One really good podcast and website about all things "Internet of Things" is Stacey Higginbotham's Stacey on IoT. In a post, There are 3 different versions of the IoT, she highlights the three versions, consumer IoT, enterprise IoT, and industrial IoT. We spend quite...
The costs and difficulties associated with wiring and terminations have historically limited the sensors used in manufacturing and production processes to only the most essential measurements. Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)-based wireless devices have...
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...
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...
One of the byproducts of control and safety systems is the accumulation of Big Data. By itself, this data is not useful, unless as ControlGlobal.com editor Jim Montague explains in an article, Alternate paths from the field to cloud, you are: …moving production data...
If you keep up with news in the world of automation, you've likely heard about IT (information technology) and OT (operational technology) coming ever closer together due to the potential value of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications. For many...
As the Internet of Things and the Industrial Internet of Things technologies continue to advance, opportunities to run plants more safely, reliably and efficiently advance as well. At the Dell EMC World conference next week in Las Vegas, Emerson's Mike Boudreaux will...
With all the hoopla and commotion you might be hearing about the "Industrial Internet of Things" and how it might improve operations, what might this all really mean for your manufacturing and production operations? In this short 2:30 minute YouTube video, Industrial...
Digital sensors, both wired and wireless, combined with analytic software and experts can reduce operational risks and improve reliability, production levels and energy usage. When the path between these elements includes distance and the internet, these devices...
Traditionally, most of the sensors in industrial processes were wired into the control systems or supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems. Because of the expense of the sensors, junction boxes, cabling/conduit/cable trays/etc. and installation and...
The hype-scale for the phrase "Big Data" has been with us and pegged for many years. A quick Google search yields 264 million search results. Wikipedia defines this concept as: …a term for data sets that are so large or complex that traditional data processing...
Process manufacturers and producers are under constant pressure to improve performance to remain competitive and maintain ongoing profitability. Technology can help play a large role in increasing performance through reliability, production availability, energy and...
