Across societies and economies, many of us take it for granted that we have reliable power at the flip of a switch, that water flows at the turn of a knob, or that goods are available at our fingertips. What we rarely think about are the sophisticated, interconnected processes, systems, technologies and operations working around the clock to enable everyday life as many of us know it. At the heart of what’s behind this seeming ‘magic’ in the background is process automation – orchestrating production and enabling safe and efficient operations of some of the most complex and vast infrastructures on our planet.

In this first episode host Fran Scott is joined by Peter Terwiesch, President of ABB’s Process Automation business area, to discuss what process automation is and how automation, electrification and digital technologies – through their role in industry – are contributing to life the way we know it and are enabling society to become more efficient and sustainable to make a world of difference. The Process Automation Podcast by ABB is a Fresh Air Production.

From the phones in our hands, to the water in our taps Process Automation technologies are behind the scenes, orchestrating industrial processes, machinery, and systems to operate seamlessly and efficiently to enable our everyday.

Join presenter and engineer Fran Scott as she explores the often unseen magic of process automation that enables our daily lives.

Throughout this series we’re going to discover how these invisible forces make a world of difference, affecting some of the world’s biggest industries such as mining for vital materials that provide the building blocks for modern life to shipping products around the world. Even the industries bringing essentials like water and gas into our homes. And ultimately we’ll see how these technologies not only make it possible, but in fact make these industries more efficient, safe, and sustainable than ever before.
