Press Release: Emerson Global Users Exchange draws record attendance
Wireless, cyber security, asset reliability and optimization major focus of annual event
AUSTIN, TEXAS (October 26, 2006) — More than 2,100 people from 48 countries, all of them decision makers in the automation industry, attended the 2006 Emerson Global Users Exchange in Nashville, which was held Oct. 2-6 at the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Conference Center. This year's conference was themed "Learn, Lead and Unleash," and, as always, was put on by Emerson's dynamic community of users.
Emerson Global User Exchange has been recognized as one of the premier user events for process automation in the world. The five-day conference has been characterized as providing excellent user presentations, industry-specific sessions, topical management roundtable discussions, and a large trade-show size exhibit area.
The conference combines extensive networking opportunities and knowledge sharing through educational presentations in a relaxing and friendly environment. Users are given an opportunity to see and discuss Emerson Process Management's product technology roadmaps, participate in hands-on demonstrations, attend short courses, and learn how peers are tackling the challenges of improving business performance.
"The Emerson Exchange offers opportunities to everyone who attends, from the plant manager to the technician," according to James Cook, process control engineer, Degussa Corporation and 2006 Chairman of the Emerson Exchange. "With user participation in every Industry Business Forum, Management Roundtable, short course and workshop, it is the premier conference by far. Users share the good and the bad, all to improve the bottom line of their businesses and to grow as individuals. Everyone leaves with something that makes them better at what they do — that is what the Exchange is all about."
Developed under the guidance of a 16-member Board of Directors and a five-member Advisory Board, the conference's five-day agenda is largely developed by users for users. Twenty-three short courses were available this year, four of which were taught by Emerson's Education Services professionals and provide Continuing Educational Units (CEUs).
Plenty of learning opportunities
This year's Emerson Global User Exchange received nearly 500 abstract submissions to fill 300 workshops in 11 technical and business tracks. When the workshops are combined with the management roundtables, product roadmaps, short courses, and industry business forums, attendees have plenty of opportunities to share and to learn.
But learning is a two-way street, and Emerson Global User Exchange provides users with an opportunity to not only learn about the direction Emerson intends to take, but to lend direct input into those roadmaps during candid conversations with a host of Emerson product managers in attendance. The result is an open and meaningful exchange that leads to innovative products and solutions that are designed using defined and identified customer requirements.
Three of the many innovations and key issues presented and discussed at this year's Emerson Global User Exchange were wireless field instruments, cyber security, and asset reliability and optimization.
Emerson's new Smart Wireless in-plant solutions were also a major focal point of discussion. The Smart Wireless solutions were designed based on user input that Emerson received throughout the development cycle, and have been field-proven through extensive user trials. While they learned about Smart Wireless, conference attendees could also take advantage of 17 workshops on wireless technology. What made several of these workshops especially attractive for users was the fact that the presenter was one of the users who was directly involved in the development and field trials of what eventually became Smart Wireless.
Cyber security workshops, a topic that was hardly even noticed by attendees three years ago, were both abundant and well attended at this year's Emerson Global User Exchange, reinforcing the notion that installing a firewall simply isn't enough to protect automation systems from being used to attack communities, employees, and plant assets.
Asset reliability, which is critical to achieving asset optimization, was the third area generating significant interest at this year's Emerson Global User Exchange. Asset reliability presentations ranged from the significant benefits achieved by applying better calibration practices, to designing for maintainability, to locating diagnostic information in a sea of data. Attendees had 22 workshops covering asset reliability and 23 workshops covering asset optimization from which to choose.
Additional learning opportunities abounded in the more than 45,000 square feet of Exhibitor Booths. Besides the presence of products and services from Emerson Process Management, 43 other exhibitors provided users opportunities to examine the latest in calibration, termination, engineering tools, power supplies, and much more.

"Until now, there was no easy, reliable and economical way to reach all of the assets that needed monitoring. Smart Wireless technology for in-plant mainstream applications changes that paradigm. Inspired by customer input, we began research and development of this new technology in 1998, and have completed three years of customer field trials. In those trials, we've seen customers quickly discover and remedy problems that would have gone undetected."
Overall, Emerson wireless trial customers have experienced 99.9 percent network reliability, extremely easy deployment, industrial strength security, long battery life, and as much as 90 percent less installed cost.
Emerson is united with its customers on the need for standards that support mainstream user needs. Emerson is actively collaborating in the standards development process and is bringing the company's field trial experience and use case learning's to the standards bodies. Emerson is guaranteeing complete support and investment in industrial wireless standards, plus an easy upgrade path for compliance to the industry standard when it is completed.
To make it even easier for customers to reach the next level of business improvement, Emerson is introducing the Wireless SmartPack™ Starter Kit, consisting of SmartStart™ services; from 5 to 100 wireless Rosemount flow, pressure, level, or temperature transmitters; wireless gateway; and a 25-tag AMS Intelligent Device Manager software application for predictive information access with a native wireless gateway. Completely pre-engineered, checked out and configured, the network will form right out of the box, with no additional user input or setup.
"It has been exciting to see how in-plant Emerson Smart Wireless functionality has captured the imagination of managers, engineers, and operations personnel during trials," added Berra. "Once they started using the technology, they were able to envision additional applications. They wanted more wireless products! We are thrilled to respond to our customers by launching Emerson Smart Wireless solutions, and to join them in ushering in the age of wireless and the new level of performance it promises."
A complete set of technical documentation, online tools and information about the newest additions to the Smart Wireless portfolio is available at www.emersonprocess.com/SmartWireless.
