PlantwebTM Digital Ecosystem
Integrates MicrosoftTM IoT Technology To Provide
Expert Connected Services
Emerson (NYSE: EMR) announced at the Emerson Global Users
Exchange that it is working with Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) to help
industrial manufacturers realize the business impact and value of
Industrial Internet of Things (IoT) with Emerson’s recently
announced Plantweb digital ecosystem and Connected Services,
powered by the Microsoft Azure IoT Suite.
Plantweb, the most comprehensive and integrated Industrial IoT
platform in the industry, supports Emerson’s vision to help
customers leverage data, technologies and best practices to improve
reliability, safety, energy management and overall operational
performance across the enterprise.
Extending a more than two-decade relationship, Emerson is also
broadly adopting Microsoft’s Windows 10 IoT technology, both in its
DeltaV™ and Ovation™ control systems and in data gateways, for
local data processing and to serve data to Azure IoT Suite. Emerson
chose Microsoft to power its Industrial IoT applications for its
comprehensive offerings that span the intelligent edge with Windows
and the intelligent cloud with Azure.
The Azure IoT Suite provides Emerson with a scalable and secure
cloud application environment as part of its Plantweb digital
ecosystem. Plantweb provides the technology and service framework
for Emerson’s Operational Certainty program, a strategic approach
to help customers break free from stagnant financial performance
through adoption of industry best practices and advanced
technologies.
Oil and gas, refining, petrochemical and other companies can now
leverage their existing investments in instrumentation sensors and
communication infrastructure to power new applications to improve
reliability, energy management, and safety. Today’s new offerings
mark an important step in Emerson’s vision to provide its customers
those applications deployed as Industrial IoT services, without the
need for in-house domain experts.
“Emerson and Microsoft have a long-standing relationship to
deliver sensor-driven distributed applications to run plant
processes safely and reliably,” says Peter Zornio, chief strategic
officer, Emerson Automation Solutions. “By integrating Microsoft
IoT offerings, including cloud-based Azure IoT Suite and smart
device-driven Windows 10 IoT, we are excited to expand the Emerson
Plantweb digital ecosystem to cloud applications that can also be
delivered in a turnkey ‘connected service’ model for the entire
enterprise.”
Sam George, Microsoft partner director, Azure IoT said, “Emerson
has a laser focus on helping their customers achieve their highest
performance and their offerings are a great example of the
transformational power of IoT. Our proven success with the Azure
IoT Suite and Windows 10 IoT in industrial applications provides
the flexible, secure environment industrial manufacturers need to
confidently adopt Industrial IoT.”
This combination of Emerson application expertise, hosted on
Microsoft Azure, will provide a compelling suite of Industrial IoT
applications to expand digital intelligence to the entire
manufacturing enterprise. These applications will be easily and
quickly deployable and have immediately quantifiable business
benefits for industrial manufacturers looking for better
operational performance.
