In a Hydrocarbon Engineering article, A Fine Balance, Emerson’s Jake Davies describes ways to address the corrosion and erosion that can wear away piping, tanks, vessels and valves in the refining process.
In a Water & Wastewater Asia article, Future-proofing the present, Emerson’s Manish Sharma describes how Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technologies can help in the transformation initiatives.
In an Automation World Article, Digital Transformation in Manufacturing: Small Steps or One Giant Leap?, Emerson’s Zach Gustafson shares how, “…taking three practical steps can generate short-term wins and achieve long-term success with Industrial Internet of Things technologies.”
In the fourth Design World article in a series on Big Data, Edge controllers bridge OT and IT systems, Emerson’s Derek Thomas explores “how results produced by edge controllers can be securely transmitted to a variety of other systems using built-in secure communication capabilities.”
Tamara Tursijan shares how a global manufacturer with aggressive corporate goals lowering their carbon footprint, enabling low-carbon energy solutions and advocating for climate action. This manufacturer improved energy efficiency by working with the Emerson team to use wireless acoustic sensors to “listen” to each of the steam traps for leaks and failure conditions.
Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) also look for ways to drive digital transformations in the equipment they provide to their customers. A great example comes from a Packaging World application note, Machine Condition Monitoring via IIoT.
