How Edge Platforms Are Bridging the IT/OT Gap for AI-Enabled Operations May 14, 2026 | Control & Safety Systems, Digital Transformation - Why this matters now The days of automation systems being completely isolated from the outside world are long gone. While some assets may remain air-gapped, most critical OT systems increasingly require connectivity to external systems to remain competitive. The rise of AI has only accelerated this shift, as organizations look for safe ways to move… Read More
Mining operations typically require significant volumes of water to support processing and site activities. Here are some strategies to get more value out of every gallon used in mining. May 14, 2026 | Measurement Instrumentation, Metals, Mining, Minerals - Mining Engineering Apr 2026, Optimization of Water Usage is Critical for Mine Productivity and Sustainability; by Brian Hays and Victor Mwaba https://me.smenet.org/optimization-of-water-usage-is-critical-for-mine-productivity-and-sustainability/ Read MoreLatest Posts
SaaS Is Changing the Dynamics of Predictive Maintenance
Why this matters now A strong reliability program has long been tied directly to improved production, safety, and operational performance. Today’s sensing technologies deliver unprecedented visibility into asset health, enabling teams to keep critical equipment...
Rethinking Reliability in Gold Mining: Why Run-to-Fail No Longer Pays in Critical Valve Service
Control valves sit at the center of slurry density, cyanide dosing, and recycled water duties, where small controllability problems compound directly into lost ounces. Treating those valves as commodity components rather than performance assets has become an increasingly expensive habit.
Corrosion in the Chemical Industry: From Inspection to Continuous Insight
Inline corrosion is driven by aggressive chemistry, temperature, pressure, flow effects, and phase changes that can rapidly shift operating conditions. The financial impact goes well beyond replacement cost, with unplanned downtime, environmental consequences, and safety risks often representing the largest exposure.
Understanding Valve Operations in Heat Recovery Steam Generators
HRSG valve applications span an unusually wide range of operating conditions. During startup, a feedwater valve may see the full discharge pressure of the boiler feed pump against an empty, atmospheric-pressure drum, creating severe cavitation potential.
Dead Time Compensation: What Every Control Engineer Should Know Before Turning It On
Dead time is the single most limiting factor in any control loop. It is the total elapsed time from the start of a change until it completes a trip around the entire loop and returns to the point of origin.
Improving Mining Reliability with Wireless Monitoring and Edge AI
Why this matters now Mining has always been a challenging industry. Mine sites are inherently dirty operations and are often situated in very remote locations. As critical minerals become increasingly scarce, those conditions are exacerbated, as mining operations are...
