What is the future development trend of industrial automation?

The biggest change in the world at the end of the 20th century was the formation of global markets. The global market has caused unprecedented fierce competition, prompting companies to speed up the time to market for new products (TimetoMarket), improve quality (Quality), reduce costs (Cost), and improve the service system (Service). This is the enterprise T.Q.C.S.

In China, small and medium-sized enterprises and quasi-large enterprises still follow the path of low-cost industrial control automation.
