Understanding the Automation Pyramid
Industrial automation is structured into layers, commonly referred to as the Automation Pyramid, which organizes technologies and processes into hierarchical levels for effective control and monitoring. Each layer plays a critical role in ensuring seamless operation and integration within smart manufacturing, industrial control systems, and IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) applications:
Enterprise (ERP) Layer – Focuses on business planning, resource management, and high-level decision-making.
Manufacturing Execution System (MES) Layer – Manages production schedules, quality control, and data collection, ensuring efficient production workflows and real-time data synchronization.
Supervisory Automation Layer – SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) and HMI (Human-Machine Interface) solutions provide real-time monitoring and operator control, enabling predictive maintenance, alarm management, and process visualization.
Controls Automation Layer – PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) and DCS (Distributed Control System) solutions execute logic for precise machine operations, ensuring automated process control and optimized machine performance.
Field/Device Layer – Sensors, actuators, and edge devices provide real-world data and execute commands, playing a critical role in data acquisition, industrial connectivity, and real-time monitoring.
At Pigler Automation, we specialize in the Supervisory Automation Layer and Controls Automation Layer, ensuring a seamless link between high-level decision-making and operational execution through advanced industrial automation, SCADA integration, and PLC programming expertise.
