Acquiring prediction data is particularly useful for determining the health of sleeve bearings on turbo machinery.
The Industrial Internet of Things is presenting companies with ever more data about their processes.
Sensor technology and the Internet of Things
to deploy because of wireless technology, a vast amount of extra information is becoming available to plant operators. Known as the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) by some companies – and pervasive sensing by others – the challenge is how to handle this information in a way that will improve the entire lifecycle of an industrial plant. Big data analytics is the key, enabling process companies to extract valuable operational information from all this smart data in a fast, secure way.

The strategy pursued by Emerson Process Management, one of the companies that prefers to use the ‘pervasive sensing’ description, combines its abilities in sensor and wireless technologies for industrial
s sensor technology becomes simpler, more diverse, easier to implement and more effective
process facilities with its application expertise and data analytics to provide better and actionable data that extends beyond traditional process controls to other functions, such as site safety and energy management. To this end it has just opened a new US$10 million (€9.2 million) Pervasive Sensing Centre of Excellence in Singapore to help industrial producers operate more effi ciently, safely, reliably and profi tably. It is the company’s fi rst such centre.
Emerson will be working with the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) to provide pervasive sensing pilot projects, training and testing capabilities for companies, and to provide educational opportunities for college students, with an end objective of helping industrial companies become more energy effi cient.
