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 More
How Industrial AI and Edge Intelligence Enable Smarter, Faster Operations May 26, 2026 | Digital Transformation - Why this matters now Retirements, skill gaps, sustainability mandates, and global competition are reshaping modern manufacturing. While many of these challenges were anticipated years ago, early digital transformation efforts often left teams with more data—but not better decisions. As Amy Schantz, an automation expert with decades of cross-industry experience, explains in her recent article in… Read MoreLatest Posts
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.
Level Measurement: The Quiet Force Behind Safer, Smarter South African Mines
Measurement instrumentation is what lets a mine speed up without losing control. Measure the right points, control the process better, and you can push output while still meeting safety and sustainability goals.
