In a recent edition of Control Engineering magazine, I had the opportunity to discuss a very unique and interesting case study involving a new water system in the world’s largest greenfield city, NEOM. I’d like to share some of the details of that article with you....
Dealing with outdated legacy systems is a challenge for nearly all industrial companies. In the fast-paced solar energy space, shifting market demands, regulatory requirements and increasing competition drive the need for modern capabilities to meet these new...
As pressures to maintain profitability in the oil and gas market increase, while the demand for sustainability likewise rises exponentially, taking advantage of carbon credits achieved by reduction in flare gas becomes increasingly attractive. In one notable case,...
Energy costs are always a major issue for manufacturers in all industries, and reducing energy use is a top priority for plant operators because of both environmental and budgetary concerns. A large global consumer packaged goods manufacturer needed to reduce energy...
When buying hardware and software for their systems, OEMs need to consider not just which products will do the job, but also those that will make life easiest for their end-user customers. This was the case for copper-winding OEM, Sipro, a winding and assembly...
While historically, PLCs might have been thought of as “simple machine control,” today’s complex applications speak to the increasing sophistication of PLC/PAC technology as well the rapid growth in the discrete and hybrid marketplace. One such example is the use of...
Many industries can benefit from an easy, seamless integration of PLC-based technology with DCS, but not all companies know how to approach such an integration. This case study is an interesting example of such an integration that saved a thermal power station...
Manish Sharma’s Machine Design article, “Giving Semiconductor Foundries a Needed Edge” describes how the application of specific edge technologies support integrated and efficient foundry operation through the use of coordinated visualization, automation, IIoT, and analytical software.
In a Water & Wastewater Asia article, Future-proofing the present, Emerson’s Manish Sharma describes how Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technologies can help in the transformation initiatives.
Access to fresh drinking water is paramount for life. The utilities that provide to the communities in which they operate are constantly challenges in performing this service. In a Water & Wastes digest article, Digital Transformation is the Path to Smart Water...
