As industrial cyber threats become more advanced, traditional security approaches often leave OT environments exposed. This session explores how manufacturers can adopt Zero Trust principles to strengthen their security posture without disrupting operations. Experts will discuss key frameworks, industry best practices, and how to build a resilient architecture that protects critical infrastructure from emerging threats.

Non-compliance would result in penalties.
To meet compliance in a cost-effective manner, SABIC’s Mt. Vernon Ultem Polymer process area, implemented an integrated Pressure Safety Valve (PSV) continuous monitoring solution. The system included 86 non-intrusive wireless acoustic transmitters, 4 DeltaV-enabled wireless gateways, Emerson’s Plantweb Insight platform integrated into DeltaV, with the DeltaV OPC database pointing to Aspen IP21 historian, and alarms in the legacy Emerson PROVOX DCS system., Senior Manager Process Automation and Regional OT Security, SABIC

Valve heath is a key focus area because it can impact not only reliability but can also be used to significantly impact repair timelines and costs. Our program includes over 3,000 valves of various manufacturers along with various operational type (pneumatic and electric) actuators. The program also added several other devices as part of the second phase. This program ensures that a simple, data driven program can be implemented in a sustainable manner for the life of the facilities.

Stereotypes tell us they’re unwaveringly confident, often loud, quick-witted, and even aggressive. But what if the best negotiators are often actually…introverts? Perceived as an area dominated by extroverts, introverts bring unique strengths and abilities to the negotiation table. Introspection, empathy, and the capacity for deep focus - hallmarks of the introverted personality - can be leveraged to generate outstanding negotiation results. Beyond just the board room, negotiation skills are vital to effective communication in nearly every aspect of our lives. Introverts will leave recognizing their potential as negotiators, paving the way for more successful professional and personal communications.

Even in many process facilities today, the adoption of Ethernet through L2 network architecture has enabled improvements in operational efficiency and network scalability. However, Ethernet has historically been too difficult to extend to L0, and 4-20mA loops with HART have long remained the global standard for communication with field devices. Now, Ethernet-APL (Advanced Physical Layer) technology is poised to extend Ethernet to field devices by providing an integrated solution for delivering power, data, and hazardous area safety. Emerson is developing a comprehensive solution for Ethernet-APL, spanning DeltaV, AMS, and field devices technologies, to help users realize the full potential of APL.

Operations Management SoftwareGated CatalogPublic CatalogOil & Gas Midstream (Pipelines, Terminals)Digital TransformationDouble BookableEnergy Logistics Peer NetworkTuesday1:00 p.m. Tuesday, May 20Tuesday, May 20Delek has used PipelineManager Software for leak detection since 2019 as a tool to help the company significantly improve operational efficiency and safety. Key features which have helped Delek in this area include batch tracking on production lines handling multiple products, ensuring accurate monitoring of product flow and batch transitions. The software also enables PIG tracking, providing an additional layer of protection by verifying pump start-up and shutdown processes. Delek has seen an overall improvement in system integrity by estimating leak locations, taking a more proactive approach to potential hazards. By capturing data that the operators may overlook, the software has delivered crucial insights that enhance Delek’s operational reliability and reduce risk.
