DeltaV is the creation of Emerson Process Management's technological innovators, who worked in an off-site "out-of-the-box" think tank to build an automation system that could integrate and leverage today's digital world and cutting-edge technological innovations to make a value step-change in the process industries.

The name DeltaV is derived from the engineering equation for acceleration: dv/dt, the change in velocity over the change in time. The DeltaV system makes planning, engineering, installing, commissioning, training, operating, and maintaining your process EASY, which accelerates your success in improving your plant performance.
