EXECUTIVE BRIEF: We examine trends in real time control compute hardware Executive Summary For seventy years, the question “what controls the machine” had one answer: a ruggedized, single-purpose box on a DIN rail, programmed in a language that looked like a relay schematic. That answer is no longer singular. Market data through mid-2026 shows the traditional PLC market still growing at a healthy 4–11% compound annual rate depending on the research house consulted — but grow
