Planning an automation modernization project? Technology selection is only one part of the decision. Before moving forward, teams may need to understand the problem being solved, existing system lifecycle, operational requirements, data flow, commissioning and validation needs, and future requirements. We put together six questions to consider before beginning a modernization initiative. Swipe through the carousel → Planning a project?

Your automation system may be running. But is your data flowing where it needs to go? Manufacturing data can exist across instruments, controllers, HMIs and other systems without necessarily being available where teams need it. Before moving toward more advanced digital initiatives, it may be useful to understand how information currently moves through the automation environment. Questions worth asking: • Where is operational data generated? • Where is it currently available? • Where does visibility stop? • Which systems need to communicate? • Can the current architecture support future requirements? Automation 4.0 starts with understanding the architecture behind the data. Evaluating your automation environment?
