Global industrial automation services market: Rising need for a main automation contractor
With automation systems becoming more and more complex on account of the growing requirements of end-users, the concept of MACs is increasingly becoming popular. Automation solutions are highly complex and require the integration of different systems that might not be fulfilled by a particular vendor. This compels end-users to opt for different automation control vendors with expertise in a particular field.
According to a senior analyst at Technavio for research on automation, “The MAC acts as a consultant and works with engineering, procurement, and construction companies to develop a plan that allows the smooth deployment of automation control systems. This reduces the planning and implementation costs, maintains standardization across various projects, and reduces cost.”
