In the context of modern manufacturing, the "Age of Instrumentation" refers to the widespread use of technology to improve efficiency and productivity. This era is characterized by the integration of programmable logic controllers, remote terminal units, and other devices that enable real-time monitoring and control of manufacturing processes. As a result, organizations can work smarter, not harder, by leveraging instrumentation to optimize their business operations and drive innovation. The "Age of Instrumentation" has significant implications for manufacturing, including the need to instrument both physical and virtual worlds to stay competitive in today's fast-paced industry.
