Maintaining existing output at the facility while upgrading systems and processes was necessary to meet strict quality and production standards.

A utility in Texas installed a monitoring and control system rivaling those at much larger utilities to improve service. This feature originally appeared in InTech Focus: Control Systems 2022, the InTech Focus ebook for September 2022.

Many manufacturing firms have extended their safety programs to include COVID-19 mitigation, but large portions, if not all, of their initiatives, are handled manually, making it difficult to keep pace with rapidly changing conditions and disparate guidelines from multiple government agencies. Clearly, automation is required to keep pace.

Generative design and digital twins join other business drivers to increase demand for engineering simulation tools.

5G and edge networks introduce dynamic network architectures that require a level of closed loop automation and contextual service assurance.

Readback control of valve position compensates for a host of unknowns in connection with valve response but a positioner, like a controller, must be tuned.

An experienced engineer compares the process of solving a pipeline problem in his neighborhood with similar situations in industrial settings.

Wireless transmitters can rapidly prototype, demonstrate, analyze and justify installations of online diagnostics, metrics and improvements.

For managing pH, use linear reagent demand control when going from a flatter part to a steeper part of a titration curve for tighter control and less wear and tear on the valves and the operators.

Manufacturing automation introduces improves overall efficiency by focusing on minimizing operational costs, reducing waste, and improving product quality.

Lifecycle visibility is key to revealing and fixing the hidden vulnerabilities of outdated assets.

Automation.com, June 2012 By Bill Lydon, Editor Participants of the Pharmaceutical Automation Roundtable discussed the conversion of production lines from single product to multiproduct, which ultimately creates flexible manufacturing pharmaceutical plants. This is part 5 of a 6 part article series.

Rust is a programming language that is designed with a unique ability to combine high performance with exceptional safety.

By adopting generative AI into advanced analytics workflows and providing baseline training to personnel, manufacturers are enhancing operational efficiency while simultaneously bolstering employee retention and creativity.

HANNOVER MESSE 2025 will offer the perfect stage for this central role of embedded systems with the Embedded Park in Hall 9.

By continuously monitoring equipment and production processes, manufacturers can detect anomalies, predict equipment failures and take corrective actions before issues escalate.

Those that successfully integrate OT and IT systems through IIoT will be better positioned to harness the full potential of AI.

For some time now, the future mobility vision–in which totally autonomous vehicles are an everyday reality and shared mobility services are widely adopted–has been heralded as the future of mass transport. However, as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has inexplicably changed transport behaviour, both at a consumer and commercial level, the consensus is that it will significantly impact the shape of tomorrow’s strategy.
