Automation Strategies: The “big picture” on ExxonMobil’s open system initiative
Several noteworthy presentations were given at ARC's 20th Annual ARC Industry Forum in Orlando, Florida in February.
Innovations
Planned shutdowns, turnarounds and outages (STOs) are often scheduled for preventive maintenance and new equipment installation that must be performed to keep a plant running and in regulatory compliance.
Viewpoint: Pave the way to safer, more productive plants with the IIoT
The next generation of manufacturing will be driven by connectivity. It is happening today in modern plants: the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is enabling manufacturers to embed physical objects with the capacity to both communicate with and sense the world around them.
Linear position sensors gain preference in industrial process control applications
Today’s industrial process control applications increasingly use automated systems to optimize operations and ensure a safer, more productive process.
Automation Strategies: Data analytics solutions require valid data
Process plants collect enormous amounts of data, both from the sensors connected to the control system and from other sources, including edge devices in the plant and remote devices in the cloud.
Add power to environmental real-time data through analytics
Advancements in technology are delivering ever-increasing amounts of data that need to be processed and acted upon.
Enhance PSM design with metrics-driven best practices
This study shows the attributes and benefits of a data- and metrics-driven system focused on the process safety design integrity, reliability and control of process plant flares and pressure relief systems.
