  • Operations Management Blog: Digital Transformation to Paperless Production

    Manufacturing processes have long been paper-based with log entries, initialing, signoffs and other transactions to manually record. While automation systems have captured some of this manual recordkeeping, they have not been able to capture everything. In batch manufacturing processes that produce thousands of batches each year, maintaining paper records for each batch is a time-consuming, error-prone, and costly…

  • DeltaV Blog: Reducing System Migration Risk for Refinery Blend and Tank Farm Operations

    Regulatory bodies across the globe continue to impose stricter specifications for transportation fuels to reduce combustion byproducts. Emerson’s Murali Krishnan and Patrick Truesdale shared a story with me of an Asian refiner who needed to modernize its blend and tank farm operations to meet the sulfur-related regulations and other seasonal volatility specifications. For refiners, blending and their associated tank…

  • Operations Management Blog: Reducing Execution Errors in Cell Therapeutics Manufacturing

    In an earlier post, Managing the Chain of Identity in Cell Therapeutics Manufacturing , we highlighted how the manufacturing process of these cell therapies must be performed with absolute accuracy the first time since each batch is produced for a specific patient. It’s critical during the production process that any execution errors be identified and corrected before completion. Any errors in development, manufacturing…

  • Safety Instrumented Systems Blog: Adding Wireless Level Switches for Storage Tank Overfill Prevention

    Storage tanks holding volatile fluids must have reliable level measurements to avoid unsafe overfill conditions. A Control Engineering Asia article, Wireless vibrating fork technology enables Hengyang Petrochemical to implement cost-effective overfill prevention solution , describes how this petrochemical producer sought to reduce the risk of overfill conditions. The plant had existing non-contacting radar level measurement…

  • Operations Management Blog: Managing the Chain of Identity in Cell Therapeutics Manufacturing

    Medicines produced by pharmaceutical and biotech manufacturers are manufactured in many ways. One particular type of treatment, cell therapy, is defined as : …the transplantation of human or animal cells to replace or repair damaged tissue. From a manufacturing perspective, each therapeutic batch must be perfect the first time — because each batch is produced for a specific patient. The next unique batch, for…

  • Safety Instrumented Systems Blog: Vortex Flow Meters in Safety Instrumented Functions

    Safety instrumented systems provide a layer of protection beyond the control system to safely shutdown the process during abnormal situations. A safety instrumented function (SIF) or “safety loop” includes the sensing device, logic solver and final control element to perform safety function upon demand. Flow measurement devices are often the sensing devices in these SIFs. Some flow measurement technologies may experience…
