PLC and industrial automation sit at the intersection of shop-floor needs and business information systems. Control requirements, operator interfaces, data collection and integrations form a connected whole.
Scope
- PLC control requirements and program structure
- HMI/SCADA interfaces and alarm workflows
- Sensor, device and shop-floor data collection
- OPC UA, Modbus TCP and MQTT integration topics
- Production data integration with ERP/MES
- IT/OT segmentation and controlled service access
Intended outcome
An integration approach with defined responsibilities and data flows between operational and business systems. Vendor and implementation scope are established for each project.
