High levels of precision and accuracy are indispensable for meeting targets.<\/p><p>In my eyes, this first impression is a constant for process facilities everywhere. Because of that, the technology deployed to control and monitor what happens in the field must measure up to the task. Such is the purpose of the automation structure.<\/p><p>Going by the book, the automation structure consists of sensors, controllers, HMIs, and software working together to automate the process. When linked to mechanical components such as valves and manifolds, the process becomes more reliable. Thus, the capacity to maintain uptime while avoiding accidents or incidents improves.<\/p><p>For plant operators, this is the foundation to ensure resilience, safety, and efficiency.<\/p><p>Since the automation structure devices are dispersed around the process plant, tons of information is available for reading and analysis. The amount is so overwhelming that it can be easy for plant operators to miss critical warning signs.<\/p><p>What can be done to solve this issue?<\/p><p>The front-runner option that I recommend is implanting a remote access framework.<\/p><p>Here is a solution that lets stakeholders act in unison without disturbance. Consequently, the cooperation between vendors, system integrators, and even maintenance teams strengthen.

The catch is that it works alongside the classic automation pyramid we all know and love while enabling cutting-edge technologies such as big data, IIoT, cloud computing, and Industry 4.0.<\/p><p>As you can expect, the benefits of the old model remain as new technologies get into the mix. This is possible through an action mechanism backed by precision-defined data channels.<\/p><p>In NOA, field devices like sensors and actuators get linked to a &#8220;secondary communication channel.&#8221; Such a portal is open for digital data export and sharing. IT secures the whole exchange process without affecting the original automation structure.
