  • Automating Tank Farm Systems and Work Practices

    Jim Cahill
    Have you ever stopped to consider the path and ownership transfers your car’s gasoline or diesel took from the wellhead when it was still crude oil until you pumped it into your tank at the gas station? For the businesses involved in custody transfer process through the supply chain path, how accurate, reliable, safe and efficient were these transfers? In a Tanks & Terminals article, The Power of Automation , Emerson…

  • Deploying Syncade Manufacturing Execution System in a Non-English Language

    Jim Cahill
    Author: Jonathan Lustri I recently worked on a Syncade manufacturing execution system (MES) project where the system was deployed in Danish. Emerson executes all its projects with a global team and this one was no different. Our customer was Danish and we had team members from Denmark, the US, India, Romania, England, and France. In a project like this, a single language must be selected for system design and the only…

  • Managing Coalbed Methane Wells Feeding LNG Plant

    Jim Cahill
    Liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities require careful pressure management on their incoming gas pipelines. In a recent LNG Industry article, Turn it Up (and Down) , Emerson’s Michael Calvert describes the challenges and solutions around the Santos Gladstone LNG (GLNG) project . One of the big challenges is that the source gas is from coal-bed methane (CBM) fields instead of traditional gas production wells. In these…

  • Optimizing Batch Process Automation Design in MES and DCS

    Jim Cahill
    For pharmaceutical and biotech manufacturers, the flow and capture of information is as important as the flow of the manufacturing process in readying products to release for sale. In a Pharmaceutical Technology magazine article, Connecting MES to Process Control , Emerson’s Jonathan Lustri is interviewed about advances in using the ISA-88 standard to coordinate manufacturing execution systems (MES) and distributed…

  • US FDA Quality Metrics Guidelines Update

    Jim Cahill
    Author: Eric Kuebler Since the Continued Process Verification (CPV) guidance in 2011, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has been talking quality and verifying process state of control. Now the FDA is getting around to defining what that looks like and what data they want to verify quality. However, the FDA’s push is leaving more questions than answers about what specific date they need, how they will use…

  • Reducing Communications Problems during Shift Changeovers

    Jim Cahill
    Sources of unplanned downtime can be many including equipment failures and human error. For downtime resulting from operator interactions, one major source of errors is the communications breakdown that sometimes happens during a shift change. If not told or seen in captured notes and observations, the incoming operators may lack visibility to the key tasks and priorities to keep the process operating in a stable manner…
