Putting the Internet of Things to Work for You

Smartphones have made us feel more connected than ever before. But no matter how often we think we check our phones, our level of connectivity is tiny compared to the countless wireless conversations that are happening all around us between the machines and technology that keep our lives moving.

We see Internet of Things solutions as an opportunity to help our business customers boost their bottom lines and deliver unmatched service using cutting-edge technology.

At its core, the Internet of Things is a system that connects devices with the Internet and one another. These connections can automate processes that range from the small — starting your morning cup of coffee from your bed, with your smartphone — to the enormous: keeping life-saving pharmaceuticals at the right temperature for maximum quality and effectiveness.

For Emerson, the Internet of Things is creating opportunities to develop technology solutions that can collect and analyze data — and the resources to turn that data into action. Here’s a snapshot of some of the innovative ways Emerson is using the Internet of Things to turn our customers into technology pioneers. ​​

Critical Insight From Across the Globe

What if your plant could get expert insight from 3,000 miles away? Since the advent of microprocessors and network-based instrumentation, Emerson has been helping process manufacturing industries — such as oil and gas, refining, chemical, pharmaceutical, power generation, food and beverage — actively use our sensor devices to ensure safer, more reliable processes.

Emerson’s Pervasive Sensing™ strategy for process automation takes our technologies to the next level. By installing our wireless, easy-to-use sensors that continually monitor and detect equipment health and operating conditions, our customers can get more and deeper data about all aspects of their plant’s operations.

Our software applications and embedded sensor intelligence enable fast data interpretation, providing companies with the flexibility to make real-time adjustments in their plants to operate as safely and reliably as possible. And by enabling Emerson's approach to Integrated Operations Command Centers (iOps), Emerson experts can dynamically collaborate with customer specialists to make real-time evaluations and consultations – in the same room or thousands of miles apart.

Collaboration Tools to Save Time, Money

Emerson’s RIDGIDConnect™ service offers a digital platform for contractors and services professionals such as plumbers, HVAC technicians and facilities managers to store job site photos and videos, job reports and histories, maintenance records, customer lists and other files needed for recordkeeping and collaboration. The online tool enables subscribers to collaborate with customers, other contractors and third parties in real time.

As we continue to bring life-changing technology to life, we think you’ll see what we see:
