The needs of system operators have changed drastically – there is a trend for higher packing density in the control cabinet and consequently ever narrower components. With “Termitrab complete”, Phoenix Contact is now launching the world’s narrowest surge protection for MCR technology (measurement, control, and regulation) – the narrowest devices are just 3.5 mm wide (Figure 1 High safety for persons and the environment – ensured by a comprehensive surge protection with minimal space requirements).
Fewer than two percent of executives at large organizations say their companies have a clear vision of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), with implementation well underway.

If you had researched the Industrial Internet of Things online in the mid-1990s, there might have been a handful of results. But if you searched on terms like asset performance management, predictive maintenance, and computerized maintenance management, you would have found thousands of entries. While such maintenance automation is finally gaining a foothold in industry, realizing its full potential has been hampered by limited access to the contextual data related to things like system wear and performance degradation.
North America dominates the global market for automation and control system in pharmaceutical and biotech industry due to large number of aging population and accelerates investment in the industry.
