Emerson Exchange 365

If you already use PLCs, do you need edge controllers? How do edge gateways and edge controllers differ? Can edge technology really deliver on all the hype and unlock all the benefits that are being promised?

A new webinar, “Edge Controllers Enable Digital Transformation in the Oil & Gas Industry,” now available on-demand will help answer these questions and provide use cases on how Emerson edge controllers can help overcome critical challenges in pipeline and LNG liquefaction applications, including:

• Pipeline application challenges:
  • Maintenance costs caused by false alarms for leak detection
  • Pipeline operators need to seamlessly expand the pipeline
  • The need to mitigate the risk of surges through control and containment
• LNG liquefaction challenges:
  • Reducing gas contamination caused by process inefficiency
  • Protecting infrastructure from extreme temperatures
  • Mitigating environmental hazards through tank control

The webinar will address how Emerson edge controller technology can enable oil and gas operators to solve these significant problems through revolutionary new capabilities in analytics, availability and insights that enable predictive maintenance and decision-making.

In addition, it will discuss how true edge controller technology can provide an affordable, manageable way to enter the world of IIoT one step at a time to quickly realize its benefits. Many companies attempt to tackle big data with expensive, impractical mega-scale projects. Instead, it’s more effective to approach the goals of big data one issue at a time by beginning at the machine edge and identifying one specific problem that can be analyzed and solved simply and affordably. Only true edge technology allows you to do this by accessing, analyzing and historizing data that was previously isolated in machines at the edge. Once plants solve key little data problems, the process can be scaled up to achieve mission-critical production improvements.

Watch the webinar today to gain critical key takeaways including:

• How Emerson true edge control technology enables digital transformation
• How immediate, accurate data at the edge provides deeper analytics and decision-making without interrupting machine control
• How the big data/little data strategy allows easy, immediate process improvements
• Use cases on how Emerson edge control technology helps solve key problems in pipeline and LNG liquefaction applications
