Increasing profitability in industrial processes generally depends on a corresponding increase in efficiency, an operational parameter that many companies have found hard to achieve with traditional approaches. To up the profitability ante, enterprises have begun turning to programmable automation controls and optimization software. In my article in Controls, Drives & Automation, I explore the issue of increasing manufacturing efficiency with data analytics, including these key points:

• The latest generation of programable automation control systems provides enhanced productivity and security to any operation.
• The ability of hardware virtualization techniques to run multiple operating systems in tandem provides a new approach to the optimization of control processes.
• When OEMs can remotely and securely collect and analyze data, they can easily provide actionable information for maintenance engineers.
