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 since then. Now, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)-based sensors can feed much of […]
Over on IHS Markit’s CERAWeek On Demand channel, you’ll find many of the sessions and one-on-on interviews from last week’s CERAWeek conference in Houston. For example, here’s a one-on-one conversation between IHS Markit’s David Hicks and Emerson’s Melissa Ruths. In it, Melissa highlights the technologies, products, solutions and services that are part of the Plantweb […]
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 process control. New insights are now available to other critical equipment – […]
We know that manufacturers and producers undergoing digital transformation journeys need to consider people, processes and technologies along the path to better performance. Technology alone won’t cause a transformation, but it plays a very important role. The Plantweb digital ecosystem is a scalable portfolio of technologies, software and services that can be applied in the […]
Manufacturers and producers can take steps in their digital transformation journeys to improve energy efficiency and reduce unaccounted for losses. In a comment to an earlier post, Jonas Berge highlighted 7 ways: Steam trap failure detection Relief valve seat passing detection Relief valve release detection Heat Exchanger fouling detection Cooling Tower fan speed optimization Air-Cooled […]
