The companies have signed an agreement to jointly develop the next generation of corrosion management solutions for Saudi Arabian Oil Company, with the aim of preventing unplanned downtime and boosting production efficiency.
It wasn’t too long ago that hazardous zones and production zones were reasonably well separated. The areas where explosive gases, vapors, or combustible dusts were present tended to stay in their own very specific environments, and the equipment operating in those areas was specified accordingly. Today, however, that distinction is less clear.
The facility is one of the largest Ethernet-APL field network deployments undertaken by a Chinese domestic chemical enterprise, completion is expected for Q3/2027
As digital transformation increases demand for data from automation systems – driven by new digital innovations such as advanced analytics, AI and expanded connectivity – maintaining system integrity has become a challenge. ABB’s Luis Duran explores how the concept of “separation of concerns” protect the core of the automation system in a cyber-secure way, while enabling new digital value without compromising operational performance.
