With effective wireless technologies, workers are no longer confined to a control room. Instead, they can track critical data on hand-held devices and receive real-time alerts from equipment, allowing them to respond quickly, collaborate securely, and address any issues to decrease downtime.
In a Hydrocarbon Processing article, Emerson’s Andrew Cureton looks at a variety of ways WirelessHART can support asset management strategies. If we go back in time to Emerson’s introduction of its first WirelessHART enabled instruments, they were all process...
In an AutomationWorld article, Sensor Fusion: The Swiss Army Knife of Digitalization, Emerson’s Manikandan Nambiar joins other suppliers in sharing his thoughts on the increasing capabilities in these sensors.
New technologies that are truly different often depend on a “killer app” to convince users to take the leap. For the Internet early on, it was email. Suddenly being able to communicate near instantaneously in writing provided visible value people could latch on to, and the rest is history. For industrial users, digital transformation has been similar. How and why it has been adopted in many locations is the topic of Emerson’s Marcelo Carugo’s article in the October issue of Control.
In a Control Engineering article, Emerson’s Andrew Cureton looks at several wireless protocols vying for greater adoption with industrial users. There is immense hype around 5G these days. It will change our lives, we hear - but will it be an improved solution for...
In a Power magazine article, New Monitoring and Analytics Tools Improve Plant Performance, Emerson’s Brian Joe and Juan Panama describe how Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technologies help electrical generating plants increase reliability and overall efficiency.
Jonas notes that from a process automation standpoint, you cannot become predictive with historical data alone. You cannot get real-time dashboards with historical data. You need real-time data which comes from sensors.
The FieldComm Group: …is a global standards-based non-profit member organization consisting of leading process end users, manufacturers, universities and research organizations that work together to direct the development, incorporation and implementation of...
Why all this talk about digital transformation? It really boils down to the pressure manufacturers and producers are under to remain profitable, yet do so ever more safely, efficiently, and reliably. This pressure coupled with amazing technology advancements in just...
Unlike many other industries in process manufacturing, the food & beverage industry must react much more quickly to changing consumer demands. These rapid changes challenge these manufacturers in their production practices, reliability requirements, product...
In several of the upstream oil & gas-related blog posts we highlighted digital transformation opportunities and activities. But what about in the midstream sector including gas processing facilities, pipelines and storage terminals? In a Pipeline Industry Report...
At the recent 116th American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM) Annual Meeting, they discussed the many changes brought about by U.S. tax and regulatory policy changes, as well as the application of the advancing technology landscape. In the conference...
