Onica by Rackspace Technology, the Amazon Web Services (AWS) focused business group of Rackspace Technology® announced its deployment relationship with AWS on Emissions Monitoring and Surveillance (EMS). EMS is a new solution to help facility engineers, operations general managers, and environmental teams see direct measurements of emissions (initially methane) so they can quickly act (maintain, operate, design), driving down per-unit-volume carbon intensity (kgCO2e/bbl), reducing equipment failures and safety incidents, retaining product volume, and curtailing environmental impacts through Leak Detection and Repair. How EMS works: Adds new direct observations where needed (including a selection of pre-integrated 3rd party options for satellite, airplane, unmanned aerial vehicle, stationary continuous monitoring systems, and internet of things sensors).

Combines those and existing sensors and supervisory control and data acquisition systems to provide a continuous, comprehensive view of emissions reality. Integrates that emissions data with disparate industrial data sources within a facility or enterprise, connecting localized operational technology data, plant technical data and business information systems in a single repository so customers can optimize emissions alongside production and uptime. Having this data all together lets customers analyze it faster and get it into the applications and workflows where it is most needed.

This enables the repairs and optimizations needed to meet methane emission reduction goals and reduce overall carbon intensity.
