Why this matters now As explored in his recent article in Control Engineering, Emerson’s Dave Denison—leveraging his decades of experience in the automation industry—explains that OT teams face a unique challenge as AI adoption accelerates. While AI is gaining...
Smart Approaches to Safety System Implementation
In industrial automation, much of the focus tends to be on the distributed control system (DCS). However, an equally important system exists—the safety instrumented system (SIS). The SIS does exactly what its name implies: keep plant personnel and assets safe. It is a...
Software-Defined Control: How Modern Compute and Virtualization Are Rewiring Plant Performance
Why this matters now As explored in his recent article in Control Engineering, Emerson’s Claudio Fayad—drawing on more than 30 years of industry expertise—explains that software-defined control addresses the limits of embedded, hardware-centric designs without forcing...
How Integrated SCADA and Analytics Drive OEE and Digital Transformation
Why this matters now Digital transformation hinges on overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). Used to measure the performance of both processes and individual machines, OEE is one of the most critical metrics for determining whether a digital transformation strategy is...
Building an OT-Friendly Path to Advanced AI
Typically, when we think of artificial intelligence (AI) tools, we think of software residing in the cloud. After all, AI models require massive compute power, and as they grow, that power needs to scale rapidly. Such support is a perfect fit for cloud computing....
Turning Renewable Data into Actionable Grid Intelligence
Managing power generation is complex even in the best of times, but with an emerging new energy economy, operations have become significantly more difficult. Today, organizations are not just trying to manage many different OEM versions of a single type of generation...
How Industrial Companies Can Modernize with AI Without Costly Rip‑and‑Replace Strategies
The Challenge There is no question that in the face of global competition, workforce shortages, and constantly shifting demand, industrial companies are under more pressure than ever to deliver more efficient, optimized operations across their enterprises. For years,...
Mastering Hybrid Generation with Integrated Control
Modern society is facing two complex challenges emerging in parallel. On one hand, electrification around the globe is expanding at a mind-blowing rate. AI, personal electronics, electric vehicles, and more have dramatically increased energy consumption, and there...
