The Nano PLC: Trends and Technologies Changing the Industry | How Does It Works and what Does It Differ from Micro PLC?
PLCs are general-purpose controller devices that are being widely used in manufacturing industries for monitoring and control of machines and processes. These devices offer advanced functions and communicate over the network to share data with respective departments for enhancing operational efficiency and reducing costs. Nano PLCs simplify the control systems in industrial environments by reducing complexity and increasing flexibility. In addition, the expandable options in nano PLCs are further increasing the capabilities of these devices to enhance and optimize the industrial processes. In the modern industrial environments, the competitive and technology landscape is changing at a fast pace. Digitalization and process automation is becoming a necessity for businesses to sustain in the highly competitive manufacturing sector.

In addition to the large automation requirements of industries, several small machines and processes require simple automation. Nano PLCs offer a great solution for such tasks and result in improved productivity with cost savings. In various industries, the major areas wherein nano PLCs are being used include infrastructure, production floor, handling machines, and service floor.
The nano PLC players are likely to have positive outlook in all the major regions during 2019–2027. However, the year-on-year growth rate is set to get affected in 2020-2021 due to the COVID 19 pandemic. The mass lockdowns, travel bans, and business shutdowns across all countries are affecting the global supply chains, thereby disrupting the sales and growth of companies operating in the global nano PLC market. Hence, this outbreak may act as burning issue hindering the sales of nano PLCs in the short term while the overall growth is anticipated to have lesser impact during the forecast period.
