Emerson a global automation technology and software company, has been named the “Industrial IoT Company of the Year” by IoT Breakthrough for the second year in a row.
The honor recognizes Emerson’s innovation and leadership in driving Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technologies and strategies for customers in manufacturing industries such as oil and gas, power, chemical, life sciences and others.
The IoT Breakthrough Awards, which received more than 3,500 nominations in 2018, recognize 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 of IoT professionals and experts with hands-on experience within the Internet of Things market, including journalists, analysts and professionals from top start-ups and Fortune 100 companies.
With IIoT capabilities, industrial companies have more potential than ever to collect real-time data. However, turning that data into actionable information and game-changing operational performance can be a complex process. To help customers implement IIoT technologies seamlessly, Emerson pioneered its Plantweb™ digital ecosystem, a scalable portfolio of technologies, software and services that enables performance improvement in production, reliability, safety and energy management.
A recent Emerson study of industry leaders responsible for digital transformation initiatives showed that merely 20% of respondents had both a vision for digital transformation and a clear, actionable roadmap to implement. Absence of this practical roadmap was cited as the No. 1 barrier for digital transformation projects.
To help customers realize the promise of digital transformation, Emerson’s Plantweb digital ecosystem uses a structured, scalable approach that enables companies to focus on priority areas with a practical roadmap tailored to their business needs and readiness. Ultimately, these Plantweb solutions help customers reach Top Quartile performance, measured by optimized production, improved reliability, enhanced safety and minimized energy usage.
