Integration Technologies for Industrial Automated Systems
Edited by:
Publisher Note
If there
exists a single term that summarizes the key to success in modern
industrial automation, the obvious choice would be integration.
Integration is critical to aligning all levels of an industrial
enterprise and to optimizing each stratum in the hierarchy. While many
books focus on the technological components of enterprise information
systems, Integration Technologies for Industrial Automated Systems is
the first book to present a comprehensive picture of the technologies,
methodologies, and knowledge used to integrate seamlessly the various
technologies underlying modern industrial automation and information
systems.
In chapters drawn from two of Zurawski's popular works, The Industrial
Communication Technology Handbook and The Industrial Information
Technology Handbook, this practical guide offers tutorials, surveys,
and technology overviews contributed by experts from leading
industrial and research institutions from around the world. The book
is organized into sections for cohesive and comprehensive treatment.
It examines e-technologies, software and IT technologies,
communication network-based technologies, agent-based technologies,
and security in detail as well as their role in the integration of
industrial automated systems. For each of these areas, the
contributors discuss emerging trends, novel solutions, and relevant
standards.
