The built-in intelligence continuously monitors processes and the equipment itself, providing predictive reports and alerts that enable personnel to operate at highest capacity, and resolve maintenance issues before they impact production.

"The service sector in the automation and control solutions industry is expected to show the greatest growth," said Frost & Sullivan analyst Ipshita Bhattacharya.
