ARC Report Abstract

At ARC Advisory Group's thirteenth India Forum in Bangalore in July 2015, several supplier presentations focused on optimizing plant operations through process automation. Today's industrial business environment is more dynamic and challenging than ever. New technologies, such as the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), predictive analytics, cloud computing, and Industrie 4.0 will automate and unify production and business processes.

This ARC Insight focuses on the informative presentations by Schneider Electric highlighting the user benefits of the company's process automation technologies; the FDT Group, which spoke about FDT and OPC UA as Building Blocks for Industrie 4.0; and ARC Advisory Group, summarizing the results of a recent survey on geographic information systems (GIS) adoption in India.

New Technologies for Business Improvement
Kalpesh Desai, Sales Director – Process Automation, Schneider Electric, spoke about energy management through automation, which he believes has gone beyond the "hype" stage and is now mature enough for all companies to implement. Mr. Desai discussed how companies can calculate the operating cost of an asset (of which energy represents a major component) and how this contributes to total lifecycle cost, which is more important than the upfront investment.
