  • Increasing safety through continuous monitoring of containment areas

    Jim Cahill
    Failure to prevent overfills and leaks in storage tanks containing hazardous materials can have catastrophic consequences. By enabling containment areas to be continuously monitored, Emerson’s guided wave radar solution provides a vital extra safety layer. High-profile incidents such as the explosion and fire at the Buncefield oil storage terminal in the UK in 2005 demonstrate that failure to identify and prevent spills…

  • Better Visibility Keeps the Water On

    Jim Cahill
    Both plant personnel and consumers expect better visibility of water use. Today’s commercial and residential water use barely resemble those of ten or twenty years ago. As a result, the way water and wastewater facilities operate has also changed dramatically—especially as a result of changes made during the COVID-19 pandemic . As Emerson’s Durgesh Jha explains, in his recent recent Q&A in Smart Water and Waste World…

  • Driving Innovation through Democratized Data

    Jim Cahill
    More and more companies are digitalizing their operations . After all, collecting data on paper and transferring those records to digital systems is inefficient and subject to error, not to mention the fact that few plants have the staff needed to perform these labor-intensive tasks. But digitalizing data is only the first step. As Claudio Fayad details in his recent article in CIO Applications , data democratization…

  • Necessity for Innovation in Economic Downturns

    Jim Cahill
    Economic cycles are a reality in business and our world of manufacturing and production. In a Forbes article, Economic Downturns And The Opportunity For Innovation , Emerson’s Peter Zornio shares how the falling part of the cycle enables fresh, innovative thinking. Peter opened by noting how external events, such as the global COVID pandemic, drove innovation. This rapid innovation over the past few years in response…

  • Improved Reliability and Sustainability from a Foundation you Likely Already Have

    Jim Cahill
    The global pandemic was, perhaps, the single greatest driver of digital transformation we will ever see. Nearly overnight process manufacturers needed to find ways to continue to operate when key personnel couldn’t be in the building. This led to an increased and immediate investment in automated solutions to help monitor and maintain plant equipment and operations to ensure personnel shortages didn’t disrupt 24×7 operations…

  • Driving Safety Improvements Through Location Monitoring

    Jim Cahill
    Location monitoring technology is part of some manufacturers’ and producers’ safety programs. In the event of a safety incident, this technology enables the safety management team to know which people are in the affected area and which are not. The Location Awareness system provides you with relevant-time, safety-focused monitoring of your most valued resource – your people. Enabled by WirelessHART Anchors and battery…

  • Avoid the Misconceptions Leading to Poor Alarm Management

    Jim Cahill
    In today’s manufacturing environment, where fewer experienced people are running the plant, well-designed alarm strategies are more important than ever. A timely, clear, accurate alarm—one that is not buried in an alarm flood—can mean the difference between safe operation through a process aberration or a disaster that impacts safety or creates an environmental incident. Plant operators know the importance of good alarm…

  • Managing Localised Corrosion Using Online Wall Thickness Monitoring

    Jim Cahill
    The purpose of online integrity monitoring is to enhance the operational performance of an asset through improved decision making whilst the equipment is live or on-stream, avoiding loss of containment whilst maximising asset productivity. This is achieved using advanced corrosion and erosion monitoring technologies through a combination of: Early detection of corrosion or erosion events, before the risk of loss of…
