloud computing to give a more holistic picture, i.e. a collection of “big data.” Analysis tools can then help plant managers and others to better leverage resources, batch scheduling of jobs, logistics, supplier timing, and other functions that are critical to creating more efficient manufacturing processes.

PLCs have adapted well to modern manufacturing and automation systems. With no competitor on the horizon and solid fundamentals, PLCs and PLC programmers will continue to play an integral role in the manufacturing process.

Looking into Industry 4.0 career opportunities, Scientech has designed a unique Multiple Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) WorkBench. Scientech 2482 WorkBench includes PLCs from Siemens, Mitsubishi, Fatek, Delta, ABB, Allen Bradely, Omron, Schneider Electric, and Wecon.
