Langenfeld, Germany (June 5, 2024) – Emerson, a global leader in automation technology and software, will sponsor the 2024 NAMUR Annual General Meeting in Neuss, Germany, from November 21-22. NAMUR, the international Association of Automation Technology and Digital Users in the Process Industry, is an influential two-day conference that will bring together more than 650 industry executives, expert users and automation suppliers to discuss the latest advances in automation technology and software.

The theme of the NAMUR Annual Conference, “Enabling Boundless Automation in Ecosystems,” aligns with the vision of Boundless Automation™ from Emerson to build a new generation of automation architectures that will enable enterprises to take performance to the next level and better leverage data and software to increase organizational agility and performance.

Peter Zornio, Emerson’s chief Technology officer, will deliver a keynote address highlighting how Emerson’s “Boundary-free automation” strategy aligns with NAMUR’s philosophy and recommendations to help process factories reach their full potential. He will also share insights on how a new generation of automation architectures can unlock the true potential of data to enable modern operating models.

Chairman of the NAMUR Board of Directors

The NAMUR Annual Conference provides a platform for industry leaders to learn about the latest developments in automation and how these advanced technologies can be applied to improve their efficiency, reliability, safety and sustainability. We welcome Emerson as a sponsor of the conference and look forward to learning about the technologies and strategies that enable boundary-free automation.”

The automation architecture of the future will connect intelligent field, edge and cloud computing through a unified data structure, using open standards and protocols such as Ethernet-APL- Advanced Physical Layer,PROFINET®,OPC-UA ®, WirelessHART®,5G, and more. With this approach, companies will be able to open up silos of production, sustainability, reliability and safety data, with powerful analytics and optimization software to achieve greater benefits.

President, Emerson Europe

Emerson looks forward to joining other industry leaders at NAMUR to discuss how modern automation solutions can help companies optimize their production facilities in multiple areas. Due to the limitations of today’s automation architectures, organizations are constrained in their efforts to modernize their operations. By fusing rich data with powerful software, “boundless automation” can unlock the potential of data, fully harness the power of software, and help manufacturers achieve better performance than ever before.

NAMUR will introduce delegates to the challenges and best practices of applying modern automation architectures, technologies and software through a comprehensive conference agenda that includes speakers from a wide range of process industry leaders.

Seminars and presentations by Emerson subject matter experts will focus on the following:
MVME705B  Modern automation architecture with NAMUR Open Architecture (NOA) and MTP protocols
Improve asset reliability with innovative sensor technology, asset management solutions (AMS) and machine health software
• Leverage Ethernet-APL to expand utilization of field instrumentation and safety data
• Maximizing ROI with a “native number” and project certainty approach
• Remote autonomous operation with artificial intelligence industrial software

In addition to the symposium, Emerson will showcase smart field devices, the company’s new DeltaV™ distributed control system, new innovations that support OT edge and cloud computing, and optimization software that provides greater insights and drives significant operational improvements.
