Whether you’re deepening your expertise or staying current on evolving best practices, each article is designed to be practical, relevant, and applicable to your work.
This Month in Industry Insights
Theme: Innovation
Innovation has always been central to what we do at Equity, striving both to contribute and adapt to innovation happening across the industry. The 2026 API Summit gave our team a chance to showcase how we’re working to innovate for our clients and in the codes and standards whose development we’re involved in. It was as always also a wonderful opportunity to connect with and learn from industry colleagues.
As well as a recap of Equity’s experience at the event, this month’s Industry Insights discusses the new Nelson curves in the forthcoming edition of API 941, Equity Software’s new PlantManager SAGE subscription structure, and how controls and instrumentation (and control loops specifically) are key to maximizing facility safety and profitability.
