Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), process and machine control systems, automation and instrumentation are among the topics Control Engineering will advance in 2020, a year that suggests perfect vision and hindsight, as we mark 65 years in September 2019.
Control engineering seeks self-optimization by virtue of the control loop: measure, decide, actuate and repeat. In this 65th anniversary issue, we reflect what developments are shaping the future of control engineering, as we look ahead, with clarity of vision, to 2020, with help from subscribers and other industry experts.
A word cloud of next year’s editorial calendar emphasizes key areas:
- Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)
- Process and machine control systems
- Automation
- Instrumentation.
Learn; share knowledge
As we seek to learn from the past to optimize the present, think again about creating a brighter future by working with us to learn from and teach others. Our heartfelt thanks for all those the world over who have contributed these past 65 years. Learn how to shape the future at www.controleng.com/contribute and www.controleng.com/2020articles.
