Market Trends of France Factory Automation and Industrial Controls Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the France Factory Automation & Industrial Controls Market according to our research experts:
Programable Logic Controller Expected to Witness Signifcant Growth in the Adoption
- Programable Logic Controller is an industrial digital computer which is designed to operate in tough industrial environment for industrial automation. These computers are mainly used to control manufacturing process in industry, robotic devices, machines, assembly lines can be easily and autonomously controlled with PLC.
- PLCs are pre-programmed with required parameters; they process and analyse the received data and trigger outputs as per need. PLC easily records and monitors runtime data like machine productivity, temperature, automatic start and stop processes, generation of alarms when a machine fails and many more.
- It also provides a function that can check the state of facilities and programs so that if there are problems or errors, it is possible to make repairs quickly compared to other control units. Input and output indicators are easily identifiable in a system.
- The automobile industry in France in growing and with it the need of autonomous manufacturing assembly controlled by robots is also increasing. PLC plays an important role in controlling manufacturing processes due to their rugged, flexible and easily programmable features.
- The advanced features of PLC can communicate data through web browser and connect data with clouds, this enables easy adoption of Industrial Internet of Things and Industry 4.0 in a factory.
Industrial Robotics are expected to dominate the market
- The industrial robotics segment consists of articulated robots, cartesian robots, SCARA robots, collaborative industry robots (cobots), parallel robots, piece picking robots, etc. The adoption of industrial robots has been increasing in most end-users and applications as these robots enhance accuracy, flexibility, reduced product damage, speed, and ultimately the efficiency of operations.
- The use of collaborative robots or cobots is increasing rapidly as they are utilizing advanced sensors, software, and end-of-arm tooling that quickly and safely respond to the changes in the environment and assist in improving efficiency.
- With the help of artificial intelligence in industrial robots, the automotive sector's assembly lines have become more productive, efficient, and cost-effective. Industrial robotics on the shop floor, especially cylindrical robots, transformed automobile production by automating the manufacturing process.
- France is home to many reputable manufacturing companies that include Airbus, Daher, Groupe Renault, naval Group, and many others. Furthermore, the presence of innovation cluster and innovation platforms include ID 4 Car, EMC2, and other, Clarte, Proxinnov, and others.
- Thus, there is a huge potential for the growth of the country’s industrial sector. This increases the need for factory automation and field devices to automate such manufacturing factories. Industrial Robots play important role in automation in manufacturing industry.
