Building More Defendable Control and Safety Systems
Jim Cahill
A plant’s basic process control system (BPCS) and safety instrumented system (SIS) are critical infrastructure for the facility. Many decisions go into selecting these systems, and one of the most important is selecting the right architecture—a decision that will impact other elements of system selection as well as performance and efficiency across the lifecycle of the equipment. One key decision that will impact automation…

Agile Project Methodology for the Right Types of Projects
Jim Cahill
The concept of Agile for managing software projects began in the 1990 in software development under early forerunners such as “ …Scrum, DSDM, Application Development and Extreme Programming “. The waterfall project management method was causing growing lead times and lack of flexibility to make changes later in the project as more was learned along the way. Based on this early work: …seventeen developers met once again…

Digital Twin Solutions across Industries
Jim Cahill
When you hear “digital twin,” think of this as a digital replica of physical assets such as pumps and compressors, processes, people, places, systems and devices. Through these replicas, the operation of these things are modeled and simulated through their lifecycles. For these simulations to be effective, they must represent reality. To this end, feedback to the model is important for keeping it up to date and realistic…
