We’re excited to share that we’ll be joining The Oil and Gas Automation and Technology week on May 25 – 26 – presenting on how plants can reduce their environmental footprint by boosting workforce reliability.
The pressure on manufacturing facilities to reduce their impact on the local environment in which they operate is increasing. Politics aside, companies around the world are facing calls to be cleaner and more reliable.
Water and air pollution are particularly sensitive in industrial manufacturing, which regularly leads to adverse societal and economic impacts. In our presentation Wednesday May 26 (13:15pm CST), we will discuss how human error in field operations is a major contributor to unplanned environmental releases and, importantly, how this can be prevented with digital and automated platforms.
