At many plants around the globe, reliability strategies haven’t changed much in the last few decades. Technicians grab a documentation device—sometimes an Android or iOS device, sometimes a hardened laptop, other times, a fit-for-purpose handheld communicator—and head...
Data. You have it. You might even want more of it. And, if statistics are any guide, chances are you simultaneously see areas where you have too much of it. In recent years, as computing technology has expanded and sensing equipment has rapidly decreased in price and...
In an OPTIMIZE 24 Conference presentation, Enterprise Reliability Solution with Aspen Mtell and Emerson AMS, Emerson’s Greg Rome, and AspenTech’s Nithiya Parameswaran discussed ways to drive performance, resiliency, and sustainability improvements.
Advanced monitoring solutions provide real-time information and actionable insights that empower predictive maintenance strategies that lead to reduced downtime and help prevent quality issues.
One of the most fascinating frontiers of the new push toward more renewable forms of energy is the increase in utility-scale battery storage. More renewable sources of energy means more variability on the grid, so energy producers need a place to store that energy...
There is a lot of talk these days about the rise of AI. It’s not only that the technology is so new and exciting, with so much potential to change the world. AI is also a hot topic because the global environment is right for the changes it can bring. A workforce...
When considering ways to improve and secure operational excellence, organizations frequently overlook one key area: reliability and maintenance. In the struggle to define new ways to improve operations, it is easy to forget that even the most perfectly refined process...
If you wonder how to move, from a simplistic and superficial view of the production process and start building the backbone of a proven methodology that can be replicable in time, adaptable to changes and at the same time make space for operational improvements, one...
Plants need a strong pipeline of data to help them ensure optimal performance. We spend a lot of time talking about how to collate, transmit, and store that data so it is easily accessible whenever and wherever people need it. However, all that strategizing is of...
Many plants are facing personnel shortages, but the truth of the matter is that today’s biggest problems can’t be solved simply by finding more people. As organizations tackle more and more complex problems like driving down emissions, increasing efficiency, reducing...
It is often said that the COVID-19 pandemic was one of the biggest catalysts of digital transformation in many process manufacturing organizations. Operations and maintenance teams that would never before have considered adding remote systems quickly discovered they...
Today’s plant maintenance looks very different from a picture of just 10 or 15 years ago. The tools and strategies that reliability teams have at their disposal have expanded dramatically—from new sensing technologies to comprehensive software solutions to track and...
