User Case Study
Increase Efficiency and Reduce Cycle Time by Replacing Manual Sampling

Manual testing methodologies constrain production for both batch and continuous processes. When manual sampling is the standard, inefficiencies are introduced in the form of delayed response times, longer cycle times, and inflated product waste. All of these obstacles to efficiency lead to reduced profitability for the plant.

IIOT in Packaging Machines

IIoT is all the rage in manufacturing these days. The applications for collecting sensor data and using it to optimize machine performance are limitless. Solution providers are developing ever-enhancing tools to automate data ingestion, interpret those 1’s and 0’s, and enable stakeholders to access solution insights remotely (important for the “work from home era that’s upon us). Not only are these solutions getting better over time, they are also getting accessible. All of this brings holistic, operational benefits to the company, and it all sounds great…. but how should you get started? Where do you even begin?

Bringing Automation and Valve Selection to Beverage Fermentation Set up

The production of alcoholic beverages can be dated back as far as 7000BC. At its core, the production has remained relatively the same. However, the demand and preference of alcoholic beverage styles has grown significantly around the world; as a result, the equipment and scale of production has evolved. Today, small-town to global scale producers are challenged to meet these growing consumer demands while also maintaining the highest levels of quality and taste. The key lies in the fermentation process, which requires precise control to ensure quality, consistency and taste. In this session, we’ll explore how one of the largest wine producers in North America was able to optimize their fermentation setup and production process through valve selection and automation.

User Case Study
Increasing Reliability, Safety, and Performance Using Monitoring with Go Switch

Gerdau is a large Brazilian steel company with several units in Latin America, North America, and Asia. One of the big issues in process control and monitoring is the failure of valve positioning signals, which may result in safety issues and lack of performance because the system depends on how each process valve is positioned. The previous systems were generating many sensor failures (it burns), difficulty in calibration, low degree of protection (water sensitivity), and low robustness.

Improving Process Burner Efficiency & Reliability with New Safety Valves

Preferred Utilities Manufacturing Corporation manufactures industry-leading natural gas burners for the process and industrial markets. In many markets where they operate, strained gas utilities cause Preferred’s customers to experience unreliable burner operation due to low gas pressures, unexpected valve failure in harsh conditions, and improper control of gas delivery. By switching to the new ASCO 158/159 safety shutoff valve and actuator solution, Preferred Utilities can deliver a more reliable, easier to operate burner solution to its customers. This solution eliminates unplanned downtime while increasing efficiency through tighter control. Cost savings are achieved through decreased fuel consumption and increased burner availability.

Branson: Packaging - Process Control Challenges of Bio-Based Materials and Intelligent Packaging

Packaging materials are changing. In an industry-wide effort to reduce and ultimately eliminate plastic waste, manufacturers are implementing bio-based materials for Packaging. While there is a significant focus on single-use plastics, all plastics, and packages that aren’t demonstrably “sustainable” – reusable, recyclable, compostable, or biodegradable – face scrutiny since they can and often do become part of the waste stream.

Emerson Spotlight
Selecting the Best Fit Pressure/Flow Control Technology for your Operations

The ever-increasing demand for high-quality products increased productivity, and user-friendliness and service require manufacturers to maintain high standards that can only be achieved if physical variables (e.g. temperature, pressure, force, flow, etc.) are precisely controlled. Given the abundance of technology on the market today, the right pressure or flow control solution isn't always apparent. This presentation will cover a wide range of proportional valve technologies available.

11:45 AM - 12:30 PM CST

Product Demonstration
Use HART® to Monitor System Power Diagnostics

Loss of power can bring an entire system down, so it’s critical to discover, diagnose, and repair system problems before they occur. See how Emerson’s new SolaHD SDN-D Power Supplies can help you avoid unplanned downtime by providing critical diagnostic power information about your system.
