Unlocking Multifaceted Value with Boundless Automation
Emerson streamlines your experience with one cohesive framework. Unlock intuitive use, scalable growth, and these key benefits:
Unifying Operations Data in One Industrial Ecosystem
Standardizing on one solution breaks down silos by eliminating the need for bolt-on solutions and integrating all operational areas into a single software ecosystem.
Innovation Through Seamless, Software-defined Architecture
The cohesive nature of the boundless automation architecture eliminates the need for resource-draining integrations of new operational technologies.
Enterprise-wide Optimization Via Multi-Domain Tensioning
Standardizing on a single ecosystem allows for comprehensive operations, as all data can be interconnected, providing a holistic view for easier decision-making and optimized operations.
Boundless Automation propels us into the future with a tri-fold strategy: intelligent field, edge computing, and the cloud combine to form a secure, flexible software platform. This seamless data highway allows software applications to run directly in smart field devices, advanced edge computing, and the cloud.
Intelligent Field
Free your data from the control layer with intelligent field devices. Using enhanced connectivity, these devices transmit large volumes of data to cloud and edge applications for better visibility, instant alerts, and detailed analytics.
Edge
Enable seamless data flow between edge nodes and the cloud, without compromising core control access. Experience easier data movement from the control layer to enterprise systems, maintaining vital metadata for deep AI and ML analytics.
Cloud
Access simulation, analytics, predictive maintenance, and more from anywhere in the world, at any time.

AMS Optics
A robust suite of sensors, software, and control technologies enables companies to optimize the business and sustainability performance of their plants and enterprise through advanced asset and business optimization software.
AgileOps
Dynamic alarm management looks at units and recognizes their process states to only alarm when appropriate- critical to successfully running units in ways they’ve never been run before.
Embarking on Your Boundless Automation Journey: Steps to Success
Identify Goals
Teams embracing a boundless automation mindset recognize a need for change, whether to eliminate data silos inhibiting project success or to achieve specific goals such as sustainability initiatives.
Modernize
To implement Boundless Automation, teams will modernize legacy systems. They will embrace next-generation control systems and advanced technologies like Ethernet advanced physical layer, 5G, OPC UA, hyperconverged infrastructure, containerization, and Kubernetes.
Standardize
Boundless Automation integrates every technology layer—tools, software, control—to democratize data. New solutions must fit into the overall vision. Like some of today's best digital ecosystems, it offers a seamless app-based experience, allowing data to flow freely across field, edge, and cloud, turning it into critical enterprise information for easy, optimized performance adjustments.
