Advanced software-defined automation
architecture to integrate intelligent field, edge and cloud,
unlocking a new era of productivity
Global automation leaders convene to
learn about Boundless Automation at Emerson Exchange in
Düsseldorf
DÜSSELDORF, Germany, Feb. 27,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Building on its innovation
leadership, global technology and software company Emerson (NYSE:
EMR) is poised to transform industrial manufacturing with the
next-generation automation architecture designed to break down data
silos, liberate data and unleash the power of software with
Boundless Automation™.
As many companies wrestle to extract full value from their
digital transformation efforts, the limitations of today's
automation architecture are being realized. Technology stacks built
around each functional department – production, reliability, safety
and most recently sustainability – have resulted in islands of
fragmented data, which are proving difficult to integrate or use.
As a result, new business insights promised by digital
transformation remain elusive.
To address this challenge and help customers achieve their
operational improvements, Emerson is introducing a vision and
actionable strategy to push more computing power closest to where
it's needed and establish the blueprint for a modern industrial
computing environment. This environment includes flexibility to
deploy software across the intelligent field; a modern,
software-defined edge; and the cloud. All three domains will be
connected through a unifying data fabric, helping to maintain data
context, improve its usability and increase security.
"After decades of implementing evolving automation strategies,
manufacturers recognize the need to extract greater value from data
that is locked in a rigid and now outdated automation
architecture," said Emerson
President and CEO Lal Karsanbhai. "The proliferation of data
and the development of advanced software are moving us to an era of
unprecedented productivity. Rich data and advanced software are
converging to form the next major inflection point in the
industry."
Karsanbhai addressed industry leaders in Düsseldorf at Emerson
Exchange EMEA 2024, a conference for customers in chemical, life
sciences, metals and mining, power, hydrogen, biofuels, carbon
capture and energy industries.
Emerson's modern, software-defined automation architecture will
break down hierarchical networks, securely democratizing and
contextualizing data for both people and the artificial
intelligence (AI) engines that depend on a continuous flow of
information. Emerson continues to innovate its broad portfolio of
technologies in development to serve as the foundation for the
future of Boundless Automation.
"With an industry-leading technology stack and decades of proven
expertise, Emerson is uniquely positioned to engineer and deploy
automation to maximize customers' technology investments and
deliver measurable performance improvements," Karsanbhai said.
Emerson's Boundless Automation architecture will break down
barriers and data silos across the intelligent field, edge and
cloud. Integrating these disparate systems with a unifying data
fabric will offer new insights and help companies optimize
operations across production, reliability, safety, sustainability
and its workforce.
- Intelligent Field: An intelligent field will simplify
access to more data from more sources and a greater diversity of
applications. With smarter devices and new connection technologies
like 5G and APL, customers can streamline both connectivity from
anywhere in the world, and integration across the new
architecture.
- Edge: The new OT edge creates a modern, secure,
low-latency computing environment, putting new software tools and
actionable data closest to its user. This enhanced edge environment
establishes a platform for IT and OT colleagues to innovate and
collaborate more than ever before.
- Cloud: The cloud will power complex operations and
engineering capabilities on-premise and across the enterprise by
providing infinite analytical computing power, enterprise
collaboration, attractive lifecycle costs and on-demand support and
service.
