Control Engineering’s top 5 pieces of content over the past two week include this year’s system integrator of the year winners, DCS migration and digitalization’s growing role in process manufacturing.

1. Systems integrators apply technology to very human endeavors

As the workplace changes, the integration imperative persists and leads to innovation for the System Integrator of the Year winners.

2. The time is now for systems integrators

Labor and skills shortages justify increased automation; SIs occupy key position in today’s supply chains; SI Giants embrace the opportunities.

3. Disruption-free DCS migration benefits

Migration from old to new distributed control systems (DCS) can be achieved in a risk-free and pain-free way.

4. How digitalization’s growing role, impact is changing process manufacturing

Digitalization is changing manufacturing and the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) is going to help fuel those changes. See video.

5. How to meet industrial sustainability with automation, processes, people

Measurements and information sharing are important for meeting industrial sustainability goals: If an organization is struggling to meet 2025 goals, then 2030 is at risk. Advanced technology integration of automation and control systems, artificial intelligence and digital transformation can help adjust processes and empower people to move more quickly.
