How leading machine builders succeed with PC-based control for machine automation

Leading machine builders are increasingly choosing PC-based control systems over traditional PLCs to overcome the skilled labour shortage, optimize hardware costs, and accelerate build cycles leveraging a scalable platform.

In this guide, we explore the benefits of PC-based control for machine automation and how industry leaders are leveraging this technology to enhance production and meet the demand for more sophisticated automation. 

What you'll learn:

 How PC-based control systems, equipped with state-of-the-art multi-core processors, outperform traditional PLCs

 Why centralizing control through a single industrial PC (IPC) is a game changer and drives substantial cost savings and simplifies operations

 How a software-centric approach enables adaptable machine automation

 How the flexibility of PC-based control impacts talent and access to diverse skill sets.

How PC-based control systems are leading the way with Industry 4.0.
