Industrial control refers to the systems and technologies used to manage and regulate industrial processes. These systems ensure that machinery and equipment operate efficiently and safely, often involving sensors, controllers, and software. Common applications include manufacturing, energy production, and water treatment, where precise control is essential for optimal performance. Key components of industrial control systems include Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems, and Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs). These tools help operators monitor conditions, automate processes, and respond to changes in real-time, ultimately enhancing productivity and reducing risks in industrial environments.
