Emerson expands DeltaV offering

Emerson has announced it is evolving its DeltaV brand into the DeltaV Automation Platform. The newly expanded automation platform will include SCADA systems, manufacturing execution systems (MES) and operations management software alongside the distributed control (DCS) and safety systems (SIS) and other technologies that have been part of the brand for decades. The company said the evolution builds a more comprehensive automation platform to make it easier for users to deliver smarter, safer, more optimised and more sustainable operations.

The company said the comprehensive nature of the new DeltaV Automation Platform will empower users to move away from ‘plant-by-plant’ strategies to ‘site-by-site’ or even enterprise automation solutions — the more advanced, integrated automation strategies that are increasingly necessary to compete in a complex global marketplace.

“In an era of increased demand and higher sustainability targets, today’s organisations are looking for ways to manage and contextualise data across the many software solutions they use to help unlock easier, faster and safer decisions,” said Nathan Pettus, President of Emerson’s process systems and solutions business. “The DeltaV Automation Platform will combine a flexible, fit-for-purpose portfolio of DCS, SIS, SCADA, MES and operations management software with unmatched application and cross-industry expertise to help cross-functional teams across the enterprise more easily achieve their goals.”

Emerson said that all solutions in the DeltaV Automation Platform will be seamlessly supported through its Guardian digital customer experience. Users will have a single point of access to Guardian’s digital tools and subscriptions for all their software applications.

The continuing evolution of the platform will also extend to future Emerson products. Development for DeltaV Automation Platform offerings will focus on products and systems that communicate and work better together, offering users a more cohesive and streamlined experience.
