Why this matters now Modern manufacturing organizations have invested heavily in sensing technologies and reliability software to improve visibility into plant operations. While these tools have delivered value, they have also introduced new challenges when deployed...
Why this matters now Artificial intelligence is evolving at a rapid pace, transforming how organizations across industries access and leverage data. However, in operational technology (OT) environments, this evolution must be carefully managed to maintain safety,...
Why this matters now One of the consequences of a vast improvement in the capability and affordability of sensing devices over the last few years has been a significantly increased risk of overwhelming operational technology (OT) teams with too much data. Data is...
Why this matters now As explored in his recent article in Control Engineering, Emerson’s Dave Denison—leveraging his decades of experience in the automation industry—explains that OT teams face a unique challenge as AI adoption accelerates. While AI is gaining...
Why this matters now Renewable generation has moved from pilot projects to core capacity, and the shift to widely dispersed, remotely managed assets expands the cyber-attack surface for utilities. A resilient posture now hinges on redundant connectivity,...
The Challenge There is no question that in the face of global competition, workforce shortages, and constantly shifting demand, industrial companies are under more pressure than ever to deliver more efficient, optimized operations across their enterprises. For years,...
Cybersecurity is a critical concern for industrial manufacturers these days, particularly as high-profile incidents targeting plants have become the new normal. No organization wants to risk the production loss, safety concerns, and reputation damage that come with a...
As systems become increasingly interconnected, we talk more and more about the importance of data and, more specifically, the need to get data to the right people, in the right format, at the right time, wherever they may be. This initiative has become even more...
As more and more process manufacturers are digitalizing their operations, operational technology (OT) teams are more frequently crossing paths with information technology (IT) teams. It has, in fact, become something of a cliché—the frustrated OT team struggling to...
In their recent article in Plant Engineering, Emerson’s Claudio Fayad and Erik Lindhjem share that selecting plant control and reliability technologies is no longer a matter of convenience. Rather, project teams have shifted focus to delivering increased value across...
The world is changing rapidly, and one of the most significant changes in decades is a strong focus on sustainable operation in the energy sector. The pipeline industry in particular has had to increase focus on more sustainable operation, eliminating transmission...
The need to gather more and more data from plant systems for analytics seems to be growing exponentially, particularly as companies expand their digital transformation initiatives to improve efficiency and sustainability across their entire operations. In fact,...
