Instrumentation and automation (I&C) are an important part of industrial processes in many industries. They are systems that allow you to control and measure various parameters of technological processes, as well as automatically control them.

Instrumentation and automation are widely used in oil and gas, chemical, energy, metallurgical and other industries. They help to improve the efficiency and productivity of production processes, reduce waste and reduce time spent on control and management.

The main functions of the I&C include:

• Measurement of process parameters such as temperature, pressure, liquid level, etc.;
• Control and management of process parameters in real time;
• Processing and analysis of the obtained data for making decisions on process management;
• Tracking and diagnostics of faults in equipment and instrumentation systems.

Instrumentation and control systems can be integrated with other automation systems such as manufacturing control systems (SCADA) and process control systems (DCS). This allows you to create fully automated production control systems that can work without the direct participation of the operator.

Instrumentation and control systems play an important role in ensuring the safety and efficiency of production processes. They help prevent accidents and damage to equipment and reduce risks to workers and the environment. Thanks to these systems, manufacturing plants can achieve higher levels of productivity, efficiency and safety, which in turn leads to increased profits and competitiveness in the market.
