In hybrid and discrete manufacturing processes, pneumatics control the dynamic movements on the machines used in the process. Internet of Things (IoT) devices can help these machines operate more safely, reliably and efficiently. In a MachineDesign article, IoT for Pneumatic Systems, Emerson’s Enrico De Carolis describes how these devices, such as a pneumatic valve manifold, […]
In several Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)-related posts here on the blog, we discussed a number of ways these technologies can help improve performance in safety, reliability, efficiency & emissions, and production for process manufacturers. But what about hybrid and discrete manufacturers? In a Control Engineering article, IIoT-ready technologies improve machine controls, Emerson’s Steven Fales […]
Water & wastewater utilities can improve efficiency using Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technologies. In a WaterWorld article, Leveraging IIoT for Energy Management, Emerson’s Peter Gabor participated in a question & answer session to share his thoughts on how these utilities are incorporating IIoT. Peter noted that energy costs are a big part of total […]
Even back when I was a young engineer in the 1980s, we had condition monitoring solutions for our large turbine generators and compressors on the offshore oil & gas production platforms in the Gulf of Mexico. Condition monitoring technology has advanced greatly since then. Now, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)-based sensors can feed much of […]
There is much talk this week at CERAWeek 2019 about the need to get data from Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) sensors and final control devices “out to the cloud” for collaboration. But how? IIoT technologies provide the opportunity to expand monitoring beyond process control. New insights are now available to other critical equipment – […]
