Process management tomorrow

• Technology Push
• Embedded process management through integrating
  process, machinery and automation knowhow
• IT and automation networks merge into one network
• Smart sensors and actuators with condition
  monitoring capabilities
• Best experts always close to you through remote
  diagnostics
• Mobile user interface provides freedom
• InternetWirelessInternet everywhere

• Market Pull
• Minimize operational costs
• Maximized return on assets through lifecycle
  management
• Focus on core competencies
• IT and automation as a competitive tool to
  streamline processes
• Eco-efficiency

There always needs to be a market demand and
justification to use technology as a tool to
implement applications that provide the return on
investment required by normal business practice.

Distruptive or emerging technologies from
automation technology point of view

• General ICT development rules
• Consumer driven hardware technology development
  dominates
• PC and other commercial hardware
• Hardware to be seen predominantly as a resource
  and not as a major potential to make money
• Defacto standards rule the world
• Ethernet replaces fieldbuses (except for EXi
  environments)
• Importance of software
• Software architecture is really the future
  automation application architecture
• Safety and Security coming more into picture

Intelligent Control Valve
Simplified construction means easy, low cost
maintenance - quarter turn, pneumatic actuator
Protected from environment - dirt, water,
vibration, electromagnetic.
Contactless position sensor - no wear
Rugged material - metal seats, special coatings
Electronics can be updated - follow the latest
technology (e.g. FF, Profibus PA)
