Make sure you consider the Plant-wide solutions track when setting your personal agenda for Emerson Exchange 2014.
By now you have noticed the organization of Emerson Exchange tracks this year into the 4 main categories: Solve and Support, Measure and Analyze, Operate and Manager, plus Final Control and Regulate.
Hopefully you have seen a 5th category titled Plant-wide solutions. The Plant-wide solutions track was added to cover not just PlantWeb solutions but also papers on enabling technologies that cut across an enterprise. The track was defined as the following:
- Broad application of digital-capable devices that provide predictive intelligence using onboard microprocessors, embedded software, and open-standard communications.
- Open communication standards linking field intelligence, systems, and applications in a plant-wide network
- DeltaV or Ovation automation systems that make the most of PlantWeb’s predictive intelligence
- Comprehensive implementation of AMS Suite technologies and other asset reliability solutions
For sure, you should check out the 3 finalists for the PlantWeb Excellence award this year. Plus you will find some good papers in this track which didn’t naturally fit into the 4 main categories above including DeltaV. There are a variety of topics in this track that may interest such as:
- Safety compliance with IEC61508 and IEC61511
- SIL-3 HIPPS system
- DeltaV migration and DCS modernization stories
- Peakvue & Wireless technology enablers
- Process optimization papers
- Plus several others
Again, make sure you consider the Plant-wide solutions track when setting your personal agenda for Emerson Exchange 2014.
