Plant Intelligent Automation and Digital Transformation : MIS and HW-SW Implementation

Plant Intelligent Automation and Digital Transformation: Volume II: Control and Monitoring Hardware and Software is an expansive four volume collection that reviews every major aspect of the intelligent automation and digital transformation of power, process and manufacturing plants, including specific control and automation systems pertinent to various power process plants using manufacturing and factory automation systems. The volume reviews the key role of management Information systems (MIS) in plant automation in systemic digitalization, covering hardware and software implementations for embedded microcontrollers, FPGA and operator and engineering stations.

Chapters address plant lifecycle considerations, inclusive of plant hazards and risk analysis. Finally, the book discusses industry 4.0 factory automation as a component of digitalization strategies as well as digital transformation of power plants, process plants and manufacturing industries.

• Reviews supervisory control and data acquisitions (SCADA) systems for real-time plant data analysis
• Provides practitioner perspectives on operational implementation, including human machine interface, operator workstation and engineering workstations
• Covers alarm and alarm management systems, including lifecycle considerations
• Fully covers risk analysis and assessment, including safety lifecycle and relevant safety instrumentation
