From Closed to Open Automation: A Technical Revolution Toward a Global Industrial Future
Detail
Key technologies: 5G, TSN, edge-cloud collaboration, IEC 61499, OPC UA, and containerized AI inference.
Traditional PLC-based black-box control creates data silos, network barriers, and compute bottlenecks.
Software-defined control decouples logic from hardware, enabling flexible manufacturing and faster innovation.
Platforms like Schneider Electric's EcoStruxure EAE platform leverage open standards and multi-vendor ecosystems to accelerate deployment.
Combine industrial 5G + TSN for deterministic networking with wide-area wireless coverage.
Use cloud-edge orchestration to place AI inference where latency and reliability demand it.
Adopt IEC 61499 and OPC UA to make control and data interoperable across vendors and systems.
