The costs and difficulties associated with wiring and terminations have historically limited the sensors used in manufacturing and production processes to only the most essential measurements. Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)-based wireless devices have fundamentally changed this reality. However, more data from these sensors does not automatically translate into better business performance. It takes analysis […]
Author: Chip Bremer At Tuesday’s Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) Technical Session “Digitalization Deployed: Case Studies,” Emerson Automation Solutions’ Chief Technology Officer Peter Zornio provided insight on how digital transformation can “close the loop” in areas such as energy optimization, reliability and safety in the oil and gas industry. In his presentation, Zornio examined the benefits […]
We see digital transformations all around us in our daily lives—music, streaming movies and shows, transportation, etc. But what about in our world of manufacturing and production that relies on the tried and true? Many initiatives are underway as pilots and successes are being achieved. In a Chemical Processing article, 10 Steps to Jumpstart Your […]
Water & wastewater utilities can improve efficiency using Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technologies. In a WaterWorld article, Leveraging IIoT for Energy Management, Emerson’s Peter Gabor participated in a question & answer session to share his thoughts on how these utilities are incorporating IIoT. Peter noted that energy costs are a big part of total […]
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 […]
