Why Your Process Needs Better Manifolds Now
Achieve consistently accurate pressure readings; rely on pressure transmitter damage prevention In the current economy, it’s likely you’re reaching for new ways to realize better process results. The issue is, yesterday’s “better” may not meet today’s rising standards...
Integrated Control and Safety is More Valuable than Ever
There can be little doubt that COVID-19 has significantly changed the way we all work, and a key example of that change is a massive increase in remote connectivity across industries. In a recent Control Design article examining how COVID has altered the manufacturing...
Addressing Common Misconceptions in Safety System Configuration
Traditional safety systems have a centralized architecture, meaning that a large processor unit runs hundreds of safety instrumented functions (SIF). Modern safety systems have a distributed architecture where multiple smaller processor units execute dozens of SIFs....
Utilities Find Small Digital Transformation Steps Lead to Big Returns
Digital transformation. It’s a buzzword we often hear but may not fully understand. Despite much interest in this concept, many questions remain around exactly what it is, what it means and, perhaps most importantly, where do you start? “The biggest misconception...
A Greater Return on Digital Transformation Investments
Digital transformation is about more than connecting to devices in the field. Today, we look to technology to redefine the way we work. Digital transformation and a connected workforce help us improve management and control of operations. The intersection of...
Making the Most of Built-In Proof-Testing for Your Safety Lifecycle Management
It's not surprising that safety is a top priority for plant managers and operators, but minimizing risk in these environments is no simple task. Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) are failsafes built into critical processes to maintain maximum operational integrity....
Where to Focus to Drive More ROI from a Digital Twin Simulation
As manufacturing organizations embark upon their digital transformation journey, an essential starting point is to implement a digital twin. Digital twins deliver value in project execution with easier engineering and testing. When the project is over, the same...
Building More Defendable Control and Safety Systems
A plant’s basic process control system (BPCS) and safety instrumented system (SIS) are critical infrastructure for the facility. Many decisions go into selecting these systems, and one of the most important is selecting the right architecture—a decision that will...
