  • How Industrial Facilities Are Prioritizing Safety with Advanced Location Technology

    Jim Cahill
    Safety has always been a top priority for industrial facilities, but varying safety regulations, personnel training obstacles, and high implementation costs have presented challenges in creating more encompassing safety programs. From housing complex process equipment to hazardous materials, industrial facilities present unique challenges and more barriers to implementation, preventing these facilities from advancing…

  • MTP Unlocks Faster Integration for Smoother Capital Projects

    Jim Cahill
    Because automation is typically on the critical path of any capital project, delays in integration can have significant impacts on project timelines and costs. One of the most common areas where integrating equipment can delay project completion and startup is with intelligent devices (IDs). In a recent article in Chemical Processing , Emerson’s Juan Carlos Bravo addressed this issue and explained how Module Type Package…

  • Cloud-based Operational Technology

    Jim Cahill
    Much has been made of the transition of many applications from on premise to the cloud. Major applications from email, intranet site and chat-based communications are often now cloud hosted with secure access through identity-as-a-service (IDaaS) applications. In a Digital Energy Journal article, Moving industrial plant computing to the cloud , Emerson Chief Technology Officer Peter Zornio shares how this trend has…

  • Healthy Master Data Foundation for Digital Transformation

    Jim Cahill
    Digital transformation initiatives rely on extensive and accurate data. Master Data is a foundational element in these initiatives and has a huge impact on day-to-day business operations. In this quick 2:40 YouTube video, Master Data Management and the Importance of Healthy Data , Emerson’s Curtis Thompson explains why having healthy data matters, and how to know if you have healthy data.  Curtis opens noting that…

  • Avoid Loss of Containment in Underground Gas Storage Applications Using Continuous Corrosion Monitoring

    Jim Cahill
    Particularly during the winter season energy demands can peak, which requires high volumes of gas to be brought to the transmission network quickly. Gas is stored in underground caverns or reservoirs allowing a high volume of storage to meet the high demand particularly in the winter months. Undesirable solids, retrieved due to the high velocity required, can damage pipework and fixed equipment, potentially resulting…

  • Industrial Grade WiFi Infrastructure Helps Digitally Transform Singapore Oil Refinery

    Jim Cahill
    Recently, a large refinery in Singapore capable of processing over 250,000 barrels of crude oil per day implemented an Industry 4.0 digitalization plan with the help of Emerson and Cisco. The refinery sought a wireless solution that would address challenges created by production downtime and also support real-time data collection and collaboration. With a compact, scalable, and flexible design, the customer selected…

  • One Protocol to Simplify Growing Sensor Deployments

    Jim Cahill
    FDI combines the best features of EDDL and FDT packages. Historically, differing asset monitoring devices, even if mounted on the same installation, might have very different ways of sending their data or configuration methods. Such a situation leaves project teams in a bind—do they stick with only one type of sensor, potentially eliminating their ability to use devices that are a better fit, or do they support multiple…

  • Why Continuous, Non-Intrusive Corrosion Monitoring is Fast Becoming a Refining Industry Best Practice

    Jim Cahill
    Corrosion risk is great, and incidents can be severe – potentially endangering lives, therefore there is increased need for corrosion control in refineries. Even slight changes to the process can affect corrosivity greatly. Changing crude diets, flow rates, yields or inhibition levels can impact negatively on asset integrity. Monitoring periodically through techniques such as manual inspection do not provide the granularity…

  • IIoT-Enabled Sensors Help Improve Colgate’s Sustainability Efforts

    Jim Cahill
    Energy costs are a significant expense for companies. Over time even the best-designed systems can age and wear which can result in wasteful leaks. These leaks can impact companies’ bottom line and the environment. Considering this, a real-time compressed air monitoring system made perfect sense for a company intending to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2040. Emerson’s Dana Greenly describes the partnership with…
