Practical PID Tuning for Self-Regulating Processes July 24, 2026 | Control & Safety Systems - Self-regulating processes dominate most plants, especially in pipeline pressure and flow control loops. Understanding their behavior allows engineers to anticipate how the loop will respond to changes in controller output. Accurate tuning depends on recognizing key dynamic parameters such as process gain, dead time, and time constant. Read More
Balancing Cybersecurity and Uptime in OT Environments July 23, 2026 | Cybersecurity, Power Generation, Water & Wastewater - TL;DR OT cybersecurity must balance protection with continuous uptime. IT-focused tools can disrupt critical OT operations. Fit-for-purpose OT security solutions reduce implementation risk. Effective cybersecurity strategies now assume systems are already compromised. Modernization and assessment are key starting points for improvement. Why this matters now One of the primary challenges of deploying cybersecurity technology in… Read MoreLatest Posts
How Annubar Flow Measurement Helps Reduce Energy Loss
In power generation, improving efficiency often comes down to finding opportunities to get more from the energy already being produced. One area that can sometimes be overlooked is flow measurement. Differential pressure (DP) flow measurement is used throughout power...
Closing Refinery Measurement Gaps Without Shutdowns
Refineries are pushing outages out as far as possible, so improvements that need a process penetration often wait on a wish list until the next turnaround. Every new penetration can add installation complexity, safety reviews, a potential leak path, and future maintenance requirements.
What’s New in Ovation 4.0: A Practical Tour for Automation Engineers
Ovation 4.0 moves the platform onto current Microsoft operating systems and database technology with long support horizons. It also delivers a long list of small engineering improvements that remove repetitive clicks and workarounds.
From Toolbox to Business Application: Scaling AspenTech Inmation WebStudio
AspenTech Inmation™ OT Data Fabric is designed to unify, contextualize, and govern OT data from edge to enterprise and cloud. WebStudio, its web application environment, turns that data into the dashboards and business applications people use every day.
Building Better Medical Device Assembly Machines Starts with the Process, Not the Component
For machine builders, the challenge is increasingly bigger than selecting an actuator, gripper or feeder. The real question is how to build an assembly platform that delivers repeatable performance, scales with production demand and can be reused rather than extensively re-engineered for the next machine or device programme.
Reliability Programs Deliver ROI When Maintenance Becomes Predictive
TL;DR Many manufacturers still rely heavily on reactive and preventive maintenance strategies that limit performance. Predictive maintenance can improve reliability while simultaneously reducing maintenance costs. Continuous condition monitoring provides the asset...
