There
are many challenges that face a manufacturer and they must be addressed in
order to keep the doors open.
In the past, the main objective was to control your plant; today, the
main objective is to manage your plant or multiple sites in a way that is
efficient and properly documented.
Plant data is your primary means for reliably maintaining and
improving process performance.
Global
Competition
Globalization has
resulted in a worldwide marketplace where processing facilities need to be
more efficient without cutting corners.
Plant floor data is your primary means for improving process
performance. While data must be collected, analyzed, and filtered to help
ensure optimal operations, management of this information is the key to
avoiding data overload, confusion, missed information, and missed
opportunities.
From the most
remote plant floor to the executive office, Emerson provides complete
information management systems to Fortune 100 companies that calculate key
performance indicators (KPI) and provide the critical knowledge management
needs to take advantage of opportunities as they arise. The end result is a
more efficient plant that can operate more competitively.
Dynamic
Market
This
new, more dynamic global market forces businesses to be able to respond
quickly, while remaining flexible to rapidly changing demands. To
help meet these demands, we at Emerson have augmented our best-in-class
measurement, analytical, final control, and innovative PlantWeb architecture
with a broad array of engineering, consulting, maintenance and project
management services.
Your
decision-makers get an integrated data management solution that provides access
to information about processes, supply chains and market trends both in
real-time and from a historical perspective, while being able to quickly
sort and filter data with confidence in the quality of the data you are
using. This allows you to perform complex analysis while being able to
visualize that data in a context relevant to the roles of the people who
need to act upon it. Understanding functional effectiveness of production
management systems is a key competency which Emerson brings to the table to
evaluate, consulate and recommend improvements.
These solutions enable the decision making process work on a global
basis. From the crude trader to the refiners meeting sales and marketing
goals daily takes an overall understanding and nimble Production Management
systems. Our consultants collaborate with clients to determine a best fit
design that meets the needs of the global dynamic market; this is one of the
core competencies Emerson maintains in our Advanced Applied Technologies
group.
Secure
and Reliable Enterprise
Organizational data is increasing at an alarming rate and can be scattered
around the organization in a multitude of different systems and databases. It is a major challenge to develop and maintain a data
management system that integrates all of these sources while maintaining
data transmission reliability and security.
Emerson works with clients early to design and engineer the required data
management solution to address their specific information needs while
sustaining a reliable and secure network.
Emerson is flexible and provides scalable solutions to address small
one-plant facilities up through multi-plant global integration. Emerson
delivers world-class tools, services and strategic partnerships that enable
the transformation of data into usable knowledge that empowers real decision
support at all levels of the organization. We partner with industry
innovators like OSIsoft, DMI and Microsoft to ensure your data management
solution performs as you expected it to.
Regulations
and Accountability
At present, the North
American Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 holds publicly traded companies
accountable for maintaining control over their financial reporting.
Financial reporting includes information about raw material
inventory, product inventory, and work in process (plant floor data).
With more scrutiny and penalty for not providing real-time and
accurate data, companies need smarter plants with integrated data management
and analysis across all plants.
Emerson
has been providing accurate measurement solutions for processing plants long
before regulations demanded this activity.
Our data management services ensure this accurate plant floor data is
available
