Vendor innovation – New Technologies in practiceNNE
Technologies by themselves rarely provide a business advantage in a manufacturing setting. Manufacturing is inherently complex and therefore the use of technology typically is very complicated and risky. This is even more evident in a regulated environment where introduction of new technologies require extensive testing and robustness. That is why when evaluation new technological advances the benefits have to be evaluated based on a sound technology architecture that is rooted in the business drivers. With that in mind we can take a look at some very interesting innovations and technologies that with the right implementation can provide substantial business value.
Now we have to challenge our industry to take the leap to see if we can move the productivity, quality and flexibility needle.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

smell, granularity, microbiological
properties…) are difficult or impossible to
measure on-line
– Require laboratory tests or human panels
• Expensive and time-consuming (delay)
• Potential solution: virtual sensors
13
14. VIRTUAL SENSORS: DEFINITION
Soft Sensor = Virtual Sensor = a computer model that computes
estimates of hard to measure attributes from easy to measure attributes
The computer model is created by experts based on scientific
knowledge, or by algorithms learning the relationship from data
15. VIRTUAL SENSORS: OUR OFFER
• Soft sensor development =
creation of the computer model
• Soft sensor integration in the
machine or production process
• Soft sensor monitoring and
maintenance
• Benefit from our own tool suite
for soft sensor development,

“YASENSE”
15
17. VIRTUAL SENSOR FOR PAPER
MOISTURE: PROBLEM STATEMENT
• Problem statement:
– Paper moisture is one of most important product
quality characteristics
– But the on-line physical sensor is sometimes not
reliable…
– …and the off-line lab measurement is too slow
and too expensive
17
18. 18
VIRTUAL SENSORS FOR PAPER
MOISTURE: GOAL
Project Goal
Replace the physical
moisture sensor in the first
5 to 10 minutes after
paper break in order to
reduce the time that off-
quality paper is produced
19. 19
VIRTUAL SENSORS FOR PAPER
MOISTURE: SOLUTION
• Soft sensor predicts output of physical sensor based on
upstream measurements

• Model learning:
– Historical data from PI system and Product Quality database over 3
months
• Model:
– Pre-processes the inputs to be more robust to exceptional values
– Non-linear regression
– Post-processing to adapt to long term variations in the process
– Watch-dog signal to indicate reliability of predictions
• Implementation of run-time: Soft Sensor runs on a PC
– Reads and writes to SCADA/DCS using OPC
19
21. 21
VIRTUAL SENSOR FOR PAPER
MOISTURE: RESULT AFTER BREAK
evidence that physical sensor gives wrong actual measurement
22. VIRTUAL SENSORS
Advantages of virtual sensors

29. PROCESS CONTROL IN FOOD
Why is process control not automated more in the food
industry?
– Raw material (process input) are products of nature and have a lot of
variation in properties like moisture, hardness, chemical content,…that
influence the ideal process control settings
– Many food companies produce many products with the same installation
– The produced products have important product characteristics to keep
under control, but that are hard to measure online
