How Microgrids Help Refineries Stay Powered in an Electrified World
Why this matters now Refining depends on a continuous, reliable source of power. The sites operate 24x7x365, and if a utility is unable to supply adequate power, the facility might be down for weeks as they deal with equipment damage and safely bringing systems back...
Breaking the Plateau: How Enterprise Engineering Software Unlocks Fleetwide Optimization
Why this matters now As explored in his recent article in Hydrocarbon Engineering magazine, Emerson’s Dave Denison—an expert with over 25 years in the automation industry—explains that many organizations are hitting diminishing returns from plant‑level digital...
When AI Understands the Plant: Why Industrial AI Needs Guardrails
Why this matters now One of the consequences of a vast improvement in the capability and affordability of sensing devices over the last few years has been a significantly increased risk of overwhelming operational technology (OT) teams with too much data. Data is...
Embedded AI is the Future of Biopharmaceutical Recipe Creation
Life sciences may be the ideal industry for the implementation of AI technologies. After all, bringing a treatment all the way through the drug development process is an extremely complicated undertaking, with tremendous amounts of data and a wide array of...
Turning Tabletop Exercises Into Real‑World Cyber Resilience
Cybersecurity is not and never has been a set-and-forget solution. Every day attackers identify new strategies and exploits they can use to create havoc across global infrastructure. But cybersecurity software rarely—if ever—feels like a value-add. For process...
Manufacturing Readiness Is the Next Frontier in Life Sciences AI
AI is changing drug discovery faster than most people expected. Commercial manufacturing is next. The organizations best positioned for that shift are the ones preparing now, not because they’re behind, but because the window to prepare thoughtfully is exactly when...
Build Safer, More Reliable Mining Operations
Allowing equipment to run to failure is no longer a viable option for the mining industry. With increasing competition around the world, margins have decreased sharply, and mining organizations are feeling increasing pressure to eliminate downtime and potential...
Unifying Industrial Operations: How the Enterprise Operations Platform Accelerates Modernization
Why this matters now As detailed in his recent article in Control Engineering, Emerson’s Brian LaMothe, a recognized industry expert, explains that operators can no longer rely on plant‑level improvements alone. The most competitive organizations are modernizing...
Digital Frameworks Transform Drug Development
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated development of a vaccine in record time, the biopharmaceutical industry has seen significant change. Today, we know that faster development is possible, though it is still challenging. That has increased the...
Reinventing Process Control: Why Software‑Defined Architecture Enables AI‑Driven Operations
Why this matters now As explored in his recent article in Smart Industry, Emerson’s Dave Denison—leveraging more than two decades of automation expertise—explains that AI, machine learning, and advanced control workloads are pushing traditional controllers beyond...
Part 2: Execution Intelligence: Embedding AI Inside Validated Manufacturing
In Part 1, we explored why digital strategies that sit above operations break down in regulated life sciences manufacturing. When analytics are disconnected from validated execution, insight loses the context required to support quality, compliance, and release...
