Many industrial facilities like mines, wind farms or marine vessels are often located in remote areas. Operating far from other infrastructure has its challenges, such as dealing with harsh weather conditions and ensuring that a qualified workforce is available at the right spot and time. 

Remote, however, doesn’t always mean far away: crane operators at container terminals can work from a control room rather than high up in a crane, and in mines, blasting can be managed from a safe distance.  

How can automation and digital technologies help address challenges in industrial sites that are hard to reach? And how can technology enhance safety and even open up opportunities for a more diverse workforce?  

To find answers, The Process Automation Podcast host Fran Scott is joined by:
Mårten Sjöström, Professor of Signal Processing at Mid Sweden University 
Sanjit Shewale, Global Head of Digital at ABB Process Industries 
Johannes Sikström, Section Manager Process Control and Analysis at Boliden

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.
