Emerson’s vision for an industrial architecture built on a consistent, cohesive software ecosystem from intelligent field devices to the edge, and to the cloud—integrating operations to make all data instantly accessible, understandable, and usable for analytics, innovation and performance improvement.
Emerson streamlines your experience with one cohesive framework. Unlock intuitive use, scalable growth, and these key benefits:
Standardizing on one solution breaks down silos by eliminating the need for bolt-on solutions and integrating all operational areas into a single software ecosystem.
The cohesive nature of the boundless automation architecture eliminates the need for resource-draining integrations of new operational technologies.
Standardizing on a single ecosystem allows for comprehensive operations, as all data can be interconnected, providing a holistic view for easier decision-making.
Boundless Automation™ propels us into the future with a tri-fold strategy: intelligent field, edge computing, and the cloud combine to form a secure, flexible software platform. This seamless data highway allows software applications to run directly in smart field devices, advanced edge computing, and the cloud.
Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer
“Boundless automation is Emerson's vision of the next generation of automation architecture that will enable the freer flow and democratization of data across the enterprise,” says Zornio. “With boundless automation, enterprise customers will be empowered to optimize their manufacturing facilities in multiple domains and balance production goals with reliability and sustainability goals.”
Embrace the full potential of digital transformation and new technologies with a fresh automation architecture. This software-defined, data-centric, and app-enabled system allows seamless connection, management, and integration of facility-generated data. It facilitates secure data migration from new IIoT devices and edge controls to the cloud for comprehensive analysis, trending, and forecasting. Importantly, it fosters close collaboration between IT and OT, driving efficiency and innovation.
