Odva recently announced that level sensors are the latest option for process device profiles to be added to The Ethernet/IP Specification. Process device profiles help users to reduce complexity and to more quickly install new devices in the event of an unplanned replacement.

Qair has plans to develop an e-methanol production project Methavert at the Haropa Port site, in Le Havre, France. The facility is expected to initially produce 200,000 tonnes of e-methanol to support the decarbonization of maritime transport and other high-emission and hard-to-abate industries.

There is a wealth of knowledge hidden in operational data. However, the utilization often fails due to the fact that the data lies decentralized and unstructured in various data silos. Standardization, contextualization, and a unified data platform are key to becoming a data-driven company. Three very different companies in the process industry demonstrate how they have approached this and what results they have achieved.
