Developingapplications and integration of state of the art industrial automation technology (hardware andsoftware) has become fairly easy compared to only a few years ago. Manufacturing engineeringstudents, as well as all other engineering students who will work on design and improvement ofautomated processes should be exposed to these advanced automation technologies.
