Emerson expands Plantweb digital ecosystem

Emerson’s Plantweb digital ecosystem, optimised by AspenTech, enables industrial manufacturers across all industries to 'See, Decide, Act and Optimise' their operations. Leveraging a robust suite of sensors, software and control technologies, Plantweb now enables companies to optimise the business and sustainability performance of their plants and enterprise through advanced asset and business optimisation software.

“With the vast amounts of data created by manufacturing, the world’s most essential industries have increasingly demanded robust automation that transcends boundaries to help empower safe, reliable operations across a facility or enterprise,” said Mark Bulanda, Executive President of Emerson’s Automation Solutions business. “Our Plantweb digital ecosystem, combined with the asset optimisation leadership of AspenTech, gives organisations the ability to ‘see, decide, act and optimise’ every aspect of their operations to drive exceptional returns on automation investment in productivity, safety and sustainability.”

The new Plantweb digital ecosystem, now optimised with AspenTech industrial AI software, empowers companies with an unprecedented flexibility to generate, manage and use the rapidly growing body of data each plant operation generates. As every operator increasingly uses data and software to perform their jobs, Plantweb helps make data actionable by more personnel in the context of their role, regardless of location.

Plantweb powers world-class performance by enabling: sensing and visualisation, predictive diagnostics and monitoring, precision control, modelling and AI-powered analytics.

“Plantweb has remained a platform for continuous innovation in the industry since its introduction in 1997, including the world’s first integrated digital safety loop, machinery health monitoring and the pervasive deployment of wireless technologies,” said Peter Zornio, Chief Technology Officer for Emerson. “Now Plantweb sets the software foundation for the future of ‘boundless automation,’ where the intelligent field, edge and cloud become a seamless architecture for world-class responsiveness and performance.”
