3 Obstacles Between Industrial Companies and Plant Automation

Many industrial plants have legacy equipment and software plants that weren’t designed to work with modern automation, data, or AI – or to handle demands associated with digital transformations. Information that is collected in legacy platforms isn’t easily translated to newer platforms, which makes gaining real-time insights for operational improvements difficult.

While the challenges that arise when getting legacy and newer systems working in tandem can vary from plant to plant, three common hurdles arise in most situations. They are:

· Integrating legacy systems with modern operations

· Bringing different systems and protocols together

· Using the right pace when planning a digital transformation

Read this blog by our parent company, Belden, to discover ways to overcome these obstacles.
