Today, manufacturing and energy companies face new, intricately intertwined challenges, such as decarbonization, international regulations, and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in addition to the challenges of digital transformation (DX) efforts. AVEVA, which has promoted DX from the perspective of business operations and plant lifecycle management, integrated OSIsoft, a data management infrastructure company, in 2021. Under the new system, AVEVA organizes issues to be tackled in the future and proposes efforts to solve the issues for Japan’s process, energy, and infrastructure-related companies that have many users of OSIsoft’s PI system.

Meredith Corda has three tattoos.  The first she got, the one she yearned for from the age of 14, is of a bee. The bee rests on her right wrist, its wings spread to span the length of her palm.  It isn’t the only manifestation of Corda’s affinity for the black-and-yellow insects: She’s dedicated a song to them, as well as an Instagram highlight reel. Since elementary school, she’s interacted more closely with them than most are willing to.  “The bee thing has been very present in my life for as long as I can remember,” Corda said. “I was obsessed with them. Starting in third grade, I used to pick up bees with my bare hands. I’m not kidding, I would literally pick up bees like this,” Corda said as she clasped her hands together, “and walk around to kids on the playground and scare them with the bees.”  Rest assured, bees hold a special place in Corda’s heart beyond their potential for preteen harassment.
