Industrial processing equipment has quickly scaled from analog instruments to smart systems that diagnose and analyze real-time situations and scenarios on the plant floor, cueing reactions from ICSs or alerted engineers. These automation technologies may not have the 'star power' of advanced robotics or digital simulations, but are the central nervous system to the smart factory's anatomy. Here are four stories from the recent GlobalSpec archives that were popular with readers and help illustrate this idea.
