A series of LinkedIn posts published discussing many aspects of the importance of this integration, and its role in Emerson’s Boundless Automation vision.
MTP
Emerson uses the NAMUR MTP standard for integration between a DCS and multiple PLC-based systems
While process manufacturing operations are usually automated, they sometimes are not as completely integrated as end users would desire, often resulting in operational silos or islands of operation. A typical production plant may use a large DCS for process control,...
Module Type Package Unlocks the Flexibility Driving Pharma Innovation
There can be little question that Industry 4.0 technologies are reshaping the way life sciences companies operate. In the wake of the rapid development of vaccines during the COVID-19 pandemic, more facilities than ever are being “born digital.” Some of these...
Forecasting the Future of Process Control
Industry is moving away from the traditional model that locks the control system away from any internet connectivity. As Claudio Fayad, vice president of technology for Emerson’s process systems and solutions explains in his recent article in Process and Control...
Faster Tech Transfer Unlocks Speed to Market
The rapid development of the COVID-19 vaccine has created a dramatic shift in the way the public and life sciences organizations view the manufacturing of pharmaceuticals. In a recent Q&A with Pharma Manufacturing, Nathan Pettus, president of Emerson’s process...
MTP Unlocks Faster Integration for Smoother Capital Projects
Because automation is typically on the critical path of any capital project, delays in integration can have significant impacts on project timelines and costs. One of the most common areas where integrating equipment can delay project completion and startup is with...
A Step Closer to Plug-and-Play Engineering with Module Type Package
In the chemical industry, manufacturers often need to change operations or accommodate new products to meet customer demand. However, the extensive integration efforts required to connect manufacturing equipment and automation systems often complicate engineering,...
Exploring the Future of the Control System
Control systems have been a stable foundation for operational excellence and reliable, repeatable performance in manufacturing for decades. However, just as needs have changed across those decades, so too have control systems themselves, evolving to meet the...
Modular Plug and Play, MTP Will Enable More Flexible Life Sciences Manufacturing
Modular facilities are a key enabler of speed to market in life sciences. As organizations try to bring new therapies to market faster, those therapies require a wide variety of equipment—many of which are new to the process. These new machines must not only work...
