Hi,

I am looking for some ideas to pick up as the PhD Research Topic.

What are the future treneds in automation systems industry ?
What is the future in terms of robotic systems and plc - robot communication ?
 
Smart transmitters
Documentation storage in PLC memory
More wireless EtherNET communications
Increasingly bloated over-priced programming and HMI software
 
Increased use of vision with Robotics
Larger Memory capacities with PLCs
More bundling of HMI and PLC programing software so it can be ridiculously expensive
More robotics with less guarding required
 
Less costly robotics. Robotics are going to make a surge in the next 10-20 years due to a sizable decrease in cost and difficulty to program.

See rethink robotics....
