5 questions to ask about SCADA redundancy
Resilience, the ability to carry on in the face of adversity, is a hot topic among those who manage industrial systems. Automatic server failover is an important building block for making automation systems resilient. Not long ago, this was a luxury only large systems could afford. With increased accountability and advances in technology, industrial users of every size are now obliged to consider how redundancy can increase system resilience. Chris Little, media relations director at Trihedral Engineering Limited, creators of VTScada software, talked with Control about five questions users must ask to ensure a new SCADA application will s...

What determines total cost of SCADA system ownership?
The classic economic definition of the total cost of ownership (TCO) is the purchase price of an asset plus its operating costs over the asset’s lifespan. While this may be relatively easy to calculate for hard goods like a piece of machinery, the cost factors for soft goods, such as SCADA software, are more complicated to ascertain due to their wide range of features and licensing models. Control talked with Barry Baker, vice president of Trihedral Engineering Limited, to gain some insights from his more than 30 years of SCADA systems experience in many diverse industries.

The challenges of LPG tank gauging and how to overcome them
Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is a hydrocarbon gas consisting primarily of propane, butane, or a mixture of both. Because it produces lower greenhouse gas emissions than traditional solid fuels, there's increasing demand for LPG across the world. In fact, some governments have implemented policies and initiatives to promote the use of LPG to reduce air pollution and improve public health. This increased demand puts the onus on storage terminals to use their capacity as efficiently as possible, by optimizing inventory management and safety. This can be achieved by integrating non-contacting radar level gauges into tank gauging systems. ...

Putting process safety in a prominent place
While innovation happens frequently in process automation, safety is sometimes “out of scope.” There are many reasons, but one primary reason is it can be a scary proposition for many operators to trust artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to do jobs that humans historically handle. And, with barriers such as cybersecurity concerns and a daunting amount of software tools to choose from, the prospect of handing over security and safety in process applications sometimes ends up being pushed to the background. However, even if there’s reluctance to work with software for process safety applications, tomorrow it will b...

As in other industrial sectors, the past 30 years have seen substantial consolidation among suppliers serving the process automation marketplace. Indeed, the last burst of entrepreneurial spirit seemed to have left the market when the late 1990s dot-com bubble burst. Today, of the top 25 suppliers to the U.S. market that Control magazine identified in 1990, a full two thirds of that “old guard” no longer exist as independent entities, with much of the global market presence accruing to a relative handful of primary platform providers.

For the engineers among us, it stands to reason that sustainable industrial organizations—those that are most efficient and least wasteful—would also be most profitable. But the very word sustainability carries with it a heap of negative, punitive connotations in the public consciousness. A long history of well meaning, but often rear-view mirrored regulatory reactions are in part to blame, says Chris Hamlin, a consultant working with Seeq to pioneer new ways to create business value using the company’s products and services.
