• Trends in industrial automation for 2018.
• Automation has totally revolutionized the
  industrial sector and has led to enhanced
  productivity, reduction in operation costs, and
  improved quality of production. Modern-day
  employees need to be well versed with the trends
  and concepts of automation as it is the vital
  tool for every industry.  Here are the top trends
  in the industrial automation that are expected to
  dominate in 2018
• 1.    Use of PDMS for enhanced efficiency and
  plant management
• Plant Design Management System or PDMS software
  is the first choice of most the oil and gas
  industries all across the globe. The software is
  accurate and is highly efficient as well as
  reliable in managing the complex processes in
  plants. 
• PDMS has simplified the pipeline design phase
  and is also helpful in reducing the time of
  fabrication. Automation with PDMS helps in
  keeping a check on the piping clashes with
  equipment. It also aids in generating accurate
  material take-off report thus its usage is
  expected to grow in 2018.

• 2. PLC for more efficient automation
• PLC or Programmable Logic Controller is being
  extensively used in the industries to monitor
  inputs, make decisions and to control the
  outputs. Apart from industrial purposes, they are
  also used for automating civil works like
  controlling traffic signals, controlling
  elevators and washing machines. PLCs are robust
  and have the tendency to withstand extreme
  temperatures, vibration, noise, and humidity, so
  more industries are using it. Furthermore, it
  yields maximum efficiency, reduces human efforts,
  and the operational cost.
• 3.  HMI to facilitate control from remote areas
• Most of the industries have human-machine
  interface platforms that work with the help of
  HMI software. The HMI software enables
  visualization of processes and efficient control
  and management of industrial operations.
  Industries are using HMI on machines, control
  rooms, handheld devices, factory floor machines
  and many other locations to increase the
  productivity. It enables the users to develop and
  deploy remote access screens to any remote
  device. Hence, it saves time and the remote users
  can access the data from their devices browser
  easily.

• 4. SCADA systems
• More and more industries are expected to adopt
  SCADA systems for remote monitoring and control
  of all their operations. These systems will be
  adopted as it is easy to upgrade or update the
  systems and they are even scalable, so adding
  additional resources is easy.
• The fact that SCADA can be seamlessly integrated
  with cloud makes it easy for the operators to
  control the industrial processes via the
  internet.
• 5.  AutoCAD
• The modern-day designers use AutoCAD software as
  it enhances their productivity as well as the
  quality of designs. It finds its application in
  various industries including construction,
  architectural, manufacturing, aerospace,
  shipbuilding, and automobile. In the coming time,
  more and more industries will lay emphasis on
  using the software.

• Industrial automation is a blooming though a
  constantly evolving field. It offers a plethora
  of opportunities to the young and dynamic
  candidates to make their career. However, to
  survive in this ever-changing and revolutionizing
  field, it is essential that the candidates
  possess sound technical know-how and ability to
  tackle challenges.
• MIT Skills offers Advanced Post Graduate Program
  in Industrial Automation and Control.  The course
  provides working knowledge of various automation
  software and entails awareness about all the
  latest trends in the industry. It is a
  job-oriented course that will surely prepare the
  candidates to step in this sector full of
  challenges.
