February 2018 News

Emerson has been named the Industrial IoT Company of the Year by IoT Breakthrough. The award recognises Emerson’s extensive innovation and leadership in driving IIoT technologies and strategies for customers in manufacturing industries, including oil and gas, food and beverage, chemical, life sciences and others.

Today’s industrial business challenges include fast-changing market dynamics, technical complexity and the relentless pressure to do more with less. To help overcome these challenges, Emerson has harnessed the power of IIoT for customers through its Plantweb digital ecosystem to enable broader process automation and deeper data insights that can improve operations.

“As technology continues to evolve, customers are increasingly turning to us for help navigating the IIoT,” said Mike Train, executive president, Emerson Automation Solutions. “The IIoT holds much promise for manufacturers, but many struggle to identify the right strategies for adoption within their operations. Our job is to act as a trusted partner, helping customers develop the right business case and then implement scalable solutions that deliver measurable returns.”

To meet this need, Emerson’s Plantweb digital ecosystem includes consulting services to help customers build the best business case, backed by a broad portfolio of pervasive sensing technologies, an extensive suite of analytical software tools, secure and robust data infrastructure and expert services. Ultimately, these Plantweb solutions help customers increase plant safety, reliability and profitability to drive toward the highest, Top Quartile operations and capital performance.

The IoT Breakthrough Awards, which received more than 3 000 nominations in 2017, recognise innovators, leaders and visionaries from around the globe in a range of IoT categories, including Industrial, Smart City technology, Connected Home and others. Selections are made by a judging panel comprised of IoT professionals and experts with hands-on experience within the IoT market, including journalists, analysts and professionals from top startups as well as Fortune 100 companies.

“We congratulate Emerson on their product innovation and industry leadership, and we are thrilled to recognise the company as a marquee 2018 IoT Breakthrough Award winner,” concluded IoT Breakthrough managing director James Johnson.
