Beyond the Control Room explores realistic future concepts in industrial automation — from AI-powered operator co‑pilots to offline digital twins and edge‑based ESG tracking. We tackle today’s manufacturing challenges in design, operation, and maintenance, reimagining PLCs, DCS, MES, and edge intelligence as the brain of a sustainable, resilient industry. These aren’t product pitches — they’re blueprints for what’s next.

Episode 6: The Day the Plant Rewrote Itself — AI, Software-Defined Automation, and Self-Healing Systems

What if a factory could rewrite itself in real time?

In this episode of Beyond the Control Room, we step into the world of Software Defined Automation (SDA) — where control logic, I/O assignments, HMI screens, and even operator dashboards adapt instantly to change.

From spare I/O taking over failed channels to dynamic HMIs rebuilding on the fly, discover how SDA transforms plants into living, flexible systems.

This is more than theory: virtual PLCs, real-time edge orchestration, secure code signing, and Ethernet backbones already exist today. The next step is convergence.

It’s not about replacing humans — it’s about giving operators superpowers.
