In this podcast, ARC Advisory Group’s Craig Resnick and Schneider Electric’s Christina Volkringer explore the fundamentals of Software Defined Automation (SDA)—what it is, why the industry is ready for it, and how it transforms traditional control systems. They discuss how SDA shifts functionality from proprietary hardware to open, software-centric platforms, enabling virtualization, centralized orchestration, and flexible deployment across diverse environments.
The conversation also dives deep into Foxboro SDA’s differentiators, including vendor-agnostic openness, cybersecurity by design, and application-centric engineering that reduces costs and accelerates time-to-value. The podcast will address how Foxboro SDA supports IT/OT convergence, enables autonomous operations, and provides a clear modernization path that protects legacy investments while embracing future-ready architectures. Topics covered will include how SDA can drive resilience, scalability, and innovation in industrial automation.
