What Should Manufacturers Understand About Open Control Systems?
April 7, 2025
We connect with Ken Crawford, senior director of automation at Weidmuller, to explore the differences between open control systems and proprietary control systems, the security and reliability of open control technologies, and the process of adopting open systems for manufacturers who are using either proprietary control system technologies or those that are part of a vendor/partner ecosystem.
Learn what open control systems are, how they compare to proprietary systems and why they’re gaining traction in industrial automation.
Hear about firsthand experiences of manufacturers using open control technologies to reduce costs, increase flexibility and streamline operations.
Understand key open control system considerations related to security, reliability and integration as well as the role of containerization in transitioning to open systems.
