Emerson presented its annual DeltaV Roadmap and latest technology releases with a focus on a more modular and flexible software-defined automation platform.

Prioritizing software over hardware optimizes industrial operations and reduces maintenance costs through data-driven decisions.

Agentic AI is a real technology that was sold on a fictional timeline, and telling those two things apart is the most useful thing an automation professional can do this year.

Organizations that invest early in integrated thermal strategies, workforce development and predictive analytics will be better positioned to support the next wave of AI-driven industrial growth.

Facilities managers and plant leaders need a solution that offers them more control in order to reshape industries for current demand levels.

Factories generate enormous quantities of sensor data, yet most of it is never translated into timely operational decisions, leaving significant production capacity unrealized. The next industrial advantage will belong to companies and countries that build infrastructure capable of interpreting this data in real time and using it to improve factory operations.

Does the workforce available at the time of a problem match the response your organization expects?

Unified Namespace (UNS) is becoming a critical enabler for the next generation of manufacturing. It provides an a real-time, contextualized representation of the factory.

As industrial organizations race to capitalize on AI and other digital transformation initiatives, data readiness is emerging as the critical differentiator between organizations that experiment with AI and those that successfully scale it.

Robotics can help organizations maximize existing labor resources, improve safety and increase productivity while creating opportunities for employees to develop new skills. 

ISA/IEC 62443 brings structure to cybersecurity work in a way that reflects how industrial environments actually function, how teams of real humans collaborate and how risk is experienced in the real world.

When an OT device becomes internet-exposed — directly or indirectly — it can shift from “hard-to-reach” to “continuously discoverable” for threat actors.

The existence of shadow AI and IT poses security risks to industry by inadvertently allowing hackers unauthorized access to sensitive systems or databases.

Distributed industrial security teams protect systems where cyber incidents can have real-world consequences, often without being physically present.

The challenge is not about adopting high voltage, but about making the best use of it.

Cyber incident reporting is entering a new phase on both sides of the Atlantic.

Collaborative robot (cobot) and actuator suppliers are benefiting from the rapid growth in humanoid robot production.

Rao Mannepalli, chief scientist of Leidos, has been elevated to ISA Fellow in 2026.

America’s manufacturing expansion faces not only a labor shortage but a loss of institutional knowledge as experienced workers retire. Factories must capture human decisions alongside machine data to create a sovereign knowledge repository that helps future workers diagnose problems, act faster, and avoid repeating mistakes.

Advanced digital tools can optimize performance and reduce costs, but only when based on accurate, connected data. This article discusses how data can be captured and structured to facilitate all the promises of a digitally integrated facility.
