Leveraging decades of digital innovation and leadership across
all automation categories, global technology and software company
Emerson (NYSE: EMR) today announced the evolution of the Plantweb™
digital ecosystem to incorporate the AspenTech (NASDAQ: AZPN)
portfolio of asset optimization software powered by industrial
artificial intelligence, creating the most comprehensive digital
transformation portfolio in the industry.
Emerson’s Plantweb digital ecosystem, optimized by AspenTech,
enables industrial manufacturers across all industries to “See,
Decide, Act and Optimize” their operations. Leveraging a robust
suite of sensors, software and control technologies, Plantweb now
enables companies to optimize the business and sustainability
performance of their plants and enterprise through advanced asset
and business optimization software.
“With the vast amounts of data created by manufacturing, the
world’s most essential industries have increasingly demanded robust
automation that transcends boundaries to help empower safe,
reliable operations across a facility or enterprise,” said Mark
Bulanda, executive president of Emerson’s Automation Solutions
business. “Our Plantweb digital ecosystem, combined with the asset
optimization leadership of AspenTech, gives organizations the
ability to ‘see, decide, act and optimize’ every aspect of their
operations to drive exceptional returns on automation investment in
productivity, safety and sustainability.”
The new Plantweb digital ecosystem, now optimized with AspenTech
industrial AI software, empowers companies with an unprecedented
flexibility to generate, manage and use the rapidly growing body of
data each plant operation generates. As every operator increasingly
uses data and software to perform their jobs, Plantweb helps make
data actionable by more personnel in the context of their role,
regardless of location.
Plantweb powers world-class performance by enabling: sensing and
visualization, predictive diagnostics and monitoring, precision
control, modeling and AI-powered analytics. These technologies
include:
- Sense & Measure: Providing the ability to
SEE, sensing and measurement technologies create
high-integrity data to drive all decisions. This portfolio helps
customers eliminate blind spots in locations and applications
previously out of reach, including modern edge computing that
enables faster local response. Key capabilities include leak and
corrosion detection, tank, safety and equipment monitoring,
personnel awareness, process measurements, and liquid and gas
analysis.
- Automation Systems & Software: Providing the ability
to DECIDE, digital automation systems enable agility through
intuitive analytics and improved visibility. Advanced software
drives better decisions through on-demand access to expertise,
while automated workflows empower personnel to focus on high-value
activities rather than low-value tasks. Software includes
distributed, batch and advanced control, SCADA and PLCs, safety
systems, asset and alarm management, remote monitoring, AI, machine
learning and digital twins.
- Act & Control: Providing the confidence to
ACT, responsive, precision control helps maximize
performance and optimize production to drive operational integrity
and protect people, equipment and the environment. Technology
capabilities include digital valve control, process isolation,
pressure regulation, discrete, motion, fluid and drive control and
air handling.
- Industrial Software: Providing the ability to
OPTIMIZE across the entire asset lifecycle, modular,
AI-based software features performance engineering applications to
optimize and create world-class facilities. Manufacturing and
supply chain applications maximize operational performance, while
asset performance management applications extract the greatest
return on investment from equipment and facilities. Industrial
software capabilities include capital estimation, facility
modeling, economic analysis, reservoir modeling, planning and
scheduling, process and dynamic simulation, process knowledge
management, supply chain management, process and energy analytics,
management execution, electricity grid management, operations and
asset performance management and digital twins.
The industry has increasingly realized advanced automation is
the greatest strategic lever available to boost operating
performance, improve safety and achieve sustainability targets
through emissions reduction and greater energy efficiency.
“Plantweb has remained a platform for continuous innovation in
the industry since its introduction in 1997, including the world’s
first integrated digital safety loop, machinery health monitoring
and the pervasive deployment of wireless technologies,” said Peter
Zornio, chief technology officer for Emerson. “Now Plantweb sets
the software foundation for the future of ‘boundless automation,’
where the intelligent field, edge and cloud become a seamless
architecture for world-class responsiveness and performance.”
