Description
EPICS, the Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System, is a set of software tools and applications which provide a software infrastructure for building distributed control systems to operate complex systems such as scientific facilities or advanced industry production processes.
But EPICS is more than code, it is also a dynamic, open-source community with deep experience from creating, adapting and operating complex and advanced science and production facilities with very high availability and robustness.
In this talk, the current EPICS council chairperson will go through basic concepts and capabilities of EPICS and enumerate benefits for commercial and industrial organisations that look to implement the next generation of advanced, distributed control system. Thoughts on how EPICS is ready to utilise future technologies such as internet of things, machine learning and data mining to augment and expand business opportunities will also be shared.
