Emerson Exchange 2025 is off to a strong start. At the opening keynote, CEO Lal Karsanbhai and CTO for Emerson’s Aspen Technology business, Claudio Fayad, introduced a core component of this year’s gathering, the reveal of Emerson’s Project Beyond. Project Beyond...
Control & Safety Systems
Congratulations to Newly-Minted Hall of Fame Member, Duncan Schleiss!
Duncan Schleiss led the product management & development of the DeltaV control system from its inception to its industry leadership. Duncan joins a host of luminaries in automation that have advanced the technologies and solutions to drive greater performance in safety, efficiency, reliability, and profitability for manufacturers and producers.
Driving Reliability Performance Improvements for Power Producers
In a Power article, The POWER Interview: Emerson Exec Discusses Grid Enhancements, Emerson’s James Nyenhuis shares ways technology and transformed work practices can drive reliability performance enhancements.
Angular Coordinate Method for Compressor Surge Control
The angular coordinate method allows to simplify the multi-level operation of the compressor to a one-dimensional visualization of the safe operating zone, presenting it as a direct comparison of the process variable with the set value, which is the most common and convenient practice for plant operators monitoring processes in the DCS.
Advanced PID Control Techniques in Centrifugal Compressors
A PID-based control strategy can manage surge margin by using feedforward signals from flow, pressure, or compressor speed fluctuations.
One Platform to Rule Them All
AI seems to be everywhere these days. It’s on our phones, it interacts with us when we need customer service, it’s generating art and entertainment—the list goes on and on. However, one place where AI tools don’t seem to be making an appearance is at the...
DeltaV Edge 2.0 Empowers Life Sciences with Easy Batch Data Access
Emerson’s Nikki Bishop and Franz Valmonte join podcast host Jim Cahill to discuss innovations in DeltaV Edge 2.0 to help pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical manufacturers reduce time to market and release times for the medicines and therapeutics they deliver to the world.
MES Done Right
Automation in the process manufacturing industry is nearly always complex. Not only must automation technologies carefully orchestrate operations, but they must also monitor safety, reliability, efficiency, and these days, even sustainability. The distributed control...
Understanding Generator Excitation Systems in Power Generation
Effective excitation control is the cornerstone of reliable synchronous generator operation for commercial utilities. The Ovation Excitation System offers a native generator exciter and excitation control system for all synchronous generators.
Unraveling the Cybersecurity Knot: How OT Teams Can Leverage Automation Experts
It has become increasingly obvious that the need for strong cybersecurity is not going to go away. Operational technology (OT) assets have increasingly become targets of both large-scale and small-scale attacks, often with devastating effects. OT teams need to be...
Better Understanding Compressor Surge
Process automation hall-of-fame member Greg McMillan made his book about centrifugal and axial compressor control freely available for download in PDF form.
Taming Alarm Overload for a Smarter, Safer Future
Sometimes, you really can have too much of a good thing. Everyone knows effective alarms are critical to running a safe, efficient plant. In recent years, digitalization has leveled the playing field on alarms. With modern control systems, alarms are easier and faster...
