Abstract :
In this paper, innovation in control and automation technology efficiency is among the key themes of Hannover Messe 2009. With process efficiency expected to make a crucial contribution to cost-savings in these financially-straitened times, the ability to control and manage automated machinery in plants and manufacturing is embracing new levels of innovation. Machinery and plant have to do more than just turn out a product: they need to prove their economic credentials. Operating costs and down-time must be reduced, minimised and re-minimised accuracy of performance calculation is key.
