Practical PID Tuning for Self-Regulating Processes July 24, 2026 | Control & Safety Systems - Self-regulating processes dominate most plants, especially in pipeline pressure and flow control loops. Understanding their behavior allows engineers to anticipate how the loop will respond to changes in controller output. Accurate tuning depends on recognizing key dynamic parameters such as process gain, dead time, and time constant. Read More
Balancing Cybersecurity and Uptime in OT Environments July 23, 2026 | Cybersecurity, Power Generation, Water & Wastewater - TL;DR OT cybersecurity must balance protection with continuous uptime. IT-focused tools can disrupt critical OT operations. Fit-for-purpose OT security solutions reduce implementation risk. Effective cybersecurity strategies now assume systems are already compromised. Modernization and assessment are key starting points for improvement. Why this matters now One of the primary challenges of deploying cybersecurity technology in… Read MoreLatest Posts
3 Reasons Why Magnetic Level Indicators are Superior to Sight Glasses
Accurate and reliable level measurement is essential to maintaining safe and efficient plant operation across the process and power generation industries. In hydrocarbon separators, chemical reactors, storage vessels and boiler systems, automated instruments provide...
Power Orchestration Is Becoming Essential for AI Data Center Growth
TL;DR AI data centers are creating unprecedented power demands that resemble grid-scale loads concentrated at a single site. Unlike traditional facilities, AI data centers can experience rapid power consumption swings in seconds or milliseconds. Battery Energy Storage...
AI Data Centers as Critical Infrastructure: Rethinking Control, Cooling, and Automation
In this video podcast, we explore how advanced control techniques like model predictive control (MPC), data fabric architectures, and AI-assisted operations can optimize cooling systems, improve uptime, and manage highly dynamic AI workloads more efficiently.
Optimizing Process Safety with Dynamic Modeling and Accurate Flare Design
Flare systems must handle many possible emergencies, and each scenario drives decisions on valve sizes, header diameters, knockout drum capacity, and materials of construction. When relief loads are estimated without accounting for how the process actually responds during an upset, safety equipment tends to be overdesigned, which raises capital expenditures (CAPEX).
Edge Computing Helps Break Down Data Silos and Expand Industrial AI
TL;DR Many OT environments struggle with siloed data created by disconnected systems and technologies. Edge computing helps democratize data by making information more accessible across operations. Remote industries often cannot rely on cloud connectivity alone to...
Reliable Wireless Performance Starts with Reliable Power in Cold-Weather Environments
For oil and gas operators, maintaining visibility into critical process measurements is essential, especially at remote well sites, tank farms, and production facilities. In cold-weather environments, power module performance becomes increasingly important because low temperatures can increase internal battery resistance and raise the risk of communication interruptions.
