Manufacturing Industry’s Strong Emphasis on Industrial Automation & Focus on Shortening Time to Market (TTM) to Drive Demand for Data Acquisition (DAQ) Hardware
Increased
adoption of industrial automation technologies and emphasis on faster Time to Market
(TTM) in a bid to survive the growing competition in the manufacturing industry
are poised to drive the global market for Data
Acquisition (DAQ) Hardware to reach US$1.7 billion by 2022
Data
acquisition (DAQ) is an established technical concept that focuses on
recording, analyzing, and reporting of electrical measurements such as power,
current and voltage, and transducer/sensor-driven data such as vibration,
temperature, humidity, strain, flow and level etc. DAQ is carried out by DAQ
systems, the specially designed tools to seamlessly collect data from equipment
and processes in industrial sites, commercial facilities and scientific
laboratories and transmit gathered data to a processing device for generating
valuable insights for use in monitoring, control and analysis applications. DAQ
systems, comprising of hardware and software solutions, are primarily available
in the form of plug-in cards & boards and external devices such as data loggers,
chart recorders, DAQ front ends, digital I/O, timing I/O and standalone
systems. DAQ hardware solutions integrate signal conditioning circuitry,
sensors, and analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) for collection and
transmission of data. While sensors perform the role of converting physical
parameters into electrical signals, signal conditioning circuitry focuses on
converting sensor signals into digital values.
Market
for DAQ hardware continues to expand, driven by the well-established role of
data acquisition in test, measurement and instrumentation platforms; growing
inclination towards data-driven strategies and real-time data analysis for
improved control of industrial processes; and emergence of next generation
industrial concepts such as Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), Machine-to-Machine (M2M)
communication,
and Industry 4.0. Also benefiting market growth is the increase in research
analysis, and design activities in scientific and product development domains
such as modeling behavior analysis of scientific concepts and novel product
design programs. Technology developments supporting growth include miniaturization
of DAQ boards, increased availability of open source DAQ software leading to
decreased DAQ costs, progression in plug-in DAQ card technology and wireless
DAQ systems. DAQ systems based on Ethernet, USB, LXI, PCI and PXI architectures
are gaining traction in the market. Adoption of DAQ remains highly visible in
industries such as manufacturing, transportation/automotive, oil & gas,
power generation, aerospace & defense, life sciences & healthcare and
waste water treatment, among others.
As
stated by the new market research report on Data Acquisition (DAQ)
Hardware, the
United States represents the largest market worldwide. Trailing at a CAGR of 9%
