Bringing IIoT to life!

During CERAWeek 2017 by IHS Markit (March 6-10 in Houston TX USA), Emerson at CERAWeek brings the Industrial Internet of Things (IoT) to life with a series of Integrated Operations (iOps) simulations, including augmented reality helmets and mobility tools that demonstrate the future of real-time operations and the manufacturing worker of the future.

New automation and digitisation technologies deliver measurable business improvements to oil and gas companies. Demonstrating the “ROI from Big Data” investments at CERAWeek’s first-ever Technology Agora, they explore the critical role of technology and innovation in the global energy future.

The company features an iOps Command Centre that relies on automation, pervasive sensing, remote monitoring, augmented reality and IoT technologies to remove physical barriers and improve decision making for operational improvements. Emerson helps oil and gas companies more easily and effectively access and use tens of thousands of data points to achieve top performance in operations, reliability, energy management, and safety in facilities ranging from oil and gas wells to offshore platforms, refineries and petrochemical plants.

At the iOps Command Centre they demonstrate how a real-world shale gas operation harnesses the power of Industrial IoT to expand digital intelligence to the entire manufacturing enterprise. It provides a clear business case for Industrial IoT investment, with an emphasis on targeting specific business challenges and achieving measurable success with limited investment.

“Market volatility is driving a cautious ‘grind it out’ mentality, yet company operating performance goals demand new, transformational thinking and action,” says Mike Train, Emerson Automation Solutions president. “Technology offers a vast set of new options, and Emerson will demonstrate how to put the ROI in IOT.”

The Emerson iOps and Augmented Reality experience is available until next Friday, March 10, in the Technology Agora at CERAWeek 2017.

Emerson speakers at CERAWeek 2017 include Emerson CEO David Farr on “Whatever Happened to Globalisation”; Emerson President Ed Monser on “Gas and its Markets”; Emerson Automation Solutions President Mike Train on “Service Company Strategies: Positioning for the Future”; and Emerson Automation Solutions Chief Strategic Officer Peter Zornio on “Technology Innovation in Energy Sector: Evolution or Revolution?”.

Highlighting performance improvement opportunities in energy sector!

Emerson is to serve as Foundational Partner for IHS CERAWeek 2016, seizing this important opportunity to engage with energy industry leaders on the predominant topic on their minds: the future of the industry in an era of historic low oil prices.

This year’s IHS CERAWeek theme, “Energy Transition: Strategies for a New World”, addresses the challenges facing the global industry at a time of major change and uncertainty. Emerson sees this turbulent market as an impetus for transforming outdated project and operating models with new technologies and approaches that create business impact. Energy producers are increasingly seeking new ideas and fresh perspective on how to achieve capital efficiency, production optimisation, employee safety and emissions reduction.

“Emerson has long served as a trusted partner to the industry, helping energy leaders harness automation and predictive analysis to drive better project and operations performance,” said Steve Sonnenberg, president of Emerson Process Management. “That goal has never been more important than it is today. It is Emerson’s responsibility to help customers extract the greatest value from their assets and utilise game-changing technologies to accomplish that. We look forward to contributing to this important discussion at CERAWeek.”

Emerson will have an extensive executive presence throughout the conference, participating in a range of strategic dialogues and expert sessions, including “Operational Strategies for a Low Cost World”, “Squeezing More From Brownfields”, and “The Intersection of Technology and Projects for Capital Efficiency”. Throughout the event, Emerson executives will join other industry leaders in thought-provoking dialogue on how energy producers can weather market challenges with greater capital efficiency and improved operational performance.

“Energy industry leaders are laser-focused on lowering costs and improving production and operational efficiency,” said James Rosenfield, IHS senior vice president and co-chair of CERAWeek. “Technology is at the heart of the energy transition. We welcome Emerson as a Foundational Partner and look forward to the insights and perspectives they will bring to the CERAWeek community.”

“The energy industry is impacted by many external factors, but each company still has a tremendous amount of control over its own destiny,” said Sonnenberg. “The time is right to transform capital project and operations performance for the new reality.”
