MINEXPO PREVIEW
Emerson estimates $ 425 billion of value is on the table for the mining industry and its customers over the next decade due to digital transformation
level and pressure at dam walls , providing realtime data direct to the control room to notify when conditions start to change so timely action can be taken .
In the field of hazardous gas monitoring , Emerson ’ s wireless gas detectors can empower operators to take control of ventilation conditions in underground mines , guaranteeing the
atmosphere is safe for workers . Mining is equipment-intensive , with uptime equaling profit . With connectivity at its core , the
PACSystems devices and architecture reach beyond conventional standards to anticipate trends and reimagine the intersection of control , software , interfaces and devices to meet current and future industrial automation and control needs , Emerson explains .
Also , prescriptive maintenance improves uptime of asset fleet and reduces overall downtime . Emerson and AspenTech work with mining operations and maintenance teams to provide asset performance management solutions , enhancing the performance of critical mobile assets .
Then in the field of water management , Emerson and AspenTech have partnered to provide complete visibility of water use to , they say , empower operators to improve efficiency and optimise recovery . This is through a platform that can measure , automate and optimise processes related to water use and recovery .
Similarly in energy management , Emerson and AspenTech partner with operators to tackle energy use and track emissions .
