What does it all mean?
We love our Historian data
New Apps are making it EXCITING & empower users
Access to data outside of the process control network; SECURELY.
Collect data from Stranded Assets
Consolidate information from multiple data sources on the
same page
Minimally engineered data - reduces skill-set to acquire and
use the data + Real analytics – not just trends.
Expose hidden opportunities & Enhance decision-making
with personalized & relevant information everywhere
Empower people to become active participants in real-time work
streams
Enables Swarming concepts for multiple people to engage
Apps that Predict

recognition
Profile Equipment based on historical data
Monitors behavior relative to “normal” in real-time
Alerts and early warning when the operation differs
from the historical norm based on pattern recognition.
Advanced analysis capabilities including problem
identification and Root cause analysis
Some leadership is not ready and skeptical
Most fear they don’t have the infrastructure in
place - many will require major upgrades or
overhauls.
More than 1/3 have no plans to develop an IoT
strategy for processes or products.
Most don’t have a BYOD policy.
Some biggest challenges
Identifying opportunities w/real benefits from IoT (44%)
Budget/resources to develop or expand to IoT (37%)
Incorporating smart devices/embedded intelligence (37%)
Adapting existing technologies (36%).
IT and OT not collaborative enough for IIoT
“Effective use of the IoT requires more than just technology: operations technology (OT) staff
need to collaborate with IT staff. Yet most OT and IT departments don’t currently get along”
Who can say “our IT
and OT departments
are on the same page
and ready to work on
an IoT project
together?”
Known technology and CI failures
60% of process improvement initiatives fail to achieve
desired results.
50% of technology projects are failing (IIoT or otherwise)
Financial impact? Yes
Demoralization of employees? Yes
“I’ve been on dozens of task teams in my career, and I’ve
never actually seen one that produced results.”

Will IoT make that better or worse…
The skeptical manufacturing executives
(relative to technology spend)
“Where have I heard this before”
“We have an idea for a new
IoT project - its gonna be
great”
Been there – done that, no thank you!

Notes de l'éditeur
These concepts are associated with a new industrial revolution; i.e. the 4th Industrial Revolution.
What ever term is used (e.g. IoT, IIoT, Industrie 4.0, Smart Manufacturing, Big Data, etc.) they are all “watch words” for the march of progress in respect to exploiting technology.
For someone who has been active in manufacturing for almost 40 years (i.e. coming of age at the advent of the 3rd revolution), this feels to me like a natural evolution (or embrace of technology) for the purpose of improving productivity.
While there are occasional “breakthroughs” giving significant short term gains, the dynamics are more reminiscent of an army marching on a long journey.
When we look at it through the continuum of time, I think that we can sense progress, and it portends a realness.
To those unprepared or not paying attention, the end result is the same.
PROFINET (an acronym for Process Field Net) is an industry technical standard for data communication over Industrial Ethernet did a good job explaining the difference between IoT, IIoT and some other industry initiatives (e.g. Industrie 4.)
IoT (on left):
Probably what gets the most coverage in media
In addition to people using the Internet there are relatively cheap connected (typically consumer) devices and machines that promote new application of technology
Industrie 4.0 (on right):
Is about optimization of the production process under the influence of the internet
These are broad industry initiatives sponsored by states (e.g. Industrie 4.0 by the German government) or organizations (e.g. Smart Manufacturing Leadership Coalition – SMLC).
IIoT (in the middle):
Is at the intersection as it relates to industry / manufacturing
Connected industrial devices that take on new challenges to promote efficiencies in industry
I’m focusing today on IIoT; i.e. the “Industrial” Internet of Things
The picture represents the fundamentals of the IoT thinking…. Information originates at the lower part, needs to get messaged up through some communication medium, then needs to get stored somewhere, and then needs some apps to make the information useful. Validation with an audit.
While this model is represented differently, its pretty much the same at the IoT model.
Inside of each platform there is a core set of technology capabilities that enable the systems, applications, and services we spoke about earlier.
Take for example the Digital Services Platform where we connect and manage device lifecycle management, extracting, collecting, and storing the data required to enable analytics and machine learning, and finally the ability to act –wether through human intervention, managed services or application services.
If you observe the picture on the right, someone would probably say that IoT had arrived many years ago. We’ve been connecting things for years, storing and analyzing it in the industrial market place.
We’ve seen this – its not really new. This type if architecture is common since the middle 90’s. It’s evolving over time but not necessarily revolutionary.
But this picture represents an idea that goes beyond out typical industrial solution mind-set.
From Automation.Com, May 25, 2016 – Is IIoT Security a Showstopper? 4 Move-Forward Tips from Industry Experts
Industry Experts Offer 4 IIoT Security Recommendations
While manufacturers should remain vigilant about security in building an IIoT strategy, it should not prevent moving forward. Four solution providers who will exhibit at Industrial Automation North America 2016 offered these recommendations:
Recommendation #1—Don’t assume cloud means Internet, Intranet works too
“IIoT doesn’t need to be on the Internet. It can also be run on an Intranet. In fact, you can use both on-premise and publicly accessible clouds,” said Sloan Zupan, senior product manager, Mitsubishi Electric Automation, Inc. “To manage risk, manufacturers should determine the sensitivity level of the information to be shared, who needs access in the organization and then choose the best technology.”
Recommendation #2—Modernize your security technology
“Although security is a critical issue, it should not prevent a manufacturer from taking advantage of IIoT. A modern security framework requires a holistic defense-in-depth approach that addresses both internal and external threats to minimize vulnerabilities when applied appropriately,” said Beth Parkinson, market development director, The Connected Enterprise, Rockwell Automation. “Manufacturers need to assess current security processes and develop an evolution plan to use modern technology that offers layers and depth of security focusing on physical, network, computer, application and device security.”
Recommendation #3—Focus on operational requirements, not IT policy
“Operations and IT need to eliminate barriers and work together to create the right security. Although IT provides security, the person in charge of manufacturing operations provides an equally important perspective,” said John Kowal, director, business development, B&R Industrial Automation Corporation. “If operations describes a need, IT needs to consider the business imperative. What the operations team requires must be secured to move the business forward. IT does need to address security threats as they continue to evolve.”
Recommendation #4—Break down who needs access to what
“Manufacturers need to define basic rules about the access level for consumers of data,” said Greg Giles, executive director of MES, Red Viking. “Within that framework, security needs to be assessed against the potential threat presented by the data. Reasonable mitigation strategies should be implemented based upon the specifics. An application may require a basic web front-end encrypted with SSL, or could require a more stringent user identification system. For more sophisticated needs, servers may be configured in a manner which strikes an appropriate balance between security and ease of access, but, these security decisions start with defining needs.”
As nice as it might be, with the diverse industrial and manufacturing landscape, we can’t really apply one single approach to the idea of leveraging the internet. IIoT thinking has to be rationalized relative to the industry type and business objectives.
After the rollout everyone leaves and I have no support. If we don’t get the right people trained, we can’t be successful. The “How” is usually not there. IT often does ½ the job b/c they don’t have the budget needed to do the whole thing.
Silo’s - everyone makes their careers off a particular initiative.
Yes, I can install some cool technology that amazes everyone and gets some improvement
Yes, I can get some efficiency improvements.
No – I can’t typically sustain those if they involve how People need to work….
Therefore, you need some type of program to facilitate that type of change.
Best in class organizations are having to consider People Effectiveness in addition to the technology if they are looking for long-term results. Using a model or blueprint like the one above helps organizations to achieve such results.
