(MENAFN- Straits Research) Introduction

Field device management (FDM) involves monitoring, configuring, and maintaining field instruments such as sensors, actuators, and controllers used in industrial processes. It ensures devices operate efficiently, reliably, and safely. The market is driven by growing demand for operational efficiency, cost reduction, and enhanced process reliability across industries. Opportunities arise from the need for robust device lifecycle management, remote monitoring solutions, and standardized communication protocols.

Market Dynamics Expansion of automation in energy, oil & gas, and manufacturing sectors drives the global market

The growing adoption of automation in the energy, oil & gas, and manufacturing industries is driving the global field device management (FDM) market. Companies are increasingly turning to digital platforms and advanced control systems to enhance efficiency, safety, and real-time decision-making.

• For example, in 2025, ABB rolled out a comprehensive suite of automation and digital solutions for IndianOil's cross-country pipeline network, spanning over 20,000 kilometers. The project leverages ABB's Ability SCADAvantage platform with cloud-based cybersecurity and disaster recovery, all managed under a Centralized Pipeline Information Management System.

Projects like this underscore the vital role of FDM solutions in streamlining integration, enabling predictive maintenance, and improving asset management across critical industrial operations.

Development of AI- and ML-powered predictive maintenance tools creates tremendous opportunities

The global field device management (FDM) market is seeing expanding opportunities with the rise of AI- and ML-driven predictive maintenance solutions. Industries are increasingly focusing on smart maintenance strategies that reduce downtime, improve operational efficiency, and prolong asset life. Predictive maintenance uses real-time device data to detect potential failures before they happen, enabling proactive interventions and cost savings.

• For example, in 2025, Yokogawa partnered with UptimeAI to launch AI-powered predictive maintenance capabilities that analyze signals from devices and assets. This collaboration illustrates how vendors are integrating machine learning models directly into field-device workflows, supporting faster decision-making and quicker ROI.

These innovations underscore the transformative role of AI in boosting the reliability and performance of FDM systems worldwide.
