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...
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...
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...
Automation has brought significant improvements in safety, efficiency and productivity across process industries. However, unplanned downtime continues to impact overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), with lost production and maintenance costs directly affecting...
Emerson’s Mark Nixon has collaborated with Flint Hills Resources’ Ike Brackin and COP founder and Chief Human Factors Engineer at Beville, Dave Strobhar, on a new book titled Data-to-Information Handbook: Building Effective Display Systems for Refining Processes.
At a recent Ovation Users’ Group session, Matt Pizarchik, Excitation Engineer at Emerson, covered how voltage regulators work regardless of manufacturer, the most common failure modes in the field, and the diagnostics built into Ovation excitation controls.
PRVs are the last line of defense against overpressure in ethylene plants. They protect equipment and pipelines carrying flammable hydrocarbons through extreme temperature swings, high pressures, and corrosive service. When a valve leaks during normal operation, fails to reseat after relief, or suffers a bellows rupture, the consequences extend to emissions, product loss, and personnel safety.
When the owners of a data center say that it must operate 24/7/365, they’re serious, and the thought of being at the mercy of the conventional electric grid to keep going without interruption is often not acceptable. This leaves many sites with their own surprisingly...

Artificial intelligence is reshaping infrastructure well beyond the data center, and its first pressure point is often the plant. In a keynote to the Ovation Users’ Group, one industry veteran made the case that power, water, and wastewater operators are already living inside that shift, whether they realize it or not.
