Abstract: Automation systems are undergoing continuous evolution since their first appearance during Industry 3.0 era. Hardware and software developments are enabling elements for the continuous evolution of both Information Technology and Operations Technology (IT/OT) systems. Several business drivers make such evolution a necessity for the industries to hold a competitive advantage in the marketplace. Industry 4.0 technologies have been emerging at multiple levels of the automation systems, however at slower pace compared to non-industrial IT systems. That is due to the nature and purpose of automation systems, which set these systems at a relatively conservative position. Yet, we have been witnessing several developments in these systems at multiple levels. And the floor is still open for innovative ideas that exploit Industry 4.0 technologies leading to increased efficiency while meeting safety, security and data integrity requirements. The article concludes with a use case study for integrating Data Analytics, which is a component of Industry 4.0, in automation systems in order to increase data reliability and to have resilient operation.
Keywords: SCADA Systems, Industry 4.0, Data Reliability, Automation Systems.
