Over the past few decades, various control disciplines like process, batch, motion and discrete control have been consolidated into a single, common automation architecture. This integration has ...

Though the presumption is that physical separation is needed between control and safety systems to avoid common cause failures, “effective” separation may be enough with proper analysis and the right ...

Over the past decade, power plant control systems have evolved from DCS-centered platforms with proprietary software, to open systems using industry standard hardware and software, and then to totally ...

N-linked glycosylation and other post-translational protein modifications require close monitoring during biomanufacturing, especially in continuous biomanufacturing environments. Researchers at ...

Process and electrical operators have traditionally accessed their data through two separate systems, making timely and proactive decision-making difficult. A new offering from Rockwell Automation ...

In the information technology world, open-source platforms and software, as an alternative to proprietary ones, have long been commonly accepted. In process controls, not so much. That could be ...
