Floor to Cloud™ – The Future of Automation

Monitoring utilities such as compressed air, water, steam or other gases, and electricity is critical in industries such as food and beverage production and packaging, in which equipment cleaning and changeover between batches must be streamlined.

Emerson provides a single solution for this critical challenge. Our products monitor all media essential to manufacturing. Our valve systems, sensors, Edge Devices and analytics dashboard can help you gauge efficiency, optimize productivity, and avoid or reduce downtime.

Food and beverage manufacturers provide a key use case for Emerson’s multi-media monitoring approach. These companies typically spend about 30% of utility costs on clean-in-place operations. They also lose time between changeovers and spend between $20,000 to $40,000 in labor costs for manual reporting. We will work with plant managers and operators to uncover actionable insights into media use, to help you maximize efficiency and productivity.

Inferior equipment, unplanned downtime, and lack of performance insights negatively impact your overall plant/machine availability, performance, and quality, and prevent you from being competitive. Optimizing operations and equipment effectiveness is essential in every manufacturing plant.

But in a fast-changing marketplace, you must also master the digitalization and automation challenges of the future. Emerson’s experts will introduce you to our Branson, AVENTICS & PACSystems automation technologies and Movicon software that will help you configure your systems and plant connectivity and collect real-time data. This powerful technical combination can help you improve your operating equipment effectiveness (OEE) and gain access to new and trapped data by implementing robust, secure, industry-leading automation solutions.

In a highly competitive market, you need to do more with less. Workforces are already stretched thin, and it is challenging to attract and develop talented employees with the right skillsets for building the factories of the future. Success depends on completing your Digital Transformation and unlocking the full value of data-driven automation and decision-making. It also depends on choosing the right automation supplier.

Emerson’s experts are ready to help, no matter where you are in your Digital Transformation journey. We’ll bring the right set of tools, technologies, and products, and roll up our sleeves to make configuration and commissioning a seamless process. We will provide your workforce with the tools that help them meet productivity benchmarks by fusing IT and OT functionality, while always doing more with less.

If you are developing or operating machines for manufacturing, you depend on a high-performance solution. It must be flexible to meet changing production demands over an extended lifecycle. It must deliver reliability to maximize availability and throughput. And every machine in the process must be future-proofed and energy efficient, so that you can lower total cost of ownership and meet ambitious environmental sustainability goals.

Emerson’s technology provides the precise, powerful linear movement essential to any electric linear motion control solution. Additionally, our advanced machine automation solution delivers the highest levels of reliability and accuracy for assured uniformity and consistency of production. A high level of flexibility allows rapid line changeovers, enabling shorter production runs and increased machine utilization. Our versatile electric actuators ensure the appropriate solution is provided for each application. We also offer quality pneumatic actuators, which makes us an ideal partner whether or not you are moving towards an all-electric process.

Put together, our motional control solution, including actuators and servo drives, will help you increase the performance and flexibility of every essential machine while lowering energy costs. You’ll meet your sustainability benchmarks and remain competitive in a challenging market.
