Industrial control automation technology is a kind of use of control theory, instrumentation, computer and other information technology to realize detection, control, optimization, scheduling, management and decision-making of industrial production process, to increase output, improve quality, reduce consumption, ensure safety, etc. The comprehensive technology for the purpose mainly includes three parts: industrial automation software, hardware and system. As one of the most important technologies in the field of modern manufacturing in the 20th century, industrial control automation technology mainly solves the problems of production efficiency and consistency. Although the automation system itself does not directly create benefits, it can significantly improve the production process of the enterprise.

Most of the development path of industrial control automation in my country is to digest and absorb while introducing complete sets of equipment, and then carry out secondary development and application. At present, my country's industrial control automation technology, industry and application have developed greatly, and my country's industrial computer system industry has been formed. At present, industrial control automation technology is developing in the direction of intelligence, networking and integration.
