此次收购是艾默生聚焦投资其具有市场增长潜力业务的又一举措；

为艾默生普适测量（Pervasive Sensing?）策略产品线扩充了非侵入式无线腐蚀监控技术。

ST. LOUIS, October 3, 2016 – Emerson (NYSE: EMR) today announced it has agreed to acquire UK-based Permasense Limited, a leading provider of non-intrusive corrosion monitoring technologies for the offshore and onshore oil production, refining, chemical, power, pipelines, metals and mining and other industries. Permasense? monitoring systems use unique sensor technology, wireless data delivery and advanced analytics to continuously monitor for metal loss from corrosion or erosion in pipes, pipelines or vessels, and reliably deliver high-integrity data from even the harshest environments.

圣路易斯（2016年10月3日）-Emerson （纽约证券交易代码：EMR）今日宣布收购总部位于英国的Permasense 有限公司，该公司是全球领先的非侵入式腐蚀监控技术提供商，其产品主要应用于陆上及海上石油生产、炼油、化工、电力、管道、金属与矿业以及其他行业。Permasense? 监控系统采用独特的传感器技术、无线数据传输技术以及先进分析技术，用于持续监控管道、管线或容器中由于腐蚀或侵蚀而造成的金属损失，并可靠地提供高完整性数据。即使在最为严苛的工况下，亦是如此。

The acquisition represents another step forward in Emerson’s strategy to invest in its core business platforms and expand in markets that hold significant long-term growth opportunity.

此次收购是艾默生聚焦投资其具有显著长期业务增长机会的核心业务平台以及扩展市场的又一举措。

“Corrosion and erosion can significantly impact the safe and reliable operation of our industrial customers’ infrastructure, which can have dire consequences. Wireless non-intrusive corrosion monitoring is a transformational shift that helps customers immediately understand the health and integrity of their infrastructure in real-time and enable them to fully optimize their operations while maximizing safety,” said Mike Train, president, Emerson Automation Solutions. “For example, with the increasing complexity of the types of crude oil coming into a refinery, corrosion is becoming a significant issue in the uptime and profitability of a refinery.  Now refinery infrastructure can be monitored and controlled using this non-intrusive technology.”

“腐蚀和侵蚀会对我们工业用户的生产设施的安全性和可靠运营造成严重影响，甚至产生更为严重的后果。无线非侵入式腐蚀监控为我们提供了一种革新的方式，以帮助用户实时、及时地了解其生产设施运营情况以及完整性，并确保用户在最大程度提高运营安全性的同时，可以全面优化其运营绩效。”艾默生自动化解决方案总裁Mike Train 表示，“例如，随着流入精炼厂的各种原油的复杂性不断提高，腐蚀也逐渐成为影响精炼厂正常运行时间和利润率的关键因素。现在，凭借这项非侵入式技术，可以对精炼设施提供监测和控制。”

The Permasense product line will become part of Emerson’s Rosemount? portfolio of measurement and analytical technologies. Permasense technologies complement Emerson’s Roxar? intrusive corrosion monitoring and non-intrusive sand management systems and strengthen the company’s Pervasive Sensing applications that provide customers a more complete view of their operations and facilities. With Permasense and Roxar technologies in its portfolio, Emerson will be the largest provider of integrity and corrosion management solutions in the marketplace.

Permasense 的产品线将扩充作为艾默生罗斯蒙特测量及分析技术产品系列的一部分。Permasense技术有效地补充了艾默生现有的Roxar? 非侵入式腐蚀监测和非侵入式砂石管理系统，并进一步增强了艾默生在普适测量应用方面的能力，从而让客户能够更为全面地了解其运营及设施状况。通过Permasense 和 Roxar 技术的有效结合，Emerson将成为市场上最大的一体化和腐蚀管理解决方案提供商。

Lal Karsanbhai, group vice president, measurement and analytical technologies, Emerson Automation Solutions, added, “The addition of patented Permasense technologies along with our existing Roxar technologies enables Emerson to provide customers with a more complete corrosion monitoring solution and a clearer picture into the performance of their infrastructure based on what they’re demanding of it and the strategies needed to optimize production.”

艾默生自动化解决方案测量和分析技术全球副总裁Lal Karsanbhai补充表示：“通过在我们现有的Roxar技术中增加这一项专利型Permasense技术，Emerson将能够根据客户需要以及其生产优化所需策略，为客户提供更全面的腐蚀监控解决方案并帮助客户更加清晰的了解其设施性能。”

Central to Permasense corrosion monitoring systems are sensors that employ proven ultrasonic wall thickness measurement principles. The sensors are battery powered and communicate wirelessly, which minimizes the cost of installation and enables use in remote areas and on a large scale. The sensors are also designed so they can be deployed in hazardous areas.

Permasense腐蚀监测系统的核心是基于经实践验证的超声波壁厚测量原理的传感器。这些传感器采用电池供电并可进行无线通讯，可以最大程度降低安装成本并可以在远程位置进行大批量应用。这些传感器也同样设计适用于危险区域。
