In a Global Railway Review article, Improving railway operations using pneumatics technology, Emerson’s Darryl Brunk describes the role of pneumatic technology and how it improves safety, comfort, and performance on passenger and freight trains.
With registration now open for the October 24-28, 2022 Emerson Exchange conference in the Dallas, Texas area, I wanted to make sure you were aware that the Session Catalog is available for viewing.
It’s great news that the Emerson Global Users Exchange Americas will be face-to-face for the first time since 2019, this October 24-28, in the Dallas, Texas area. Registration for this conference is now open.
When is it possible to use control valves like final elements for SIS [safety instrumented system] application? I am looking for other useful documents and technical requirements when it is possible to use only control valves as the final element instead of on/off valves and not in combination with it in the SIF [safety instrumented function] application.
New automation helps meeting Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Environmental, Social and corporate Governance (ESG) commitments to sustainability. New automation helps plants operate safer during COVID through digital transformation (DX) of routine work. New automation enables autonomous operation, remote sites running unmanned for long periods of time. New automation enables plant modernization by preparing the control system for these changes.
Much of our vibration analytics today are still based on Fourier Transform which analyzes complex vibration by superpositioning a variety of sines and cosines waves of different but related frequencies.
Reliability, responsive and precise flow control, fast response, efficient pneumatic control, high precision and repeatable electro-mechanical actuation, and source material quality are critical for improving semiconductor yield rates.
The asset health parameters across the plant can now be collected, stored, and fed real time into software algorithms. The software then processes and analyzes the data, turns it into actionable insights accessed by maintenance engineers. Depending on the criticality can be passed on for further processing and approvals, through desktops and mobile devices.
Mining pits and ore processing plants avoid failure thereby reducing reactive maintenance cost, as well as avoiding unplanned downtime and associated opportunity cost. Reduced preventive maintenance means reduced cost and associated inspection manpower, freeing personnel up for other tasks. Finally, reduced preventive maintenance outage and associated opportunity cost.
Valve sizing and selection has the same opportunity. At Emerson, our Final Control portfolio is unmatched in brand, breadth (wide and deep), and local subject matter expertise.
As we move from Industry 1.0 to Industry 4.0, equipment in the factory automation world are becoming better equipped with sophisticated automation systems. Autonomous robots are becoming a popular choice in the manufacturing world as they are cost-effective; flexible and efficient technologies are leading the growth of fully automated production lines.
Neo Chow Yang shares how Emerson’s Real-Time Modeling System allows users to visualize the facility constraints, accommodate variability, maximize production, and understand the implications of any change in the manufacturing process.
