Digital transformation and energy transition go hand in hand, according to a recent study commissioned by Eaton, a global power management company. The study surveyed over 1,000 executives and found that businesses entering the era of energy transition need new digital tools to manage their changing mix of energy sources. With more renewables being added […]

One of the fundamental qualifications for digital transformation is the connectivity of devices and assets such as controllers, machines, products and even the operators along the entire value chain. Industries are building networks of seamlessly connected digital systems, and controlling and monitoring them over distributed control systems. Digital Transformation for Visibility into Operations With digital […]

Located in Flintshire, North Wales, Connah’s Quay rests on the south bank of the River Dee. The current gas-fired power station was commissioned in 1996, although electricity generation activities have been operated on the land as far back as 1954, when it was originally home to a coal-fired plant. The changes the site has seen […]

Traditional robotics were remarkable in doing one repetitive task, which helped industries to augment efficiency. But now they are not just a bulky machine configured for uniform tasks; rather they perform their task with utmost precision as these are now evolving towards higher cognitive functionality. This leap from robotics to cognitive robotics has marked a […]

In most industrial operations, digital reliability still means one thing: predicting failures before they happen. But as systems mature, that’s no longer enough. The next evolution is about using machine data to drive performance, not just prevention.Seeing What Limits the SystemThe future of reliability depends on two capabilities: understanding residual life and identifying bottlenecks.Residual life assessment estimates how long a […]

The semiconductor industry is moving faster than its tools can keep up. The pace of change, the explosion of data, and the pressure to build fabs in record time are colliding — and the result is a growing gap between design intent and operational reality.Digital twins are emerging as the bridge between those two worlds. […]

Agentic AI is rapidly moving from research labs into production environments, powering everything from autonomous workflows in supply chains to connected medical devices and industrial automation. Unlike traditional generative AI, which produces outputs based on prompts, Agentic AI systems can perceive, reason, and act — executing tasks across enterprise applications, often without human intervention.For industries already operating […]

Modernizing Legacy Infrastructure Without Breaking the Bank As digital transformation sweeps across the energy sector, oil and gas operators face a critical question: how can legacy infrastructure catch up with today’s smart technologies? The answer lies not in replacing the old, but in rethinking how to connect, integrate, and extract value from what’s already in […]

As the energy sector doubles down on digital transformation, a quiet but critical issue is becoming more visible: data overload without operational context. Unlike cybersecurity or grid reliability, this problem rarely makes headlines, yet it’s increasingly responsible for slower decisions, missed anomalies, and underutilized assets. The challenge isn’t collecting more data—it’s processing less, more intelligently.The […]
