Emerson has completed its acquisition of the Italy-based Progea Group, a provider of industrial internet of things (IIoT), plant analytics, human machine interface (HMI) and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) technologies. The addition of Progea’s capabilities in analytics, industrial visualization and IIoT will build upon Emerson’s embedded software and control portfolio for manufacturing, infrastructure and building automation applications. The acquisition is expected to bridge a customer technology gap by lowering the total cost of ownership and reducing the barriers of working across multiple vendors. “The acquisition of Progea strengthens our ability to provide customers with an integrated package of control, visualization and IoT, to help our customers improve overall equipment efficiency, and accelerate their digital transformation journey,” said Lal Karsanbhai, executive president of Emerson’s automation solutions business. “Progea’s capability and expertise in machine and plant- level visualization and analytics provide customers with a flexible, scalable solution for their programmable logic controller (PLC) applications in discrete and hybrid markets.”
