To say we don’t know exactly what the future holds as AI continues to grow and evolve on a daily basis is, quite frankly, an understatement. AI is positioned to upend nearly everything we do, and process manufacturing is no exception. Yet, while it seems like there is...
The industrial edge is changing. For years—maybe decades—the industrial edge has been defined as the site where operations happen. The hardware and computing systems closest to assets are critical, but they are not everything the edge can be. As Claudio Fayad explains...
As more and more generative AI (GenAI) engines seem to emerge every day, it is easy to forget that GenAI isn’t the only artificial intelligence people and companies are using to drive efficiency and reliability. It’s true that GenAI is opening up new vistas of...
Much of the focus on green energy is centered around solar and wind generation. However, there are many different potential sources of green energy, and one of the most exciting, if not the most well-known, is green hydrogen (GH2). From pilot programs testing GH2...
In the last couple of years, software-defined control has rapidly gained a lot of attention in the marketplace. That’s no surprise. It’s set to upend the way we see and use automation in the years ahead. In a recent interview in Control Design, Emerson’s Sean Saul...
Control technologies have changed greatly over the years. Many of today’s modern industrial controllers would be almost unrecognizable when set side-by-side with controllers from decades ago. A key contributor to this shift has been digitalization. Digital...
As technology progresses, it opens up new opportunities for streamlining processes to drive increased reliability and operational excellence. This trend is as true in the life sciences as it is in any other process manufacturing industry. In fact, it might be more...
Nothing in the past decade has created the same levels of excitement, ideation, and trepidation that we have seen with the rise of artificial intelligence (AI). In reality, there have been very few technologies in the history of the world that have risen in popularity...
We all know cybersecurity is critical to safe and successful operation of our businesses. Moreover, most of us know that we could be doing more when it comes to cybersecurity. After all, we see new cyberattacks in the news almost every day, sometimes happening to...
When people think of hydrogen (H2) as an energy source, they typically think of fuel cells, the exciting technology that might someday soon power electric vehicles and other elements of our daily lives. But fuel cells aren’t the only way that H2 is useful for...
If there’s one thing that has been repeatedly proven true in the life sciences industry, it’s that automation drives success. After all, automation leads to repeatability, fewer mistakes, higher safety, and faster outcomes. This high success rate for automation in...
Solar generation has been around for a very long time. However, until recently, it always made up a very small percentage of global power generation. As a result, solar generation was never really considered critical infrastructure. Today, however, that dynamic is...
