Many plants maintain systems that have been in service for over three decades, often resulting in data silos and operational inefficiencies. Organizations frequently manage varying levels of automation across different locations, even within the same company, while facing pressure to integrate modern digital capabilities. The system landscape in process plants ranges from simple applications to complex, highly integrated safety solutions and precisely validated plants. Data silos are increasingly common in industries that rely on plants that have existed for years. Despite these challenges, many technological innovations have been developed to help upgrade older process-control technologies. However, this requires an understanding of the installed system base of process industry manufacturers.
