Welcome To MFG TECH HUB

Making Industrial Automation Easy to Understand
At MFG Tech Hub, we’re dedicated to helping you navigate the world of Industrial Automation. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced professional, our goal is to simplify complex topics, including PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers), SCADA, DCS (Distributed Control Systems), and MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems). These systems are all interconnected through the ISA-95 and ISA-99 frameworks, which streamline industrial processes and enhance security.
What You’ll Find Here

ISA-95: Integrating Business and Manufacturing

ISA 95
Explore how ISA-95 provides a framework for connecting business operations with manufacturing processes. It defines a structure for the flow of information from enterprise-level decisions to shop floor operations, integrating systems like PLCs, DCS, SCADA, and MES for better communication and efficiency.
ISA-99: Securing Industrial Control Systems

ISA 99
Learn about ISA-99, which focuses on securing industrial automation and control systems. This standard is essential for protecting critical infrastructure from evolving cyber threats, ensuring the reliability of PLCs, SCADA, DCS, and MES within manufacturing environments.
PLC (Programmable Logic Controllers)

PLC
Learn how PLCs control machines and processes in factories. We explain their function within the ISA-95 framework, detailing how they contribute to automated control and data acquisition in manufacturing environments.
DCS (Distributed Control Systems)

Understand how DCS manages complex processes across various industries, such as oil, gas, and power generation. These systems play a crucial role in ISA-95, helping ensure safe and efficient operations.
SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition)

Discover how SCADA systems monitor and control critical industrial operations. Integrated with ISA-95, SCADA facilitates real-time data collection and process management, ensuring seamless operations in areas like water treatment and manufacturing lines.
MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems)

Find out how MES software enhances factory performance by tracking production in real time. As part of ISA-95, MES bridges the gap between business and manufacturing processes, improving overall efficiency and decision-making.
Why MFG Tech Hub?

We believe that learning about automation should be simple and accessible to everyone. At MFG Tech Hub, we break down complicated topics into easy-to-understand content so you can learn at your own pace.
