When you hear discussions about "the cloud" you often also hear about "the edge" where higher resolution processing can be performed. For manufacturers and producers, this edge may extend to the instrumentation itself measuring and controlling the process. In a...
Every day, our lives continue to be digitally transformed in how we communicate and engage with each other. It's not just the technologies in smart phones, smart watches and applications; it's how we use these technologies to change the way we accomplish things. The...
A NACE International paper, HRSG Tube Failures: Prediction, Diagnosis and Corrective Actions highlights the challenge of these failures: Many HRSGs were originally designed for base load operation. Recent economic factors have led to drastically increased cycling of...
The costs and difficulties associated with wiring and terminations have historically limited the sensors used in manufacturing and production processes to only the most essential measurements. Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)-based wireless devices have...
Author: Chip Bremer At Tuesday's Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) Technical Session "Digitalization Deployed: Case Studies," Emerson Automation Solutions' Chief Technology Officer Peter Zornio provided insight on how digital transformation can "close the loop" in...
In hybrid and discrete manufacturing processes, pneumatics control the dynamic movements on the machines used in the process. Internet of Things (IoT) devices can help these machines operate more safely, reliably and efficiently. In a MachineDesign article, IoT for...
In several Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)-related posts here on the blog, we discussed a number of ways these technologies can help improve performance in safety, reliability, efficiency & emissions, and production for process manufacturers. But what about...
Process manufacturing involves moving fluids through pipes and vessels. A major concern in many industries is the corrosion and erosion that may occur inside the pipe walls. Corrosion monitoring systems are designed to track this degradation process. In a Flow Control...
We see digital transformations all around us in our daily lives—music, streaming movies and shows, transportation, etc. But what about in our world of manufacturing and production that relies on the tried and true? Many initiatives are underway as pilots and successes...
Water & wastewater utilities can improve efficiency using Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technologies. In a WaterWorld article, Leveraging IIoT for Energy Management, Emerson's Peter Gabor participated in a question & answer session to share his thoughts...
Even back when I was a young engineer in the 1980s, we had condition monitoring solutions for our large turbine generators and compressors on the offshore oil & gas production platforms in the Gulf of Mexico. Condition monitoring technology has advanced greatly...
