Manufacturing IT, MES
Creating digital twins at scale
Model developed by MIT researchers could help predictive virtual models become standard practice in engineering, which integrates data and decision making.
Advanced valve diagnostics drive savings
When coupled with diagnostic software, smart positioners can be used to reduce maintenance costs and outages.
Industrial analytics from the edge up
Industrial manufacturers are using edge controllers and industrial PCs (IPCs) to implement practical analytics initiatives from the edge up, instead of from the enterprise down.
Managing plant emissions and energy losses with the latest software applications
Advances in Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technologies and software analytics are empowering plant managers with valuable insights into the health and performance of critical assets. Analytics software and wireless communications are helping reduce costs, emissions and wasted production time.
Keep process control systems connected with industrial network strategies
Traditional distributed control system (DCS) and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems designs can be improved with industrial digital transformation. Seek industrial interoperability, modularity, conformity to standards, including security standards, scalability and portability.
IIoT in the real world
Industrial Internet of Things serves as backbone for other Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), digital twins, the digital thread, big data, analytics, and cloud and edge computing.
Data-driven decisions improves COVID-19 vaccine production
Process engineers enabled with advanced analytics can have better operational control.
Best practices in mature engineering information management
Mature engineering information management can save millions in operational costs.
Benefits of virtual factory acceptance test systems
A well-planned virtual buy-off process for factory acceptance tests (FATs) can benefit all involved parties.
Original equipment effectiveness’ role in productive manufacturing
Original equipment effectiveness (OEE) can be used as a gauge to determine how effective and productive a manufacturing plant is.
