I had heard from a third party vendor on the site that Profibus issues (for communication to drives) was one of the major issues at site. I wonder if that was accurate or still true if so.

Profibus is a generic protocol for sensors and machines talking to each other (analog to JSON for web resources) so that essentially means they had problems with systems integration, e.g. getting machines integrated into the production lines.

Pretty surprising actually, I thought their problems were beyond that hurdle (e.g. the automation already works but has reliability problems).
