Industrial Automation in Chemicals

Q1. Could you start by giving us a brief overview of your professional background, particularly focusing on your expertise in the industry?

After graduating from Calcutta University, I started my career in a continuous manufacturing plant. It has been challenging 15+ years since I have been serving this industry. The path from Shift engineer and gradually becoming Team leader was not smooth always but was definitely of learning.
Working in the industrial automation sector, I realized that reliability and safety are the major components of measurement and control systems. Every complex or simple process must govern a reliable automation system to get stability & operational efficiency.

Q2. How is the market segmented by types of automation solutions (e.g., control systems, robotics, sensors) and by application areas within the chemical sector?

Generally, Oil & gas, petroleum, and fertilizers & Industries dealing with hazardous chemicals select automation systems, i.e., instruments, Process Control systems, and emergency shutdown systems with maximum reliability and safety standards.

Automobile Industries with Assembly line production normally deal with advanced machinery automation systems like robotics, fast sensing instruments, and controllers with high scanning ability.

The power sector generally deals with reliable SCADA automation systems with various features, including smooth…
