In the world of industrial automation, true transformation begins at the core. While collaborative robots (cobs) capture attention with their dexterous movements, it is the intelligence within — the processor module — that orchestrates their role in reshaping industries. This critical component, built upon decades of DCS (Distributed Control System) engineering philosophy, does far more than execu...
In the process industry, Distributed Control Systems (DCS) are the "central nervous system" ensuring the safe and economical operation of factories. Traditionally, their reliability has been achieved primarily through hardware redundancy, regular maintenance, and strict management. However, with the deepening of digital transformation, reliability faces new challenges: cyberattacks, data silos, an...
