Taking a different approach to DCS upgrades

Control Engineering

Embracing concepts and technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and smart manufacturing can help. In the past, upgrading a distributed control system (DCS) typically involved ripping out the old system and replacing it with a new one from a different vendor, or undergoing a hardware or software upgrade.
