Automation industry case study

The Measurement, Control and Automation (MC&A) industry is a universal business producing products and services worth over $58 billion annually. The market is estimated to grow at a 3% rate through 2010. To date, 6 of the leading producers account for 62% of global MC&A revenues.

Challenge

In an industry where the typical life cycle of products is just 18 months to 2 years, time to market is critical.

MC&A products are used for process control and factory automation in automotive production, chemical process industries (CPI), electric power generation, water supply and waste treatment, semi-conductor fabrication and other industrial operations.

Consider the life-threatening nature of any failure in the application of the products, constantly changing technology, large volumes of text, numerous ordering and delivery methods, and you begin to see the bigger picture – the need for a specialised and accurate translation solution provider with a flexible approach.
