Global trends in process automation
Our business in the global chemical industry has grown steadily in recent years with a focus on safety and product innovations for continuous improvements. In emerging markets, there is an increasing demand for safety-related products meeting the trend of rising regulatory requirements. Furthermore, mergers and acquisitions are driving the consolidation of the chemical industry.
Key trends driving the measurement segment.
In automation, one question keeps us busy: How can we help our customers to optimize and continuously improve their plant efficiency and availability? A smart transmitter does not help if the intelligence is not connected with the application. Smart devices become an enabling element as part of modern maintenance architectures. Inventions and technological solutions such as Heartbeat Technology support these objectives.
Furthermore, our customers request more advanced analyzers (PAT) with less installation effort to allow for inline and just-in-time quality control.
