Ovation Blog: How Microgrids Help Refineries Stay Powered in an Electrified World

Jim Cahill

Why this matters now Refining depends on a continuous, reliable source of power. The sites operate 24x7x365, and if a utility is unable to supply adequate power, the facility might be down for weeks as they deal with equipment damage and safely bringing systems back online. However, reliable power has become more challenging to come […]

Safety Instrumented Systems Blog: Non-Intrusive Measurements: Closing Critical Gaps Without Shutdowns

Jim Cahill

The challenge for many refiners is whether the installation risk, outage dependency, and ongoing maintenance burden can be justified. When those barriers remain in place, uncertainty forces conservative decisions. Non-intrusive measurement directly targets those constraints by allowing new measurement points to be added without cutting into piping, breaking containment, or waiting for outages. The post Non-Intrusive…

DeltaV Blog: Part 2: Execution Intelligence: Embedding AI Inside Validated Manufacturing

Jim Cahill

In Part 1, we explored why digital strategies that sit above operations break down in regulated life sciences manufacturing. When analytics are disconnected from validated execution, insight loses the context required to support quality, compliance, and release decisions. The next step is not abandoning enterprise data platforms—but evolving how, and where, intelligence is applied. From […]

DeltaV Blog: Part 1: Why AI in Life Sciences Must Be Grounded in Validated Execution

Jim Cahill

The common digital strategy playbook is: unify the data, layer on AI, and drive enterprise-level insight. The strategy sounds compelling in its simplicity. And for some industries and some use cases, it can work. But in regulated life sciences manufacturing, there is a constraint that fundamentally shapes how intelligence must be applied: Manufacturing insight must […]
