You may have heard the phrase “Digital Twin” bandied about in our world of automation. It may conjure up mental images of models, simulations, training systems, and more. In an Institution of Civil Engineers article, Defining the digital twin: 7 essential steps, Emerson’s Mart Berutti defines digital twin with these characteristics: Represents assets in the […]
Some of the most perennially popular posts (say that fast 10 times!) here on the blog involve axial or centrifugal compressor surge control, or better stated—anti-surge control. In a paper presented at this year’s AIChE Spring Meeting, Emerson’s Greg McMillan—a member of the Process Automation Hall of Fame—presented Compressor Surge Modeling and Control. In his […]
Digitalization has brought a wealth of streams of data. Data by itself does nothing to improve performance but channeling this flow into analytical tools and revised work processes is a basis for undergoing a digital transformation. A new white paper, Emerson Digital Twin: A Key Technology for Digital Transformation, highlights the important role of digital […]
Simulation technology continues to advance to improve manufacturing performance in both the capital project and ongoing operations phases. We’ve highlighted examples of how these performance gains are achieved in earlier posts with Emerson’s Ronnie Bains. Today at 10:00 AM EST / 4:00 PM CET, Ronnie will join a webinar hosted by simulation experts from Aspen […]
At the 2018 Ovation Users’ Group Conference, Emerson’s James Thompson and Sheldon Willis provided an update on embedded simulation in the Ovation distributed control system. Ovation-based high-fidelity simulator models are embedded directly into virtual Ovation controllers as compared with the more traditional approach with third-party models that run in separate hardware. This single platform for […]
