Why this matters now As explored in his recent article in Control Engineering, Emerson’s Dave Denison—leveraging his decades of experience in the automation industry—explains that OT teams face a unique challenge as AI adoption accelerates. While AI is gaining...
The common digital strategy playbook is: unify the data, layer on AI, and drive enterprise-level insight. The strategy sounds compelling in its simplicity. And for some industries and some use cases, it can work. But in regulated life sciences manufacturing, there is...
Why this matters now As explored in his recent article in Control Engineering, Emerson’s Claudio Fayad—drawing on more than 30 years of industry expertise—explains that software-defined control addresses the limits of embedded, hardware-centric designs without forcing...
Typically, when we think of artificial intelligence (AI) tools, we think of software residing in the cloud. After all, AI models require massive compute power, and as they grow, that power needs to scale rapidly. Such support is a perfect fit for cloud computing....
The Challenge There is no question that in the face of global competition, workforce shortages, and constantly shifting demand, industrial companies are under more pressure than ever to deliver more efficient, optimized operations across their enterprises. For years,...
Modern society is facing two complex challenges emerging in parallel. On one hand, electrification around the globe is expanding at a mind-blowing rate. AI, personal electronics, electric vehicles, and more have dramatically increased energy consumption, and there...
There is no shortage of content these days covering the rapid rise of artificial intelligence (AI), both in the world in general and across industrial manufacturing. AI is exciting, and will unquestionably create a paradigm shift in decision making, industrial...
For years, digital transformation seemed to stagnate. Operational technology (OT) teams were implementing new sensing devices and software, and collecting massive amounts of data, but they had trouble turning that data into actionable information. In some cases, that...
In his recent article in Power magazine, Emerson’s Mike Ames shared that the power industry, historically, hasn’t typically been a source of sweeping changes. However, recent events have changed that trend: “As the steady state behavior in power grid’s generation,...
As the use of AI spreads across nearly every aspect of human activity, the demand for more powerful, faster, and more efficient data centers continues to grow. Modern data centers, especially large-scale facilities drawing hundreds of megawatts, can now consume as...
The global experienced workforce shortage in process manufacturing comes as no surprise to anyone. Industry has been predicting an expertise cliff for years if not decades, and it’s finally here. But what people didn’t anticipate quite as clearly was the parallel...
For as little attention as it gets, hydro generation is a surprisingly important part of global power infrastructure. Many of the most critical sites around the world have been in operation for decades, reliably generating energy and supplying water management for...
