As we conclude another year of learning PLC programming at ACC Automation, we are excited to reflect on the progress, innovations, and milestones we’ve achieved in 2024. This year has been filled with growth, learning, and pushing the limits of industrial automation. Let’s highlight some key events from the year.
Previously, we learned that only 31% of businesses have fully automated at least one function (McKinsey). There is a massive demand for automation and creating training environments. Using the machine simulator, we utilized the Modbus TCP (Ethernet) Server in the “Easy Transfer Line.” This is just one of many pre-built scenes, or you can design … Read more
