Plant & Facilities Engineering
Overview
For plant and facility managers across the manufacturing and processing spectrum, the opportunity for dramatic and beneficial improvement in terms of production, operating costs and emissions has never been greater. Emerging technologies such as industrial wireless, cloud computing, robotics and machine vision, plus smart phones and tablets are changing the very nature of the factory floor. Perhaps more significant is the convergence of manufacturing and business intelligence. Asset performance management, based on factory floor data collection and analysis, will become a key factor in determining plant management strategies.
