New solutions to deliver smarter, safer,
optimized and sustainable industrial operations
AUSTIN,
Texas, Oct. 4, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Global
technology and software leader Emerson (NYSE: EMR) announced the
first of a series of new technology releases that build upon its
Boundless Automation™ vision and serve as the foundation of its
next-generation, software-centric industrial automation
architecture. The new technology releases will transcend a
traditional control system, creating a more advanced automation
platform that contextualizes and democratizes data for both people
and the artificial intelligence (AI) engines that shape the way the
world operates.
"Boundless Automation is a big vision, but also a real one
grounded in exciting new technologies available today, and more
coming in the next two to three years," said Nathan Pettus, president of Emerson's process
systems and solutions business. "The solutions bringing our vision
to life will have a tangible impact on projects our customers are
developing right now. These innovations will break down silos of
data in areas like sensing, analytics, reliability and control by
creating a single ecosystem of seamlessly connected technologies
that move contextualized data from the intelligent field, through
the edge, and into the cloud."
Emerson technologies support new, boundless automation
vision
The company shared its new DeltaV™ Edge
Environment at its Emerson Exchange Immerse event, convening
industrial technology leaders from across the globe to collaborate
on industry challenges, such as disparate software systems creating
a barrier to connectivity across the value chain. Emerson's DeltaV
Edge Environment will provide more secure ways to move data
from the automation platform to wherever it is needed – data lakes,
data scientists, analytics applications in the cloud, enterprise
resource planning systems, etc. – without losing valuable
operational context.
Emerson also announced the release of technologies supporting
the increased bandwidth and intrinsically safe connectivity of
Ethernet advanced physical layer (APL). By bringing technologies to
market that enable APL across a broader spectrum of protocols,
Emerson is making it easier for customers to integrate a wide array
of intelligent field devices into the DeltaV™ automation platform,
expanding visibility and empowering users and systems to manage a
company's most complex problems and system interactions.
As Emerson shifts toward an increasingly software-defined
platform and eliminates traditional server and storage silos, its
new DeltaV PK Flex Controller allows users to leverage
subscription-based services to use only the technologies they need,
with the flexibility to add functionality at any time. Subscription
options also enable teams to reduce capital costs and shift
expenses to the operating expense budget. As a next phase, Emerson
will add more than 16 services to its subscription portfolio to
provide customers with more flexible business models, empowering
them to drive innovation and growth with ease.
Emerson has also added new software-as-a-service, cloud-hosted
solutions to bring data from the edge into the cloud, helping
combine cloud data with AI tools to upskill personnel and offset
experienced worker shortages. Those AI analytics tools, including
AMS Optics and Aspen Mtell®, will help teams build
models for predictive and prescriptive maintenance strategies that
unlock the autonomous plant, while simultaneously creating a new
paradigm of centralized operations where highly skilled personnel
work in tandem with AI.
Empowering richer, real-time analytics
As expanded
connectivity brings more assets, devices and data into the fold,
teams will need more powerful tools to help them manage and use the
information coming in from many different sources. Emerson's
Ovation Green™ solutions, including asset management and
supervisory control and data acquisition software, represent a
powerful suite of technologies to combine a utility's renewable
energy assets into a single management tool, unifying data and
setting the stage for holistic automation across the power grid.
Similarly, tools like AMS Data Server unshackle reliability
data, making it easier for users to get critical information out of
the intelligent field and into cloud-based applications for use by
cross-functional teams.
"These new technologies from Emerson are available for inclusion
in capital project planning today and will help companies better
prepare for the rapidly approaching future of automation, driven by
a shift to more efficient, sustainable production," Pettus
said.
Emerson's emerging automation technologies shared at Exchange
Immerse will help optimize performance, sustainability, safety and
production for key industries including specialty chemical, energy,
life sciences, mining, power generation and more.
