Smart manufacturing encapsulates the use of sensors and entire systems that have become more intelligent, with increased networking and vast amounts of available data. Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), Industry 4.0, and digital transformation are a few of the principal trends describing the ubiquity of devices and the increased connectivity to those data sources in the manufacturing environment. Add in advanced analytics and manufacturers can capture crucial insights that inform users on how to improve operational efficiency and reliability.

Midstream oil and gas companies can’t afford unplanned downtime. Studies have shown unplanned downtime can costs tens of millions of dollars per…

With the advent of digital transformation projects and digitalization efforts, we’ve seen the rise of the use of Edge Computing platforms in automation and control because of two key capabilities: workload consolidation and operational resilience. How does Edge Computing empower your staff to get better results? Find out.

Edge Computing platforms enable easy scalability, allowing you to start with a small HMI/SCADA solution (single node) and add more (multiple nodes in multiple locations) as your needs grow. Which one is right for you? Read this blog and find out.

Traditional HMI/SCADA architectures have been in existence for many years and have provided users with the capability to operate plants and facilities since the advent of modern automation and control. Let’s look at how to leverage Edge Computing platforms to rapidly modernize HMI/SCADA solutions and maximize reliability.

Digital transformation in oil and gas remains paramount in managing mission-critical operations, gaining valuable business insights, improving worker safety, reducing costs, and more. This is especially true for offshore oil and gas production, presenting a unique set of circumstances.

While automation is accelerating business intelligence across industries, many industrial operators lack the staff and experience to pilot new automation projects, relying instead on system integrators. By developing core competencies in emerging technologies like edge computing, system integrators can position themselves as trusted partners and drivers of innovation.

A unique challenge faced by the Midstream Industry is that most critical assets are remote and often unstaffed. For pipelines, the edge…

Edge computing is moving away from the “edges” to become a mainstream approach and an important consideration in industries where real-time data is needed to drive better business decisions. We look at four key factors driving the success of edge computing.

As energy demands in the U.S. rise, oil and gas pipeline companies feel pressure from all angles. They not only have to…
