Abstract


This research article explores the application of cloud computing in industrial automation systems and provides insights into its future prospects. Cloud computing has transformed various industries, including industrial automation, by offering enhanced efficiency, scalability, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness. By leveraging cloud infrastructure, industrial automation systems can store and process large volumes of data, enabling real-time monitoring and analysis of processes. The integration of disparate automation systems and devices is facilitated, fostering interoperability and data exchange across the industrial ecosystem. Cloud-based services enable remote access and collaboration, allowing engineers and operators to monitor and control industrial processes from anywhere. However, challenges such as security and data privacy, latency, and network reliability need to be addressed to ensure the successful adoption of cloud computing. The emergence of edge computing complements cloud computing by reducing latency and enhancing real-time capabilities, promising a future where the hybrid integration of cloud and edge computing reshapes the industrial automation landscape, driving innovation and enabling more intelligent and efficient processes.
