TotalEnergies and Emerson’s Aspen Technology business have announced a strategic collaboration to deploy advanced digital technologies for the continuous, real-time collection of data from TotalEnergies’ industrial sites. The objective is to harness the value of that data to enhance decision-making, specifically through the use of artificial intelligence (AI), and optimize operational efficiency, energy use and environmental performance at TotalEnergies sites worldwide, thereby continuing to supply more reliable and sustainable energy.
Under the terms of the deal, TotalEnergies will roll out Emerson’s AspenTech Inmation across its industrial sites worldwide. This industrial data fabric will continuously collect and centralize millions of real-time data points from TotalEnergies’ facilities, providing secure and unified access to data across the organization.
The digital infrastructure, which also includes Emerson’s advanced process control solutions, will subsequently allow TotalEnergies to deploy AI use cases.
This rollout is planned over a two-year period and will ultimately enable TotalEnergies to extract more value from its data by:
- Accelerating the detection of anomalies and performance degradation;
- Optimizing energy consumption;
- Enhancing operational safety;
- Speeding up the integration of AI into industrial processes.
“At TotalEnergies, digital technology is a key enabler of our transformation toward a more sustainable and efficient energy future. Our collaboration with Emerson demonstrates how advanced technologies such as Inmation help us optimize operations, reduce emissions, and generate long-term value. This collaboration is a sign of our intention to turn data and digital tech into the hallmarks of our facilities’ industrial excellence,” said Namita Shah, President of OneTech at TotalEnergies.
“Emerson’s Aspen Technology business has worked with TotalEnergies for almost 30 years, and we’re excited to continue our collaboration by supporting their operational and sustainability objectives with our digital technologies. The powerful combination of AI and our industrial data fabric solution will serve to accelerate TotalEnergies’ mission,” said Vincent Servello, President of Emerson’s Aspen Technology business.
Emerson’s Inmation technology is a key component of Emerson’s recently announced Project Beyond, the industry’s first software-defined, OT-ready digital platform that seamlessly integrates and optimizes industrial operations to help customers enable Boundless Automation.

Solenoid Valves: Direct Acting vs. Pilot-Operated
While presenting in a recent VMA Valve Basics 101 Course in Houston, I found myself in a familiar role: explaining solenoid valves (SOVs) to attendees. (I work with solenoids so much that one VMA member at that conference joked that I needed to be wearing an I Heart Solenoids t-shirt). During the hands-on “petting zoo” portion of the program, which involves smaller groups of attendees, one of the most frequently asked questions I get from people came up: What’s the difference between direct-acting and pilot-operated SOVs, and how do we make a choice?
