Digital twins for live petroleum production optimization
To obtain optimal production in the oil and gas industry, the asset must be operated at appropriate setpoints and associated with the equipment’s Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) network to provide transferrable data.
A new era of thermowell-free temperature measurement
In oil, gas and chemical processing applications, accurate and reliable temperature measurement is crucial, and is traditionally achieved using thermowells, which have been known to be problematic
AI, controls and the future of maintenance
Artificial intelligence (AI) techniques are helping control and maintenance effectiveness, and an application demonstration shows how process simulation and machine teaching builds AI-based controllers to resolve industry problems, as shown in an Oct. 21 Virtual Training Week course.
COVID-19 impact on engineering, engineers
Engineers like facts and seek credible information sources on COVID-19 (Coronavirus) effects to the engineering-related world. Engineers also have technologies, processes and expert advice that can help. See Control Engineering highlights.
