All of which have gained traction in the automation space, but to a lesser degree in the process industries.\nThis presentation will in addition to discussing the different generations of control systems for context examine some of the drivers for change and reasons why the adoption of each generation of technology lags in the OT domain and process industries in particular.\n\n \n\nTo join the event via Microsoft Teams please click here\n\n \n\n DTSTART:20230927T180000Z DTEND:20230927T193000Z LOCATION:Online, joining details on Hertfordshire Section web page (Microsoft Teams Link) END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
