United Kingdom System Integrator Market for Industrial Automation Market Size

UK Industrial Automation System Integrator Market Analysis

The UK system integrator market for industrial automation is expected to record a CAGR of 2.83% during the forecast period (2021-2026).

The COVID-19 pandemic temporarily slowed the market's supply chain, thus, eventually increasing the demand for industrial automation in the market.

• System integration assimilates all these systems in the industry to achieve smart factory utilization. It is responsible for contracting product development, sourcing hardware and software resources from OEMs, and integrating them for end users (manufacturers).
• Recent trends have shown that smaller PLCs introduced in the micro- and nano-classes, providing features, were previously found only in the larger systems. In response to market demands, many functions and features are now offered by lower-end PLCs. It is expected that small PLCs may continue to evolve to include many of the features associated with higher-level PLCs.
• Furthermore, the rising demand for improved control, secured connectivity, and enhanced performance has pushed PLC manufacturers to bank on IIoT technologies, such as machine-to-machine communication, smart sensors, industrial cloud, and cybersecurity. Moreover, to accommodate advanced features, cost-effectiveness, and interoperability, PLC manufacturers have been involved in innovating and integrating conventional PLC systems with modern and contemporary technologies.
• SCADA systems are at the crux of industrial processes as they help organizations manage modern demands. For instance, Yokogawa zeros in on the evolution of SCADA to deliver high performance, high availability, broad scalability, and platform independence in its SCADA applications. Therefore, organizations also benefit from the power and flexibility of Yokogawa's SCADA software (FAST/TOOLS), a comprehensive, fully integrated SCADA application suite.
• Similarly, Mitsubishi Electric, a world-leading equipment supplier, offers the SCADA software, MC Works64, which is a modern solution for next-generation integrated monitoring for the Internet of Things (IoT). With IoT accelerating digital transformation initiatives, solutions like these have the potential to create significant demand for themselves. Furthermore, Mitsubishi solutions come with a wide range of factory automation products to catalyze visualization, analysis, and improvement.
