Advanced automation technologies offer scalable solutions. These range from wireless acoustic transmitters that detect steam trap leaks in real time to predictive analytics that flag failing batches before they waste precious energy and materials. Even better, many of these tools offer short ROI timelines—sometimes within months.
About 150 years ago, L. L. Zamenhof created Esperanto to be an international language that the entire world could adopt. While his aims were noble, it didn’t catch on. Process manufacturers have had similar problems because instrument and device-level industrial...
To drive improvements in safety and reliability, it’s important to get real-time insight in the health of the critical mining assets. Not only can additional sensors provide early indication of asset performance issues, the use of preconfigured applications that use machine learning algorithms to continuously analyze process data and condition-based data can alert decision makers to act before failures occur.
From my RSS feed, an Automation World article, Wireless Eliminates Ground Loop Noise, caught my attention. It brought back memories of being a systems engineer on offshore oil and gas production platforms. These platforms are huge steel structures and as such, have a...
