(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20160330/349511LOGO ) The global micro PLC market to grow at a CAGR of 8.17% during the period 2016-2020. Global Micro PLC Market, has been prepared based on an in-depth market analysis with inputs from industry experts. The report covers the market landscape and its growth prospects over the coming years. The report also includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market. The report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of global micro PLC market for 2016-2020. To calculate the market size, the report considers the revenue generated from sales and aftermarket services of global micro PLCs market. Micro PLCs are compact PLCs with greater than 24 and lesser than 128 I/Os. Integration of HMI in micro PLCs is one of the major trends in the market. Vendors of micro PLCs are coming up with products with wider HMI screen compared to earlier generations. These HMIs display user-friendly graphic icons, send and receive text messges, and change displays according to the progression of the manufacturing process in an industrial production line. According to the report, miniaturization of industrial control systems is increasing in the factory automation industry. Customers look for small form factors that can provide the same functionalities and features of larger devices, while consuming low power. Germany initiated Industry 4.0 to increase production efficiency and maintain competitiveness in a smarter and greener way. This has led to the rise in smart factories that are intelligently connected and automated. Industrial controllers that are critical for smart factories are evolving toward miniaturization with high performance capabilities. Further, the report states that the high preference for industrial PCs among end-users should have a negative influence on the demand for micro PLCs.
