Interpretive Structural Modeling of the Inhibitors of Wireless Control System in Industry

The use of Information and communication technology (ICT) enabled wired process control systems has become an incumbent trend in process industry. In order to facilitate it, they commonly use Distributed control system, Supervisory control and data acquisition systems with wireless open loop control systems. Still, wireless closed loop control systems are not introduced in the process industry. So; here the authors try to analyze the inhibitors of implementing ICT enabled control system in the process industry, effectively establishing their correlations by interpretive structural modeling (ISM). Here is an attempt to unfold ISM with the use of structural self-interaction matrix, Initial reach ability matrix, and final reach ability matrix. During the second phase, a diagraph is prepared and converted to ISM. We conclude the paper with an action plan to concentrate on high driving power elements and with managerial implications.
