Demand for industrial control and factory automation is increasing because of the rapidly changing pattern of consumption and production of goods and services

The implementation of industrial control and factory automation in factories is growing at a rapid pace. The demand for industrial control and factory automation is increasing across verticals because of the rapidly changing pattern of consumption and production of goods and services. The adoption of smart field devices such as industrial robots and technology is being done to address the defect at the production level. Similarly, a large number of field devices such as sensors and technologies, are being used in the power sector where electricity is produced and transmitted to distribution systems to minimize power-loss, with the usage of such tools.

Industrial control and factory automation not only improves safety measures and but also helps companies realize zero waste in production and sustainability. The industrial control and factory automation market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.73% between 2015 and 2020.
