▶ Internet of Things (IoT) is enabling many forms of non-Industrial Edge Computing1
▪ Providing
▪ Broad Opportunities for many New Types of Edge Devices
▪ Massive volumes of Data for Analysis and Notification
▪ Driving major improvements in
▪ Communication Infrastructure (Think 5G)
▪ Edge Devices (Think Wearables)
▪ Data Management and Analysis (Think Big Data, Natural Language Processing (NLP), and Artificial Intelligence (AI))
▪ Virtualization of Complete Ecosystems enabling Citizen Developers2 in Centers of Excellence (Continuous Improvement)
▶ IoT Vendors see IIoT as a High Margin Improvement Opportunity
▪ Historical Industrial Vendors are Responding to the increased Competition
Result
▶ Companies that are leveraging these opportunities are Thriving .
Those that are not are challenged to survive
▶ These significant improvements come with an Unexpected challenge: Organizational Cultural Change
1 Gartner defines edge computing as solutions that facilitate data processing at or near the source of data generation. For example, in the context of the Internet of
Things (IoT), the sources of data generation are usually things with sensors or embedded devices.

Setting the Stage for Cultural Change
What is it about IIoT functionality that Changes the Cultural Dynamics?
▶ Citizen Developers implement IIoT Devices using Low-Code or No-Code Techniques
▪ Like PC’s Plug’n Play, IIoT Devices are Plug’n Produce1
Enables Businesspeople (NOT IT People) to Deploy them in an IT Approved Ecosystem
▪ Generates Immediate Value from the Generated Data and Notifications
▶ IIoT Devices are NOT Process Control Devices!
▪ If they were Process Control Devices, they would need to meet Process Control Requirements
▶ IIoT Information supplements other Business and Process Control Information to
▪ Drive Improved Analytics
▪ Push Notifications to the Appropriate People how and when they want it
Result
▶ Improved Corporate Agility, ESG2 Compliance, and Profitability—via Motivated Employees!

Why does IT need to Empower the Citizen Developers?
Business is Changing Faster than Traditional IT Processes can Respond
▶ Traditional Waterfall Project Implementations take months or years to implement
▶ Agile Project Management Techniques divert Businesspeople from their daily activities
to educate IT People
▶ Agile, Virtual Centers of Business Excellence (CoEs) enables
▪ IT to set the Low- and No-Code Stage for Citizen Developers to
Continuously Test, Verify, and Adapt to Changing Needs/Requirements
▪ IT Benefits from the Reduced IT Backlog and Increased Business Satisfaction
▪ Business Benefits from Improved Employee Satisfaction and Increased Profitability
▶ Please NOTE
▪ What To Do is NOT New
▪ Who Does It with What Tools results in Large Reduction in Number of Hand-Offs
Producing Faster and More Accurate Results

Transformation Benefits of Citizen Development
For Individuals
"That's the real power I think of citizen
developer
It puts the power of understanding the
customer’s pain point in the hands of
the individual that’s probably most
close or closest to the customer"

Use Case: Equipment Monitoring and Optimization (M+O)
Setting the Stage for NAMUR Example
▶ NAMUR1 actively involved in Industry 4.02 to conceptualize “rapid change to technology, industries, and
societal patterns and processes … due to increasing interconnectivity and smart automation”.
▶ NAMUR NE107, Self-Monitoring and Diagnosis of Field Devices,
resulted in field devices containing self-diagnostic functionality
▪ 40+ Million Existing Devices can report status changes over the device’s second communications channel
—independent of the control system to which the device is connected.
▪ Utilizing this independent channel significantly increases the quality and quantity of
diagnostic and device health data available to equipment reliability monitoring systems
▪ Thereby improving device availability and accuracy while providing data for M+O Analysis

Use Case: Equipment Monitoring and Optimization (M+O)
NAMUR Open Architecture (NOA) 1
▶ Core Process Control (CPC) executes control functions from sensors to actors, collects information, and efficiently provides
aggregated information
CPC is the most isolated and secure domain and requires continuous monitoring for security and cybersecurity challenges.
1. Adapted from NAMUR Open Architecture (NOA) ARC Orlando Forum 2017.pdf
▶ Plant Specific M+O
▪ Advanced Analytics, isolated from general business systems
▪ IIoT Devices Low-Cost Multi-Sensors exist in Plant Specific M+O
domain and IoT devices exist in the general business domain or
the Central M+O
▶ Central M+O CoE organized by discipline for
▪ Fleet Optimization of field devices and major process equipment
▪ Innovation Center for M+O , e.g. Value Chain Simulation or
Reliability Enhancement Center Functionality
12. 12
Use Case: Equipment Monitoring and Optimization (M+O)
Core Process Control (CPC) Security
▶ Cybersecurity is particularly challenging for CPC
▪ CPC Failure can mean loss of life, personal health, damage to the environment, …
▪ Other Failures have financial or image consequences
▶ To ensure CPC Communication Security
▪ Requests for information from the CPC are
verified by a CPC specific verification process
outside the industrial control domain before
being sent to the CPC
▪ Responses to each request are sent through a
unidirectional channel
indicated by diodes ( ) in the Figure
▶ To ensure CPC Integrity
▪ Configurations and Logical Integrity of all
Components within the CPC need to be
periodically verified

Going Forward1
Design for Major Organizational Cultural Change
▶ Fundamental Change in the way we work being Driven By
▪ IoT, IIoT, Industry 4.0, virtualization, NoSQL, CoEs, aka the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR)
▪ Includes mental images of robots,
4IR is a human endeavor that requires a new mix of workforce skills and capabilities
▶ McKinsey and World Economic Forum (WEF) gathered insights from the Global Lighthouse Network2
Lighthouse sites see 4IR as a journey that needs people for cognitive skills, creativity, and other very “human”
qualities – things that simply have no AI equivalents
Key Tactics
▪ Empowering frontline workers to innovate
▪ Proactively building workers’ capabilities
▪ Making changes to their organizational structure
▪ Implementing new ways of working
▪ Thoughtfully deploying automation and related technologies
