Life sciences manufacturers face increasing pressure to ensure regulatory compliance, real-time release, and validated process control as they scale production. When measurement confidence is low, teams add manual checks, increase calibration frequency, and accept downtime that delays the next batch.
A wave of mergers is reshaping the industrial technology map. Process licensors are becoming automation vendors, and automation vendors are acquiring licensors. Why focused automation suppliers deliver the best value over the project and operating lifecycle.

In upstream Oil & Gas operations, chemical injection is one of those critical processes that rarely gets much attention—until something goes wrong. Corrosion, scale formation, and flow assurance issues can quickly turn into costly production disruptions, safety...
Across industries—from chemical and energy to life sciences—operators are being asked to do more with less. Processes must run reliably, systems must integrate smoothly, and regulatory expectations continue to rise. At the same time, traditional approaches to flow...
In dairy processing, even small measurement inaccuracies can quickly turn into product giveaway, quality risk, or compliance exposure. That’s why I’m always interested in seeing how customers apply the right instrumentation—not just to measure flow, but to improve...
Compressor surge control remains one of the most popular topics here on the blog. I took an inventory of many of the Emerson products used to control surge conditions.
Measurement instrumentation continues to get smarter as technology advances. Advanced diagnostics play a fundamental role in their accurate and reliable performance.
At home, a few measuring cups and spoons are all we need to follow a recipe. A pinch more or less rarely makes a difference. But in industrial food production, precision isn’t optional; it’s essential. Consistent processes and uniform products demand accurate...
In a POWER Magazine article and podcast, Emerson Addresses Power Industry’s AI-Driven Demand Surge, Emerson’s Seth Harris joins Executive Editor Aaron Larson to discuss these challenges and the role of automation and AI-enabled technologies to help address these challenges.
In a Fluid Handling Pro article, “Achieving Precision Measurement with the Roxar Watercut Meter from Emerson” Kelda Dinsdale shares the story of a Chinese refinery that needed to monitor and analyze the crude oil and water going into the desalter unit.
I examined some of the process automation hall of fame member Greg McMillan’s writings for the recommendations he has provided over the years to address boiler drum level control challenges.
