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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Why this matters now As explored in his recent article in Control Engineering, Emerson’s Dave Denison—leveraging his decades of experience in the automation industry—explains that OT teams face a unique challenge as AI adoption accelerates. While AI is gaining...
The common digital strategy playbook is: unify the data, layer on AI, and drive enterprise-level insight. The strategy sounds compelling in its simplicity. And for some industries and some use cases, it can work. But in regulated life sciences manufacturing, there is...
Why this matters now As explored in his recent article in Control Engineering, Emerson’s Claudio Fayad—drawing on more than 30 years of industry expertise—explains that software-defined control addresses the limits of embedded, hardware-centric designs without forcing...
Why this matters now Digital transformation hinges on overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). Used to measure the performance of both processes and individual machines, OEE is one of the most critical metrics for determining whether a digital transformation strategy is...
Typically, when we think of artificial intelligence (AI) tools, we think of software residing in the cloud. After all, AI models require massive compute power, and as they grow, that power needs to scale rapidly. Such support is a perfect fit for cloud computing....
