Description

Frost & Sullivan has independently analyzed and profiled 12 automation and process control system suppliers and plotted them on its Frost Radar™. It compares the performance of these companies and positions them on its Frost Radar™ based on their scores on the Growth and the Innovation axes. Suppliers’ most recent innovations and their key growth areas are discussed; Frost & Sullivan recommendations to ensure continued market growth and leadership are also provided.

Most countries in Asia-Pacific face challenges in their efforts toward industrialization. However, some companies are able to offer robust solutions to help governments and the private sector overcome these problems. Another key challenge faced by developing countries in this region is related to infrastructure, and this problem is compounded by the lack of a skilled workforce, resulting in delays in technology transfer. Most of the companies profiled in this Frost Radar™ have a strong base across Asia-Pacific and view the region as key to their growth. Many of these companies also partner with leading research institutes and other organizations to ensure that technology can be effectively delivered and used in the automation and the manufacturing domains. Companies included in this analysis are medium-sized businesses and top-tier organizations that offer automation products, such as programmable logic controllers (PLCs), distributed control systems (DCSs), supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, human-machine interface (HMI) systems, and process safety systems.
