Refineries are pushing outages out as far as possible, so improvements that need a process penetration often wait on a wish list until the next turnaround. Every new penetration can add installation complexity, safety reviews, a potential leak path, and future maintenance requirements.
Vessels transporting liquefied gases at sea incorporate specialized storage tanks, which must be equipped with both a tank gauging system and a safety system. The tank gauging system provides continuous measurement of liquid levels for inventory management and custody...
AI workloads are pushing rack densities to 100 kilowatts per rack or more, and the liquid cooling loops that support them add complexity that commercial meters were not built to handle. Any service interruption carries significant financial consequences through service-level agreement penalties. In some AI-focused facilities, cooling accounts for roughly 30 to 40% of total facility energy use, so measurement accuracy directly affects both cost and uptime.
In a recent LinkedIn article, “Smart Plant and Automation Modernization,” Emerson’s Jonas Berge, ISA Fellow and digital transformation advisor, lays out what a modern smart plant automation ecosystem should include, from field sensors and valves to the distributed control system (DCS), safety instrumented system (SIS), and device management software.
Continuous monitoring gives operators the visibility needed to improve safety, availability, cost control, and performance
Rechenzentren für künstliche Intelligenz stellen neue Anforderungen an die Kühlinfrastruktur. Von der präzisen Durchfluss- und Druckmessung bis hin zur kontinuierlichen Überwachung der thermischen Leistung zeigt dieser Artikel, wie zuverlässige Messlösungen dabei helfen, Daten in nützliche Informationen umzuwandeln, um die Verfügbarkeit und Leistung der Systeme zu optimieren.
Data center project teams face mounting pressure from higher thermal loads, the adoption of liquid cooling systems, growing integration points between equipment, and aggressive schedules that leave little room for rework. In this environment, measurement is no longer simply about monitoring performance. It provides the operational confidence needed to commission systems faster, validate readiness, and maintain uptime.
I data center dedicati all’intelligenza artificiale pongono nuovi requisiti alle infrastrutture di raffreddamento. Dalla misurazione precisa della portata e della pressione al monitoraggio continuo delle prestazioni termiche, questo articolo illustra come soluzioni di misurazione affidabili consentano di trasformare i dati in informazioni utili per ottimizzare la disponibilità e le prestazioni dei sistemi.
Energy costs often represent a significant portion of operating expenses in chemical plants. A well-developed energy management system can reduce a facility’s Energy Intensity Index by 5% to 8% by connecting measurement, analytics, control, and decision-making into a continuous improvement loop.
Los centros de datos dedicados a la IA plantean nuevos requisitos para las infraestructuras de refrigeración. Desde la medición precisa del caudal y la presión hasta la supervisión continua del rendimiento térmico, este artículo muestra cómo las soluciones de medición fiables permiten transformar los datos en información útil para optimizar la disponibilidad y el rendimiento de los sistemas.
Measurement instrumentation is what lets a mine speed up without losing control. Measure the right points, control the process better, and you can push output while still meeting safety and sustainability goals.
Most devices are smart, but the data is often stranded in the device. What is usually missing is written instructions, carried through procurement and design, that say which data comes out, where it lands, and what someone does with it. Without the instructions, the asset management software ships uninstalled or installed but not utilized, the input/output cards get ordered without HART capability, and the plant starts up with 4-20 milliamp signals and nothing else.
