Emerson Exchange 365

For many plants and production facilities, instrumentation devices measuring the process were limited to just what was needed for monitoring and control due to installation costs and complexity. Wireless instrumentation has opened up the opportunity to add measurements to increase reliability, improve energy efficiency, reduce emissions and increase overall safety. Jonas Berge Director, Applied Technology Emerson’s Jonas Berge wrote a follow up article, Beyond the Control Room , to his earlier Control Engineering Asia article, Second Layer of Automation . I highlighted some excerpts from the Second Layer article in an earlier post, Business Critical Measurement Instrumentation-Second Layer of Automation . In this Beyond the Control Room article, Jonas builds on how these extra measurements provide pervasive sensing to various groups across the plant: Some of these measurements collected through pervasive sensing go to the operators in the control room for increased situational...
