When you’re watching a great movie it absorbs you into the story, the action and the characters. It's probably not a great movie if you find yourself thinking about other things like; “How did they get that camera angle?” Or “These are really strange sound effects" or even worse "Did I put the laundry in the dryer?"
There’s a strong correlation between the movie production mechanics and your operations. On your computer or smart device, you want just to see the data from local and remote locations—production, measurements, down time, machine health, maintenance schedules, utility costs—or whatever, as long as it's data you can action upon to help you increase your production, safety, profits or sustainability. You don’t want to fumble around with reporting, why you’re not getting data from the sensors in the compressor, or what happened to last month’s figures. If your current system causes you to do that, you’re ready for a change.
That’s why you have remote monitoring—for the data analytics. Emerson’s cloud-based, proven IIoT platform gives you everything you need, at the swipe of a screen or the tap of a link. Our platform incorporates the reports, charts and data you need, in the way you need it. It easily adapts to any changes in your equipment configuration, locations, reporting requirements or anything else. After all, the world around us changes constantly, and having the flexibility to adapt quickly is vital to your organization's success.
Maybe you’re thinking this sounds good, but you’re hesitant about making a change. Perhaps your current or previous vendor told you they only work with certain hardware—their own brand of sensors, edge computers or communications. You may be concerned that changing anything would be too costly in time, data and money.
Fortunately, Emerson’s cloud-native IIoT system is hardware agnostic. We’ve already worked with pretty much every hardware brand and system there is, so we can quickly and seamlessly plug in to yours. And we can import your historical data. So if you’ve merged or done an acquisition recently (or are planning to soon), and have data scattered across multiple servers and several time zones or hemispheres, we can package all that up and deliver everything to one database and one reporting system. No matter how many remote locations you’re tracking, we can make sure your authorized end users get the right data, at the right time.
Seamless integration of historical and current data informs diagnostics in every way.
• Right-scheduling preventive maintenance of pumps or compressors? Check.
• Deciding when to right-size pumps as production changes? Sure.
• Evaluating whether to divest of a location or field because it no longer justifies the expense of maintaining a remote operation? Yes!
• Even knowing things like where the tank level is currently without sending someone there that has to climb up the tank to see? You bet!
With Zedi, Emerson's cloud-native IIoT platform you can prioritize your operations—production, productivity and profits—without being concerned about your hardware and software only teaming up long enough to conspire against you! We're experts in making IIoT work easily for you with everything from communications, MQTT, IIoT gateways, utilizing machine learning and AI.
Few things are simple in this world, and keeping your operations running smoothly as a whole is very complicated. But your remote monitoring software and IIoT platform doesn’t have to be. Let one of our industry experts listen to your requirements and ideas, then walk you through the ways we can help you get the data you need when and where you need it.
