Intel Customer Spotlight Featuring ExxonMobil

ExxonMobil and Intel: Advancing Open Process Automation During this Spotlight event, ExxonMobil’s Kenny Warren (project sponsor), Nick Clausi (vice president of Research & Engineering), Don Bartusiak (chief engineer, Process Control), Brad Houk (project manager, Open Process Automation) and industry influencer, Tim Crawford will discuss ExxonMobil’s internal R&D program and work with the Open Process Automation Forum to address a long-standing challenge with industrial control systems. The systems enable refineries and petrochemical plants to automate operational processes to maintain safe, stable and efficient operation. Traditionally, they have comprised proprietary closed systems, and manufacturers have been locked into single-vendor solutions, limiting their flexibility and ability to adopt new innovations from different vendors. During the conversation, ExxonMobil leaders will discuss how they focus on data and open standards to help drive a new era of innovation and growth. They will also discuss the company’s collaboration with Intel and the benefits of using open industry standards-based technologies that have been a major driver in helping other industries transition from closed proprietary systems. WHAT: Intel Customer Spotlight Series: ExxonMobil WHEN: Thursday, Dec. 12, 2019, at 9:15 am PT FORMAT: 25-minute discussion with ExxonMobil executives followed by a 15-minute Q&A session for press and analysts.
