It didn’t take long for the rise of the internet to upend the way process manufacturers do business. Over the span of just a few years, plants went from prioritizing a rigid, isolated control system structure to needing ways to integrate across the enterprise to...
Simulation and digital twin technology has a wide variety of uses that plants can leverage for faster projects and better operations. Recently, Chemical Processing magazine took a deeper dive into those uses, interviewing industry experts such as Emerson’s own Dustin...
Modernization. We hear it is happening everywhere, and yet, when we look at our own facilities, a modernization project looks like such a massive task that it is hard to even get started. Even though technologies in the plant may be decades old, some teams continue to...
Emerson’s Greg McMillan tackles this topic in a ControlGlobal.com article, Control Talk: Machine learning, deep learning and nonlinear controls. In the article, Greg interviews Ineos Group’s Vivek Dabhholkar.
We’ve talked a lot in this space about the way the current personnel shortage is upending process manufacturing. Control rooms are short on personnel and are more reliant than ever on automation technologies to help operators make fast, informed decisions no matter...
The ability to remotely operate offshore oil and gas platforms enables companies to minimize the number of people required on board the platform. Because less accommodation is then required, the weight of the platform can be reduced, leading to cost savings, while transporting fewer people offshore increases safety, by keeping more workers away from potential hazards, and also reduces operating costs.
The hydrocarbon industry is rapidly evolving, adapting to support new product demand, increased focus on sustainability, and an increasing need for flexibility. As a result, hydrocarbon process manufacturers have needed to dramatically change the toolbox they employ...
At the 4C Health, Safety & Environmental Conference, Emerson’s Mark Nixon presented, Early Prediction of Flare – Big Data.
In their recent article in Plant Engineering, Emerson’s Claudio Fayad and Erik Lindhjem share that selecting plant control and reliability technologies is no longer a matter of convenience. Rather, project teams have shifted focus to delivering increased value across...
People are more aware than ever of the many amazing ways new treatments can improve their lives. As a result, life sciences companies are under more pressure than ever to safely deliver new, innovative treatments to market to satisfy customer demand. The key to...
We hear a lot about reliability these days. Sensors have become more affordable, software has become more powerful, and teams are more reliant on automated monitoring to ensure unexpected failures don’t disrupt production. However, as Nina Golder shared in a recent...
There is no escaping the fact that many of today’s process manufacturing plants need to modernize. As Emerson’s Aaron Crews explains in his recent article in Control Engineering, “Plants are often using technologies that are 20 to 40 years old. In many cases, the...
