First, give conclusions that can be used for decision-making
“Automation works” need to be targeted at the first time of communication. Industrial automation focuses on sensors, PLCs, control, electrical and production equipment; enterprise intelligence automation focuses on information, documentation, data, business systems, AI, and people working together.
What conditions need to be identified before judgement is made?
The same question may have different answers under different business, data and project phases. It is suggested that the following conditions be checked and that the common findings on the web be incorporated into their own projects.
Suggested order of advance
First, we'll be clear about the target and the border.
Lists equipment, controls, capture, platforms and operational software coverage.
Validation Key Dependence
The responsibility for industrial control and software AI is assigned to the right team.
Development of assessable outcomes
Defines equipment protocols, data, alarms, commands and security interfaces.
Make sure you decide the next step with the real results.
On-site control and acceptance and software platform acceptance are carried out separately.
How do you understand it in the actual business?
The plant wishes to create maintenance sheets automatically after the equipment has gone out of order. The PLC and equipment safety locks are handled by the industrial control team; ZhiHua Tech can take equipment data access, cloud-to-clan, anomaly rules or AI analysis, worksheets integration, notification and operating boards, and jointly complete interfaces.
The easiest pit to step on.
Direct replacement of security control logic with operational AI
Contracts do not distinguish equipment, electrical, network and software responsibilities
Only normal connections, no offlines, repeated alarms and data feed tests
How should we end up receiving and confirming?
The project should form professional boundaries, interface protocols, data frequencies, command privileges, trouble management and mutual acceptance lists.
When preparing to communicate with suppliers or internal teams, it is recommended that current processes, representative samples, existing systems, planning time and budget levels be brought. First, the unknown items are clearly marked, and then the decision is made to use diagnostics, PoC, fixed-range projects or ongoing research and development, which is usually more reliable than a direct demand for a price and duration without borders.
