The story of industrial automation begins with the Industrial Revolution, when machines first replaced human muscle, and extends to today’s advanced systems that operate some of the most complex industrial infrastructures on the planet.  

In today’s bonus episode, we explore that evolution through the eyes of the control room operator – tracing their journey from hands-on manual control to high-level system optimization.  

Stefan Basenach, Senior Vice President of Process Automation Technology at ABB, joins host Fran Scott on the podcast to delve into automation’s engineering and innovating milestones.
