A remote operations control center, or ROCC, is more than a room with remote consoles. Its value comes from giving operators and support teams a consistent way to monitor, control, and troubleshoot assets across sites. That consistency becomes especially important as fleets add solar, wind, hydro, battery storage, and conventional generation, often with different control platforms.
When a slurry valve fails in a remote part of a mine site, the cost goes well beyond the part: callouts, difficult access, personnel exposure, and lost production when a critical circuit goes down. Replacing a failed valve with the same type in the same conditions only repeats the cycle.
TL;DR LNG producers are under pressure to execute projects quickly while managing growing competition and workforce challenges. Modern digital twin simulation delivers value across the entire facility lifecycle, not just operator training. Integrated simulation...
Bill Kleyman, CEO and Co-Founder of Apolo.us and Executive Chair of Data Center Programs for Informa, talked with Bob Yeager, President of Emerson’s Power and Water Solutions business, about what it actually takes to keep that power stable once a site goes live.
When QC scheduling is disconnected from production schedules, delays, inefficiencies, and coordination challenges can ripple throughout the facility. Real-time scheduling helps eliminate those gaps by synchronizing manufacturing and laboratory activities, so both teams work from the same, current, real-time-up-to-date information.
North American infrastructure was not built for the load growth now arriving from data centers, and the top industrial turbine manufacturers are booked solid for the next two to five years. That leaves operators one practical option: get more out of the plants they already own, many of them past the 40-year mark.
The article, “How to select pressure relief valves for hydrogen and other high-pressure gas applications,” shares key requirements for pressure relief valves in these challenging applications.
Every extra alarm competes for an operator’s attention, and a flooded list buries the one message that actually matters. Standards such as ANSI/ISA 18.2 and IEC 62682 give you a framework, but the day-to-day work happens in the point configuration inside Ovation Developer Studio.
A healthy alarm program in remote operations centers is core to asset performance and starts with a sound alarm philosophy and guidelines, not with the configuration screen.
Tech transfer remains one of the slowest, most frustrating bottlenecks in life sciences manufacturing, often stretching across half a decade or more. In a recent Qualitalks podcast episode, Qualistery Managing Director Yan Kugel spoke with Emerson VP of Marketing and Experience Nikki Bishop about why these projects stall and what actually helps close the gaps.
Energy costs often represent a significant portion of operating expenses in chemical plants. A well-developed energy management system can reduce a facility’s Energy Intensity Index by 5% to 8% by connecting measurement, analytics, control, and decision-making into a continuous improvement loop.
TL;DR Digital twins are evolving beyond operator training. Modern simulation platforms support engineering, testing, and grid integration. Renewable energy projects benefit from improved system-level validation. Hybrid-fidelity modeling helps reduce simulation cost...
