What Guided Wave Radar Echo Curves Reveal About Your Level Measurement May 29, 2026 | Level, Oil & Gas - Guided wave radar (GWR) transmitters are among the most widely deployed level instruments in upstream oil and gas production. Yet, many installations underperform because the echo curve is never examined after commissioning. Read More
Balancing Accuracy and Cost in Oil & Gas Flow Measurement May 27, 2026 | Measurement Instrumentation, Oil & Gas - Selecting the right flow meter for upstream or midstream operations often comes down to a balancing act between measurement accuracy and cost. In today’s cost-conscious oil & gas sector, many operators face tough decisions: Is investing in a premium, high-accuracy meter worth the extra cost, or can a lower-priced traditional meter suffice? Making this choice… Read MoreLatest Posts
In a recent Emerson webinar, the NI team showed how Nigel AI now generates LabVIEW code and expands across the LabVIEW+ Suite to reduce the effort of spending hours researching hardware, developing acquisition code, and untangling projects inherited from someone else.
Digital Twins Are Becoming a Foundational Platform for Modern Power Operations
TL;DR Digital twins are evolving beyond operator training. Modern simulation platforms support engineering, testing, and grid integration. Renewable energy projects benefit from improved system-level validation. Hybrid-fidelity modeling helps reduce simulation cost...
Alarm Management Fundamentals: Configuring Ovation Points for Cleaner, More Actionable Alarms
Every extra alarm competes for an operator’s attention, and a flooded list buries the one message that actually matters. Standards such as ANSI/ISA 18.2 and IEC 62682 give you a framework, but the day-to-day work happens in the point configuration inside Ovation Developer Studio.
Meeting Grid Interconnection Requirements for Inverter-Based Resources
Inverter-based resources, or IBRs, now supply a growing share of grid capacity, yet they behave very differently from the synchronous machines that utilities have modeled for decades. Because they convert direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC) through power electronics, they lack the inherent inertia as they connect to the grid through power electronic converters rather than synchronous machines.
OEE Is a Diagnostic Tool, Not the Goal
TL;DR High OEE does not guarantee optimal operational performance. Bottlenecks often originate outside of equipment effectiveness. Real-time scheduling provides broader visibility into the value stream. Simulation helps identify the root causes behind performance...
Closing Measurement Gaps with Non-Intrusive Measurement Technologies
Plants often operate with measurement gaps that limit visibility into critical processes and assets. Organizations cannot improve what they do not measure, making accurate and accessible process data a foundational requirement for operational improvement.
