  • Leverage Life Sciences Software to Reduce Time to Market

    The days of maintaining paper records across the life sciences development and production pipeline are gone. Today’s regulatory requirements, not to mention the complexity of new treatments, requires organization that can only be provided electronically. However, while many life sciences teams have moved to electronic records software , many teams are still inadvertently creating data silos—both horizontally across business…

  • Digital Transformation in the Manufacturing Industry

    In recent years, there has been a lot of talk about digital transformation within the manufacturing industry. Many companies have been hesitant to invest in this type of transformation due to perceived cost and disruption concerns. However, it is recommended to focus on one problem at a time and then worry about scaling up. Doing so will help maintain sustainability goals and optimize energy costs. … When pneumatic…

  • Today’s Modernization Technologies Eliminate Rip-and-Replace

    Modernization projects have become more important than ever as the benefits of updated control technologies such as better HMIs, advanced process control , better integration with asset management systems, improved alarm management , and more have all transitioned from “nice features” to best practices. But traditional modernizations were often expensive and required extensive downtime, two things that few plants can…

  • Reduce the Complexity and Cost of Modernization

    One of the most difficult challenges many of today’s process manufacturing plants face is modernization. Operations and maintenance teams know that they cannot drive the best possible performance and sustainability using technologies that are 20 or 30 years old; however, many feel locked into their legacy control technologies because transitioning is complex, time consuming, and expensive. Emerson’s Monil Malhotra recently…

  • Module Type Package Unlocks the Flexibility Driving Pharma Innovation

    There can be little question that Industry 4.0 technologies are reshaping the way life sciences companies operate. In the wake of the rapid development of vaccines during the COVID-19 pandemic , more facilities than ever are being “born digital.” Some of these born-digital facilities are the result of new organizations with entirely digital strategies, and others are biopharmaceutical organizations that have been around…

  • Data Defines the Future of Control

    We hear so much today about digital transformation, but, as Emerson’s Claudio Fayad explains in his recent article in Processing magazine , digital transformation has been happening for far longer than we all imagine. In fact, “The modern distributed control system (DCS) has been digitally transforming operational technology (OT) for well over 20 years now.” What has this meant for operations teams? It has resulted…
