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...
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.
Inverter-based resources, or IBRs, now supply a growing share of grid capacity, yet they behave very differently from the synchronous machines that utilities have modeled for decades. Because they convert direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC) through power electronics, they lack the inherent inertia as they connect to the grid through power electronic converters rather than synchronous machines.
TL;DR High OEE does not guarantee optimal operational performance. Bottlenecks often originate outside of equipment effectiveness. Real-time scheduling provides broader visibility into the value stream. Simulation helps identify the root causes behind performance...
Plants often operate with measurement gaps that limit visibility into critical processes and assets. Organizations cannot improve what they do not measure, making accurate and accessible process data a foundational requirement for operational improvement.
Measurement instrumentation is what lets a mine speed up without losing control. Measure the right points, control the process better, and you can push output while still meeting safety and sustainability goals.
TL;DR Many life sciences manufacturers still rely on spreadsheet-based scheduling. Manual scheduling is prone to errors, delays, and limited visibility. DeltaV Real Time scheduling software dynamically adapts to plant conditions. Integrated scheduling improves...
TL;DR Many OT teams are overwhelmed by unstructured data. Data silos limit visibility and prevent actionable insights. Modern edge infrastructure improves data access and context. Edge controllers enable reliable connectivity in remote environments. Low-latency data...
8 Pressure Has Always Been a Hidden Challenge in Coriolis Measurement Coriolis flow meters are widely recognized as one of the most accurate technologies for measuring mass flow and density. However, in high-pressure applications, process pressure can influence the...
The ability to accurately and reliably measure the level of stored solids materials such as powders, grains and pellets is vital for effective inventory management and preventing safety incidents across the process and manufacturing industries. This subject is...
Solar sites are growing to 5 gigawatts, battery projects at 30 gigawatt-hours, and behind-the-meter data center projects reaching 10 gigawatts, with fleets of hundreds of sites and tens of millions of points. The Ovation Platform scales to address these challenges.
TL;DR Sustainability initiatives require efficient use of limited resources. Automation enables measurable improvements in energy use and emissions. Monitoring WAGES systems is key to identifying waste. Modern control and reliability tools reduce inefficiencies and...
