Technavio Asserts the Introduction of Cloud-Based PLCs Will Drive the Global PLC Market in Water and Wastewater Industry Through 2019


Technavio, a tech-focused research firm, has published a new report on the global PLC market in water and wastewater industry, which is expected to grow at a CAGR of close to 7% from 2015-2019.

In accordance with the latest report by Technavio, energy consumption constitutes 20%-30% of a water treatment plant's total operational cost. Therefore, there is a strong emphasis on increasing the energy efficiency and operational effectiveness of water treatment plants.

"The adoption of automation in water treatment plants enables better communication, and precise coordination among different departments within a plant. It also reduces their dependency on human resources and micromanages the overall industrial process," says Faisal Ghaus, Vice President of Technavio.

The new report by Technavio also states that PLCs are controlled from the plant facility using a human machine interface (HMI) screen by the operator. However, most organizations are now adopting cloud computing technology for asy access of data, and to facilitate prompt decision making.



"Although cloud computing in a plant facility is at a nascent stage, end-user industries are likely to shift toward cloud technology in the forecast period because of cyber security issues," adds Ghaus.

Technavio currently has more than 3000 market research reports on a huge range of topics, including:
