Top articles in Plant Engineering this week covered topics including toxic air pollution, where engineering jobs are located and industrial laser scanning.

1. Fenceline monitoring now required for toxic air pollution rules

Advanced early detection enabled by Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) enhances emissions monitoring by ensuring real-time data accuracy and quick issue resolution, improving environmental compliance and operational efficiency.

2. Here are the top five states for engineering jobs

Finding an engineering job is all about location. These five states have the most opportunities for engineers.

3. Practical planning tips for high-density industrial laser scanning

Laser scanning and 3D modeling technologies continue to transform engineering and design capabilities, resulting in highly accurate data captures of existing facilities and constructible designs for an integrated view of the design/build process.

4. The ways a digital transformation unexpectedly creates extra work

For plant manufacturers, digital transformation is a way to streamline processes, move away from paper-based systems and boost productivity. But for many, it unnecessarily creates more work.

5. How automation will make a big impact on manufacturing plants

Automation is the wave of the future for many manufacturers. Our panel dives deeply to assess how plants can prepare for the many ways in which automation will impact production lines.
