Boundless Automation℠ is Emerson's vision for an industrial automation platform that integrates operations across the intelligent field, edge and cloud to empower enterprise-wide visibility, optimization and autonomous operations.
Emerson streamlines your experience with one cohesive framework. Unlock intuitive use, scalable growth, and these key benefits:
Standardizing on one solution breaks down silos by eliminating the need for bolt-on solutions and integrating all operational areas into a single software ecosystem.
The cohesive nature of the boundless automation architecture eliminates the need for resource-draining integrations of new operational technologies.
Standardizing on a single ecosystem allows for comprehensive operations, as all data can be interconnected, providing a holistic view for easier decision-making and optimized operations.
Boundless Automation propels us into the future with a tri-fold strategy: intelligent field, edge computing, and the cloud combine to form a secure, flexible software platform. This seamless data highway allows software applications to run directly in smart field devices, advanced edge computing, and the cloud.
