工业物联网的挑战推动PLC和基于PLC的PAC市场增长

PLC and PLC-based PACs Market Is Growing with the Challenges of Industrial IoT
PLC和基于PLC的PAC市场随着工业物联网的挑战而增长

New ARC Advisory Group research on the global PLC and PLC-based PAC market reveals that programmable logic controllers (PLC) and programmable automation controllers (PAC) continue to be the preferred choice among machine builders and end users.  This applies  not just for traditional machine control, but also increasingly in process and infrastructure applications. The market contracted slightly in 2019 after two strong years of growth, and is taking a strong hit in 2020 due to the coronavirus.

ARC顾问集团对全球PLC和基于PLC的PAC市场的最新研究表明，可编程逻辑控制器（PLC）和可编程自动化控制器（PAC）仍然是机器制造商和最终用户的首选。这不仅适用于传统的机器控制，而且越来越多地应用于过程和基础设施应用中。经过两年的强劲增长，该市场在2019年略有收缩，并在2020年因冠状病毒而受到重创。

“The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is changing how industrial processes are controlled and monitored, but PLCs are growing with and adapting to the new challenges rather than being replaced by alternate technologies," according to David Humphrey, research director at ARC Advisory Group and key author of ARC’s PLC and PLC-based PAC Global Market Research report. "Based on established industrial technology, PLCs are valued for their speed, repeatability, reliability, and ease of deployment and maintenance.”   

“工业物联网（IIoT）改变了工业过程的控制和监控方式，但PLC不断发展并适应新挑战，而不是被替代技术所取代，”ARC顾问集团研究总监、ARC“PLC和基于PAC的PAC全球市场研究报告”主要作者David Humphrey表示。“基于成熟的工业技术，PLC因其速度、可重复性、可靠性以及易于部署和维护而受到重视。”

“PLCs have gained a lot of speed and new functionality in the past decade, allowing some users to switch to smaller PLCs," Humphrey added. "This tactic is especially popular with cost-conscious machine builders, and is changing the market dynamics. The coronavirus will set the market back in 2020, and the study includes an updated forecast that reflects how and when we expect the PLC market to recover in the coming years."

Humphrey补充说：“在过去的十年里，PLC取得了很高的速度和新的功能，使一些用户可以切换到较小的PLC。这种策略尤其受到注重成本的机器制造商的欢迎，并正在改变市场动态。冠状病毒将使2020年市场倒退，该研究包括了最新的预测，反映了我们对未来几年PLC市场将如何恢复和何时恢复的预测。”
