Transportation Infrastructure Automation Systems

The Transportation Infrastructure Automation Systems Emerging Market Analysis provides a concise analysis of the market for industrial automation in transportation infrastructure. This includes information on market size, growth, and key trends pushing and pulling the space.

Automation Systems in Sync with Transportation Infrastructure

ARC Advisory Group’s Transportation Infrastructure Automation Systems report reveals that transportation infrastructure requires sophisticated systems to enable and unlock seamless mobility. Today, markets around the world are going through a rigorous transportation policy change to make networks ready for new types of traffic. Higher government funding and spending for transportation will stimulate the demand for automation and maintenance for operators. The transportation industry, in general, will grow robustly over the forecast period because as urbanization increases, so does the demand for transportation capacity, both for people and goods. This will trigger investment to build better infrastructure to serve growing cities and communities.

Transportation Infrastructure Automation Systems Strategic Issues

In addition to providing a five-year market forecast, the Transportation Infrastructure Automation Systems market research provides detailed quantitative current market data and addresses key strategic issues as follows.

Finding the Right Partner

Construction companies today are building transportation infrastructure as mission-critical assets that need to operate 24/7/365. This means running with zero unscheduled downtime under all normal and abnormal circumstances and threats, whether security, environmental, or technical. For this reason, when planning new infrastructure projects, it is crucial to find the right partner that has solutions for these requirements. 

Industrial automation suppliers offer products and solutions with industrial-grade redundancy that are more sophisticated and diversified than those typically available from building automation suppliers. These solutions provided levels of reliability and availability that meet the stringent requirements of industries with critical continuous processes such as chemical, oil & gas, and power generation. A comparable solution from an industrial supplier may be more expensive up front, but the higher levels of reliability and availability may easily pay for themselves over the lifecycle of the asset.

Embrace Digitalization

Global megatrends are rapidly transforming the industrial operations of end users. Suppliers must now embrace smart technologies and have deep application knowledge to offer valued solutions to end users. To this end, digitalization presents a huge opportunity for end users and suppliers. Digital transformation is picking up speed and is a catalyst for long-term competitive advantages for end users. Most of all, digitalization helps create a path for the transition toward more connected and smarter systems to enhance the overall process efficiency. 

Digitalization offers numerous benefits to industrial operations. For example, digitalizing the assets and using a cloud-based architecture with predictive analytics enable end users to monitor the health and performance of assets, allowing them to predict equipment failures before they happen and minimizing unnecessary shutdowns that can cost millions of dollars. End user companies could make significant improvements in their operating performance, enabling them to succeed in today’s highly competitive market by embracing such technologies. Therefore, it is vital to seek suppliers that can become effective partners in this journey of digitalization.

Strategy Use Is Important

The global transportation industry may appear to be an opaque market, especially in the EMEA region. Railway operators work in public and private partnerships, so for a technology revolution to take place, a decisive strategy is required by buyers. Buyers should utilize strategic methodologies before making purchasing decisions.
