Meetup #3 - Cyber-physical view of the Internet of EverythingFrancesco Rago
The Internet of Everything (IoE) is built on the connections among people, processes, data, and internet of things. However, it is not about these four dimensions in isolation. Each amplifies the capabilities of the other three. It is in the intersection of all of these elements that the true power of Internet of Everything is realized.
We will examine the Cyber-physical view to explore Specification, Hybrid and Heterogeneous Models, Conceptual frameworks, Multiform Time, and much more.
It was scientifically established in the 1970s that we are stressing the planet beyond the point where it can naturally recover. Today we are using about 50% more natural resources than can be extracted sustainably. The long history of industrialisation and population growth is now seeing climate change, extreme weather, and perhaps it is human overpopulation and terraforming that is now giving way to pandemics as we increasingly challenge and stress ecosystems.
Stressed systems react and fail in a variety of ways, and there is increasing evidence that CV-19 might just be the surprising product of human abuse of nature. What we can be certain of is that without action we will see more unpleasant and unwelcome surprises.
The Green Agenda is our biggest hope, but much of it is driven by emotion rather than deep thought, evidence, and scientific analysis. For example; recycling is mostly a fallacy and we need to think again! In reality Industry 4.0 is the first major program vested in the basics of long term sustainability.
In this presentation we give a brief overview of what I4.0 brings to the party by a focus on one major sector that is ripe for transformation. A much broader and wider treatment has been presented at previous events and numerous additional, associative, and supportive slide sets in this series are available on the web site.
Industry 4.0 promises great increase in productivity and profitability. This presentation covers the basics of this new manufacturing approach and it separates facts from fiction.
Industry 4.0 has widespread application across Industries (Manufacturing, Logistics, Mobility etc.). In case of manufacturing and processing industries Industry 4.0 means Smart Manufacturing using IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things or simply Industrial IoT) in a connected smart factory.
It enables an Organization to make smart data-driven decisions based on Big Data, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. Industry 4.0 IIoT has several benefits such as Resource Optimization, Cost Reduction, Automation, Predictive Maintenance and Prescriptive Analytics and Control etc.
IOT is going to be very big and the fitness, health club and gym industry are no exception. To lead the adoption of IOT requires thoughtful strategy and a clear road map for implementation.
Design for Manufacturing and Assembly becomes popular in construction industry. The presentation is about how to use BIM and Digital Construction technology to enable DfMA under process engineering management.

Real-time Data, Site wide Digital Twin, and Proprietary Analytics Cuts into P...Yokogawa1
Energy is one of the largest costs for process facilities. While operators can save significant money with minimal impact to production, they often lack structured and automated digital technologies to identify and sustain performance improvements. The situation is further exacerbated by the lack of inconsistent data and inaccurate tools. This presentation will showcase how a process facility combines real-time data, site-wide digital twin, and proprietary analytics in a digital energy management solution to deliver up to 15% sustainable reduction in facility energy costs and carbon footprint. Performance gaps are automatically identified and broken down using a best technology benchmark to highlight improvement areas in real-time. Daily facility energy improvement opportunity lists are provided for operators to maximize value and track the efficacy of planned capital projects with accurate projections so operators can make faster informed decisions for capital allocation throughout the implementation cycle.
[Oil & Gas White Paper] Optimizing Pipeline Energy ConsumptionSchneider Electric
Effective energy management can benefit the hydrocarbon pipeline operator. Energy consumption costs – the leading expense for most operators – are rising continuously; however, the commitments needed on the part of the operator often impede implementation of energy-saving practices.
Key to effective energy management is the ability to quantify energy consumption accurately at any specific time and its cost and that of drag reducing agent (DR) use. Operators committed to energy management can implement a real-time, system-wide power optimization solution that evaluates the resource efficiency of a steady-state model of the pipeline. This solution will also perform costing runs of alternative configurations, formulated for the next energy cost rate or other ‘what if’ scenarios, in order to find the most energy-efficient alternative that maintains operational safety and integrity. Implementing these alternatives, the operator can save one percent to five percent of energy costs and reduce carbon emissions.
This advanced information management technology makes these costing considerations so practical they can become a routine, real-time operations process. Putting available information to work with this solution can make power optimization extremely realistic and highly rewarding for the company while supporting overall operational security, safety and environmental stewardship.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

Management summary
The Engineering & Construction industry is under increasing pressure from the clients
leading to significant transfer of scope and risk coupled with intense cost pressure
In response, the E&C players have thus far adopted the traditional measures e.g. M&A to
expand scope and standardization to better control costs.
However, significantly more effort is required to control cost and scope and ensure timely
execution to plan
Digitization is a crucial approach which could aid E&C players achieve these objectives and its
benefits are widely recognized
However, E&C industry is a laggard when it comes to adopting and deploying digitization
In this paper we outline how a holistic and integrated Digital landscape unifies both the Off-site
and on-site activities enabling true seamless collaboration and illustrate proven use cases which
could aid E&C players in their Digital journey

Increasing workplace safety using AI
> Collect and connect data related to onsite work from over
4000 facilities to improve safety and productivity
> Drones and cameras will act as AI platform for analysis and
visualization and assess rapidly changing conditions in
real-time to e.g. instruct workers
> Instead of shutting down facilities for inspections the usage
of drones can limit facility shutdown time and
additionally:
> reduce employee risk
> access hard-to-reach locations
> increase inspection accuracy
Inspection of Gas terminal flare stacks
Monitoring and real-time tracking of site activities
> Usage of pipeline integrity management tool and data
science to increase efficiency and enhance speed of
construction projects
> Replace traditional paper plans using wearables and IoT
> Virtual Reality to simulate and practice workers behavior
in difficult situations/tasks in order to reduce risk and
increase work-place safety
3D modeling of Oil & Gas plants
> BMI enables to digitally model 150 gas field and 90 oil
field facilities/plants and therefore increase efficiency
and safe costs
> Airscope was hired to provide a 3D digital print of the
plant using drones
> combined usage of 3D laser scanning with 3D
photogrammetry
