Emerson announced it has completed the acquisition of the Progea Group, a provider of industrial internet of things (IIoT), plant analytics, human machine interface (HMI) and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) technologies. Progea Group is headquartered in Modena, Italy, with approximately 55 employees.
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 and enable customers to streamline comprehensive machine and plant control systems to a single partner. This acquisition will help bridge a critical customer technology gap by helping to lower total cost of ownership and reduce the barriers that come with working across multiple vendors to drive more successful digital transformation and integration.
