If there exists a single term that summarizes the key to success in modern industrial automation, the obvious choice would be integration. Integration is critical to aligning all levels of an industrial enterprise and to optimizing each stratum in the hierarchy. While many books focus on the technological components of enterprise information systems, Integration Technologies for Industrial Automated Systems is the first book to present a comprehensive picture of the technologies, methodologies, and knowledge used to integrate seamlessly the various technologies underlying modern industrial automation and information systems. In chapters drawn from two of Zurawski's popular works, The Industrial Communication Technology Handbook and The Industrial Information Technology Handbook, this practical guide offers tutorials, surveys, and technology overviews contributed by experts from leading industrial and research institutions from around the world. The book is organized into sections for cohesive and comprehensive treatment. It examines e-technologies, software and IT technologies, communication network-based technologies, agent-based technologies, and security in detail as well as their role in the integration of industrial automated systems. For each of these areas, the contributors discuss emerging trends, novel solutions, and relevant standards. Charting the course toward more responsive and agile enterprise, Integration Technologies for Industrial Automated Systems gives you the tools to make better decisions and develop more integrated systems.

Industrial systems integration is a very diverse topic. It includes the primary technologies of industrial processes, industrial automation systems, industrial networks, industrial systems integration software applications, safety systems, energy systems, and manufacturing management software applications. Therefore, it is difficult to find literature that covers all the areas of industrial systems integration in a coherent manner. In addition, the new manufacturing paradigm of Industry 4.0 has increased the need for experts in industrial systems integration, because it is based on Industrial Internet of Things which is a product of industrial systems integration. This book is a result of lecture notes that the author has developed and refined over many years to cover the theory and practice of industrial systems integration in a coherent manner for those aspiring to become experts in industrial systems integration in particular and Industry 4.0 in general. Principally, the book is written for senior undergraduate and graduate students studying mechanical engineering, manufacturing engineering, electrical engineering, software engineering, automation and smart systems engineering, and computer science. The text is also useful to those in industry who are interested in the implementation of the Industry 4.0 manufacturing paradigm

Facilities increasingly rely on computerized systems to optimize their buildings' systems operation and reduce the costs of maintenance and management. Therefore, facility managers and engineers must rise to the challenge of a new discipline-systems networking and integration-as more and more computerized systems become implemented.
