Emerson Enhances Mobile Access for DeltaV SaaS SCADA

Emerson has rejuvenated its mobile device-accessible DeltaV SaaS supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) software, adding enhanced cloud-based data access and a more intuitive interface. Companies seeking to move away from outmoded internal IT systems with security-poor connections need a way to access device status, track performance, execute predictive maintenance, share data, generate insights, and create reports. Emerson’s DeltaV DaaS SCADA platform and mobile app provide an attractive solution.

Delta V SaaS SCADA

The DeltaV SaaS SCADA IIoT platform enables technicians to securely access data and analytics insights from remote locations at any time. Customers can gain compliance-assured access to production data and custom reports through Analytics View. They also benefit from enhanced pre-failure detection, 24/7 customer support, and more.

Users of the SaaS SCADA platform can add Field Capture technology, allowing them (based on role-based access) to manually enter or import updated data from multiple wells or facilities. The key aspect of this technology is the ability to import, share, analyze, and export data across various areas and personnel. Advanced reporting is available to spot problem areas across site operations, generate actionable insights, and act accordingly to maintain production uptime (alongside optimum performance).

In the oil and gas industry, keeping up with audits mandated by regulatory bodies is important for maintaining compliance and avoiding financial penalties. Staff can modify and manage schematics for oil and gas well pads, while the Measurement Schematics software tracks and records changes (providing useful historical records) and approvals. Integration with the DeltaV SaaS SCADA platform means users can also view and monitor well pad schematics alongside real-time production data.

Gas and liquid composition monitoring and refinement are also important aspects of regulatory compliance, ensuring efficient inventory management and determining the optimal product composition. The Delta SaaS SCADA platform can also incorporate Composition Management software manage lab test scheduling, results, and approvals. Field device updates are updated on approval of lab tests, and the latest test results are made available to multiple authorized users to ensure staff stay informed of the latest data.

Delta SaaS SCADA Asset Protect is another key technology that allows users to track and maintain fixed assets within their facility. Essentially, it serves as an enhanced Health, Safety, and Environmental software, providing an overview of assets and their performance/health status to enable targeted, preventive maintenance. In this way, Asset Protect is designed to reduce operational costs and keep hardware running to maintain uptime.

Case Study

Tereos replaced antiquated on-site hardware with the cloud-hosted DeltaV SaaS SCADA system to modernize its time-dependent sugar manufacturing. This transition allows authorised users to gain continuous insight and sophisticated analytics for crucial machinery from any location using the DeltaV SaaS SCADA Mobile app. By using this SaaS model, Tereos removed the need for internal IT upkeep and security patches, enabling scalability across several international locations and setting the stage for maximum operational efficiency throughout its most crucial phases of production.

Overall, the newly upgraded mobile app for the DeltaV SaaS SCADA platform provides access to newly added route planning features and a more user-friendly interface for optimizing oversight and management of their SCADA systems to improve overall productivity.
