MTP standardizes the integration of modular plant components, simplifying the process of connecting different equipment from various vendors. It also allows for plug-and-play functionality, making it easier to add or remove modules as needed.
The Margo Standard is a collaborative initiative that promotes interoperability between automation systems, focusing on edge computing and supporting multi-vendor environments.
It then explores the concept of containerization, a technology that packages applications with their dependencies into isolated units called containers, and how it enhances the capabilities of PLCs.
The combination of MTP, Margo, and containerization will revolutionize industrial automation by improving flexibility, scalability, and efficiency in manufacturing processes.
