In mining operations, the comminution process reduces the mined solid materials through crushing, grinding and other means. SAG and Ball mills are one of the most critical pieces of equipment for the process. Mining operators need to optimize grinding mill performance, and reliability to ensure tight shutoff.
Join Emerson’s Andrew Cureton and Sean Collins-Dippel for an April 20 webinar at 2-3pm CDT. They will discuss ways to prevent unplanned downtime through predictive diagnostics, identify impeller cavitation for operations staff to address before the condition worsens, and recognize abnormal fluid levels in seal pots.
In a Hydrocarbon Processing article, Emerson’s Andrew Cureton looks at a variety of ways WirelessHART can support asset management strategies. If we go back in time to Emerson’s introduction of its first WirelessHART enabled instruments, they were all process...
To drive improvements in safety and reliability, it’s important to get real-time insight in the health of the critical mining assets. Not only can additional sensors provide early indication of asset performance issues, the use of preconfigured applications that use machine learning algorithms to continuously analyze process data and condition-based data can alert decision makers to act before failures occur.
In a Processing article, Emerson’s Mani Nambiar encourages companies to think beyond the immediate needs of operating in the pandemic.
Augmented reality (AR) has come a long way since it first made a worldwide splash in mobile video games. No longer considered just a toy or novelty, AR is being implemented for real-world applications that are changing the way we work and learn. One area where AR is...
New technologies that are truly different often depend on a “killer app” to convince users to take the leap. For the Internet early on, it was email. Suddenly being able to communicate near instantaneously in writing provided visible value people could latch on to, and the rest is history. For industrial users, digital transformation has been similar. How and why it has been adopted in many locations is the topic of Emerson’s Marcelo Carugo’s article in the October issue of Control.
In an article in the AFPM Summit Conference News, Emerson’s Jacob Swafford makes the case for continuous versus intermittent condition monitoring. I don’t think I have ever met a maintenance manager who said that condition monitoring is a waste of time. They agree...
Augmented reality (AR) is no longer science fiction. Organizations are using AR tools to transform the way they perform operations and maintenance, ultimately delivering better performance and greater reliability. Emerson’s Anna Velena and Vineesh Kapoor shared their...
In a Flow Control magazine article, Seven Digital Transformation Myths Exposed, Emerson’s Brian Joe offers advice on starting a digital transformation program. When we talk to companies about digital transformation, especially companies that have yet to launch a...
In an Efficient Plant article, Handhelds Enhance Field Functions, Emerson’s Alessea Lane & Jose Verdugo highlight these advancements in handheld devices monitoring equipment in the process.
Pumps do the heavy lifting of moving liquids through the production process. They consume more energy more than most types of plant assets and are subject to quite a bit of wear and tear. Online continuous monitoring enables operational performance improvements in...
