Factory Controls in the 21st Century: Automation Lunch & Learn at Noreside
Automation is reshaping the modern manufacturing environment at an unprecedented pace. At Noreside Engineering, we are hosting an online Lunch & Learn webinar designed to explore how factory controls have evolved — and where they are heading next.
Taking place on Thursday 26th February at 1pm, this event will be limited to 300 guests online.
Hosted by Automation Manager Liam Horan, the session will provide practical insight into the technologies driving smarter, more efficient production environments.
From Hardwired Systems to Intelligent Networks
Attendees will explore the transition from traditional hardwired I/O, through fieldbus technologies such as Profibus, DeviceNet, and ASi to modern Ethernet-based systems including Profinet and EtherNet/IP. These platforms enable faster communication, improved diagnostics, and seamless integration across production lines.
The Modern Factory: Trends vs Fads
Understanding the difference between lasting innovation and passing hype is critical when investing in automation.
Liam will examine the core control technologies that remain as relevant as ever, alongside the growing importance of vertical integration into ERP and MES platforms. Enhanced connections to MIS systems and operational dashboards are allowing manufacturers to make better, data-driven decisions in real time.
The session will also address industry buzzwords that often dominate conversation. Concepts like Industry 4.0, IoT, and even AI hold enormous potential, but separating practical application from short-term enthusiasm is key to delivering measurable value.
See Automation in Action
Join us to see how modern factories are built — and what tomorrow’s production environment will demand.
