Abstract
The article considers aspects of the creation and development of automated process control systems. A comparative analysis of the main types of IS RD, as well as the peculiarities of their use are shown. Stages of development and further development of automatic control systems (ACS) were identified and considered. Devices of automated process control systems and integration of SCADA systems into the structure of ACS were studied. Existing challenges were identified and possible prospects for improvement and development were presented. It was concluded that the rational use of artificial intelligence to increase the efficiency of technological process automation.
