Industries including power, water, energy, refining and mining need greater operational flexibility, agility and better decision-making to further reduce downtime and carbon footprint, increase safety and security and improve efficiencies. Boundless Automation is key to helping customers achieve that success through an open, secure architecture that will liberate data and unleash the power of software – driving unprecedented performance levels.
Despite massive increases in data availability from the digital transformation era to more recent Industry 4.0, the ability to convert that data into new, actionable insights remains stymied by an outdated technology architecture. Modern technologies and software demand access to contextualised data that the current infrastructure cannot support.
This emerging architecture connects three distinct but interdependent computing domains: the intelligent field, edge and cloud. Aligned by a unifying data fabric, Boundless Automation will create a cohesive architecture that transforms how data is accessed and used by increasingly powerful software at all levels.
“Emerson will help industries quickly adopt a modern architecture that can work with their legacy equipment and eliminate data silos, expand computing power closest to its user and introduce new cloud-enabled operations and engineering models,” said Peter Zornio, chief technology officer at Emerson.
On-premise operations will continue to manage the real-time decisions and actions required to run facilities safely and profitably. Centralised teams and remote experts can take on a strategic role to assess how different strategies deliver results across the entire enterprise.
