Five-year framework agreement to implement
automation software and technology will help paint manufacturer
increase throughput and quality and reduce operating costs
Emerson (NYSE: EMR), a global provider of industrial automation
technology and software, has announced a framework agreement with
paint manufacturer Jotun to automate and digitalize its global
manufacturing facilities. The five-year agreement will enable Jotun
to implement Emerson’s digital technologies to enhance all aspects
of manufacturing automation in new factories, and for selected
upgrades in some of its 39 existing factories around the world.
Jotun is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of decorative
paints and marine, protective and powder coatings. Through its
agreement with Emerson, Jotun will increase process automation and
create a standardized digital technology solution for new factory
projects, which will help the company achieve increased throughput,
uptime and product quality, while reducing operating costs.
“In securing a long-term automation partner with the expertise
required to support our journey, we will have access to systems,
competence and support serving our needs when constructing and
operating technically advanced and efficient paint factories around
the world,” said Fredrik Urdahl, Jotun’s group technical director -
operations. “Emerson’s advanced automation technologies and focus
on providing standardized project methodologies, as well as global
and local support, were critical factors in our selection for
collaboration.”
Jotun will initially focus on standardizing on Emerson’s
modular, scalable and easy-to-use DeltaV™ distributed control
system in new factory projects. The intelligent control will ensure
consistent, integrated batch processes, minimizing risk to product
quality and enhancing productivity.
The agreement also enables Emerson to deliver a wide range of
automation solutions to improve Jotun’s manufacturing operations.
These could include advanced sensor technologies, data management
and analytics platforms, software applications, predictive
maintenance and remote monitoring techniques and asset management
tools.
“We have a long track record of helping companies introduce
technologies and processes that lead to game-changing enhancements,
and Emerson is committed to helping Jotun realize significant
ongoing production efficiency improvements,” said Mark Bulanda,
executive president of Emerson’s Automation Solutions business. “We
will help support Jotun’s transformation efforts not only through
our industry-leading portfolio of digital technologies and
solutions, but also from our Project Certainty methodologies.”
