Distributed Control System (DCS)

A Distributed Control System (DCS) is a sophisticated automation technology used to monitor and control complex industrial processes, like manufacturing or energy production. Instead of a single central computer, functions are distributed across multiple controllers located near different parts of the process. These controllers communicate with each other to ensure seamless operation, data collection, and real-time decision-making. This setup improves reliability, system flexibility, and efficiency, enabling operators to manage large and complex systems more effectively while maintaining safety and precision.
