Human-centered industrial control systems through seamless communication and flexible reconfiguration
Masatoshi Takano · 2008
This paper presents the concept of human-centered Industrial Control Systems (ICSs) that employ network-based controllers interconnected with business systems. Seamless communication and computing are key issues for enabling remote operations of human-centered interfaces, from any location, as well as information sharing. In addition, the flexible reconfiguration of field devices contributes to the continual improvement of manufacturing processes.
