Emerson launches online PlantWeb University

Two of the most common challenges facing process manufacturing professionals are keeping up with/applying technology and quantifying returns on capital before investing in it. Innovative, proven technologies like Foundation fieldbus can revolutionise manufacturing economics.

Emerson Process Management recently launched its online PlantWeb University to help automation professionals understand, select and apply technologies that will improve and sustain their operations' productivity. The new university delivers its curriculum free of charge in 15 minute courses, which are presently online at PlantWebUniversity.

Not only is PlantWeb University available to everyone, organisers add that it's also very convenient. Users can simply log on and then customise their learning experiences to fit their needs and schedules.

In addition, completed courses do not go unrewarded. Correct quiz answers accumulate PlantWeb Points, which can be redeemed for PlantWeb merchandise. Also, when students need to sign off, PlantWeb University maintains their identifications, so they can pick up where they left off when they return.
