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...
Boundless Automation
Advancing Hydro Operations Through Next-Generation Automation
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...
Moving Beyond Control to Factories that Understand
What happens in industrial automation when control is no longer enough? It’s highly likely we will soon find out. After all, the rigid, siloed control structures of the past—built to implement deterministic boundaries—no longer serve the needs of an increasingly...
Turning Green Hydrogen Ambition into Reliable, Scalable Reality
Much of the focus on green energy is centered around solar and wind generation. However, there are many different potential sources of green energy, and one of the most exciting, if not the most well-known, is green hydrogen (GH2). From pilot programs testing GH2...
Turning Hydrogen’s Promise into Operational Excellence
When people think of hydrogen (H2) as an energy source, they typically think of fuel cells, the exciting technology that might someday soon power electric vehicles and other elements of our daily lives. But fuel cells aren’t the only way that H2 is useful for...
Driving Performance with Automation and AI
Emerson’s Jonas Berge authored the article, Automation and AI for Operational Excellence in Refining and Petrochemicals, and how they enable greater performance across many dimensions, including safety, sustainability, reliability, and production.
Four Foundations for Data-Driven AI

AI Lives on the Edge
We have talked a lot in this space about the importance of a boundless automation vision for successfully deploying AI into the OT space. After all, AI needs loads of data, and if that data is trapped in silos, it can’t get to the data lakes, analytics applications,...
Reliability Solutions Require the Right Tools
Today’s reliability teams face something of a catch-22. As experienced personnel have retired from process manufacturing in droves, plants have fewer and fewer expert staff with each passing year. That means fewer people are available to collect the critical...
A Powerful Platform for Digital Grid Management
One of the most prominent topics of discussion at the Ovation™ Users’ Group Conference 2025 has been the increasing challenges the grid faces as electrification continues to expand across the globe. In his presentation on Tuesday, Adam Wortz dug into the details to...
Context Is the New Currency in Industrial AI
It feels today as if the whole world is consumed by a focus on AI. In media, in industry, and even in our day-to-day lives, AI tools have come front and center at an almost unheard-of pace. In industrial manufacturing, the rise of AI is incredibly apparent. While it...
