The trends in the automation - start of the serial „automation, supplier structure, economic crisis“
By now two main trends in the automation technology have been appearing. The first main trend of the automation substituted the electro-mechanics by microelectronics. The second main trend consists of an ever higher degree of integration of the microelectronics. This trend dominates these days, however, continuing to differentiate it.
The today's automation technology started to substitute the electro-mechanics at the machines by microelectronics. So e.g. the programmable controller PLC substituted the electromechanical contactor-based control technology, the control panel with text display the individual switches and pushbuttons or the frequency converter substituted the Dahlander-connection. This substitution process shaped the development in the eighties and nineties.
Since at the beginning of 2000 an ever higher degree of integration of microelectronics became determining. The article calls the most important technological applications. A current trend counters this main trend, i.e. the efficient and inexpensive non-integrated automation component.
The article already indicates the changes these two main trends caused on the market structure of the suppliers of automation technology. This is continued to pursue in the second part of this series of articles.
This series of articles addresses the today effective general connections between automation, supply structure and economic development. Particularly in times that are more rapidly, partly precipitously changing the Quest Trend Magazine seeks to facilitate the orientation and decisions both of the machine-builders and the suppliers of automation technology with this serial of articles.
Quest TechnoMarketing is the publisher of the Quest Trend Magazine. Quest TechnoMarketing, www.qtm.de/e analyses the automation market for more than 20 years.
The article „The trends in the automation technology“ is available on http://www.quest-trendmagazin.de/Die-Trends-der-Automatisierung.110.0.html?&L=1

Rising world market shares of the 10 largest automakers
From 2011 to 2012 the worldwide motor vehicle production rose by 5.2%. That was connected with a noticeable change of the world market shares among the 10 largest automakers. Three changes are crucial.
Quest TechnoMarketing has investigated the internationalization of the worldwide automobile production since 2000 and published some results in the Quest Trend Magazine.
Now this long-term trend analysis has been amended by the actual changes from 2011 to 2012…
The German machinery industry is divided into three groups - new in the Quest Tr …
Compared with large industries such as chemistry or motor vehicle industry the machinery industry is rightly considered as medium-sized. However, it is divided into three groups that shift the medium-size character in the background.
Quest TechnoMarketing investigated the industry structure of the German machinery industry and published the result in the Quest Trend Magazine. In particular for the manufacturers of automation technology it may be useful to adjust the products for…
Structural changes in the course of the worldwide industrial production and the …
The Quest Trend Magazine has analyzed the course of the worldwide industrial production in the last 30 years. Three structural changes became visible. They are forming the economic situation also these days.
The industrial production of the USA, Japan, Germany and the European Union showed an altogether continuous growth in the 20 years from 1980 to 2000. Economic crises with a decline in industrial production occurred in an interval of…
German machine-builders have been shifting their export markets since the world …
The still dominating role of the European Union countries for the machine export has dramatically been relativized since 2008. And even the export shares into the BRIC countries show up noticeable shifts.
The turnover of the German machinery industry achieved its crisis low with 67.5 index points (value index of the German Federal Statistical Office) at the beginning of 2010. Then started a rapid upward movement slightly exceeding with 137.6 at…

Latest Feedback of the German Machinery Industry on Industry 4.0 - New Report in …
Along the market survey from Quest TechnoMarketing about the engineering of the machine automation until 2017 the machine-builders also assessed “what Industry 4.0 is supposed to mean for the engineering of the machine until 2017”.
80% of the investigated machine-builders in the ten sectors of the German machinery industry provided their feedback to this question. The following numbers refer to these machine-builders.
The open question without further specifications invited to a…
Electric linear actuators have been growing for 10 years
Bochum, July 14, 2010. During the last 10 years from 2001 to 2010 the use of electric linear actuators in the German machinery industry has increased fivefold.
So the portion of the machine-builders using electric linear actuators at the machines increased from 3,5% to 19%.
Linear actuators produce a straight-line resp. translational motion. So e.g. the hot glue nozzle of a packaging machine can be guided straight-lined across a paper…
RFID - constantly and throughout the machinery industry implemented
Bochum, July 5, 2010. This year 14% of the machine-builders intend to implement RFID at the machines.
RFID stands for radio frequency identification and provides the wireless identification of goods, semi-manufactures or workpieces in the industrial sector.
Last year 15% of the machine-builders wanted to implement RFID at the machines. So RFID shows a constant implementation during the last two years.
This implementation is taking place with all or almost all of…
Intensified interest in application-optimised I/O modules
Bochum, June 15, 2010. The machine-builders are intensified interested in application-optimised I/O modules this year. This confirms the trend to fine-tuning the control and drive technologies that determines the changes in the automation technology this year.
With 11% each tenth machine-builders intend to change to application-optimised I/O modules this year. That is an increase in relation to the previous year by more than one third as this value was 8%.
What application-optimised…
Panel PC benefits from the current trend to fine-tuning the control technology
Bochum, 7th June 2010. Machine-builders prefer fine-tuning the control technology this year. This means to improve the consisting control technology at the machines instead of changing the control technology. The Panel PC benefits from this current trend.
Panel PC means operator panel with integrated control system. Compared with other control technologies such as PLC, PC, microprocessor control, CNC or contactor-based control technology the Panel PC shows the highest portion with new…
Current trend to IO-Link slightly improving
Bochum, Germany, May 18th 2010. This year 10% of the machine-builders intend to implement IO-Link at the machines.
IO-Link is a field bus-neutral interface, which makes the existing point-to-point connection between I/O modules and sensors able to communicate omitting an additional core.
71% of the machine-builders gave a positive feedback to IO-Link according to a survey by Quest TechnoMarketing, comprising over 300 machine-builders in 2007. Then the economic crisis curbed the interest…
