چکیده
CHRISTIAn ZEIDLER – Control systems that automate and manage production are at the heart of process industries. These systems are networks of interconnected sensors, actuators, controllers and computers, often distributed across vast processing plants that help manufacturers run their operations safely and cost-effectively, minimizing waste and ensuring consistent product quality. In the past three decades, ABB's innovations have dramatically improved industrial productivity by expanding traditional automated control to provide a common platform for a plant's entire operations, from engineering to process optimization and asset management.
