Industrial data processing

As process data processing (or process computer science ) is that portion of computer science that deals with the processes for monitoring and controlling external devices. These may be such as washing machines, for example, control and measuring devices in aircraft, industrial robots, but also traffic lights or appliances.

In the Data Processing high processing speeds and a strong specialization for the processes to be monitored are usually needed.

Process data processing is often carried out by embedded systems, since they can be used directly in the devices to be controlled due to their small sizes, and be minimized as among other signal propagation times.

Subject of process data processing is the information technology processing of the data of technical processes, ie Processes are used for forming, the transport or storage of material or energy. The name therefore does not move from the computer science concept of process as Executed program here, and in addition, it comes in contrast to conventional data processing, are processed in the most "Office Data," with the process data to industrial systems.
