In a recent LinkedIn article, Emerson’s Gertjan van der Ven, Vice President of Global Project Pursuit, argues that while boardrooms stay fixated on foundational models and enterprise chatbots, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is already doing the harder work on the plant...
Boundless Automation
AI Data Centers Are Rewriting the Rules of Power Infrastructure
TL;DR AI data centers require far more power than traditional facilities. The electrical grid cannot yet support this scale or volatility. Onsite, islanded power systems are becoming the preferred approach. Project coordination is a major challenge across multiple...
Mobile Diagnostics for the Intelligent Field: Fast, Accurate Insight for Maintenance, Instrumentation, and Valve Workflows
For more than 25 years, Bluetooth® technology has helped create a better world through openness and connection. While most people know Bluetooth technology from the devices in their pockets, the technology has quietly become a cornerstone of industrial...
Keeping Hydrogen Moving: Secure, Integrated Pipelines for the H₂ Value Chain
Why this matters now As detailed in their recent article in H2Tech, Emerson’s Martin Johnson and Phani Kanakamedala, recognized industry experts, explain that interest in hydrogen is accelerating—and that keeping H₂ moving from producers to users requires security,...
Embedded AI is the Future of Biopharmaceutical Recipe Creation
Life sciences may be the ideal industry for the implementation of AI technologies. After all, bringing a treatment all the way through the drug development process is an extremely complicated undertaking, with tremendous amounts of data and a wide array of...
Edge-Based AI Reshapes Industrial Operations
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...
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
Emerson’s Chief Technology Officer Peter Zornio outlines four foundations for advancing industrial automation in the data-driven AI era amid supply chain disruptions and tech evolution.
