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 […]

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 […]

The energy sector is undergoing a profound transformation—driven not just by policy shifts or sustainability targets, but by the increasing convergence of digital technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Edge Computing. And while much of the noise still surrounds pilot projects and theoretical potential, a very real and very pragmatic shift is already well underway. […]

The thought of digitalization can be overwhelming. When we first started talking about IIoT or digitalization about a decade ago, the concepts were prescribed as an all-encompassing, top-down approach taking the industrial world from Industry 3.0 to Industry 4.0.However, that approach proved to be too big. Rather than identify real problems that could be fixed, […]
