Industrial Transformation (IX) is happening all around us. And COVID-19 is accelerating it. Companies are asking, “What is the new normal and how do we operate in it?” This has led companies to revisit what it means to be Operationally Excellent. And how does this fit in with the increasing trends toward Remote Operations, the Connected Workforce, the use of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) and the possibility of Autonomous Operations (AO). Is AO achievable or still a “Bridge Too Far?” What has to happen to make it a reality? This presentation will explore what is OE 4.0, a new definition, drivers and challenges, the need for an integrated OE Execution system and characteristics of the Autonomous Plant.

Here, we will show you about what is edge computing with its components; involving with different types of edge computing and its pros and cons with ease. This is unique content over the internet; after reading this content, you will fully understand about What is Edge Computing without getting any obstacle.
IIoT is often presented as a revolution that is changing the face of industry in a profound manner. In reality, it is an evolution that has its origins in technologies and functionalities developed by visionary automation suppliers more than 15 years ago. As the necessary global standards mature, it may well take another 15 years to realise the full potential of IIoT. Over this period of time the changes to the industry will be far reaching. The good news is that end users and machine builders can now leverage their existing investments in technology and people while taking advantage of available new IIoT technologies.
Introducing IIoT solutions using a “wrap & re-use” approach, rather than a “rip & replace” approach will enable greater business control. In addition, this measured approach will drive the evolution towards a smart manufacturing enterprise that is more efficient, safer, and sustainable. The emergence of the IIoT megatrend has created both hope and confusion among stakeholders responsible for operating industrial plants. Much of the early hype was focused on the impact of technological advancements on existing automation platforms.

Basic rules of thumbs for best practice.
An Economic X-ray of Digital TransformationYokogawa1
Recent dynamic market changes and uncertain business environments have placed a sharp focus on digital transformation (DX). DX initiatives must clearly align with business strategies and have a clear vision of where, and how, they add value in terms of enhanced profitability, capital efficiency and license to operate. Focusing on enhanced profitability, we start with a simple refresh of the “Profit & Loss” or income statement and demonstrate how it is impacted by DX initiatives, thereby demonstrating how money is made and lost. These general concepts are reinforced with several real-life examples across the upstream, refining and bulk chemical sectors. Through this exercise, conclusions are drawn on where DX has the greatest immediate impact.

Several examples will be given that were used at Shell’s Geismar facility to drive superior efficiency and productivity savings.
Open Process Automation: Status of the O-PAS™ Standard, Conformance Certifica...Yokogawa1
Today, end users in the energy and chemical industries must work with and integrate multiple proprietary systems in almost every process plant or facility. These systems include manufacturing execution systems (MES), distributed control systems (DCS), human-machine interfaces (HMI), programmable logic controllers (PLC) and inputs/outputs (I/O). These multiple proprietary systems, and the integration thereof, result in elevated capital costs on new projects and high total cost of ownership through the asset lifecycle, especially in the operation and maintenance of such systems. The Open Process Automation™ Forum (OPAF) is an international forum of end users, system integrators, suppliers, academia, and standards organizations who are working together to develop the specifications for open process control systems. OPAF’s goal is to enable more open and modular systems that supports integration of best-in-class components. This architecture will provide both configuration and application portability across components from different suppliers, thereby reducing system capital cost and total cost of ownership. The vision is a standards-based, open, secure and interoperable process control architecture that reduces the cost of control system upgrades and replacements, as well as removes barriers to technology insertion, with adaptable cybersecurity designed in. This keynote presentation will outline the Open Process Automation initiative, standard and status of industry prototyping, as well as share evidence of commercialization.
The Value-driven Approach to Digitalizing Assets and their Supply ChainsYokogawa1
Facilities must pursue the agile optimization of feedstocks and other inputs with products and operations to reflect market demand and prices. This is how the demand-pull business model is achieved and a measurable change in profitability delivered. This presentation will showcase why a mindset shift to value chain optimization is needed, as well as the deliberate approach needed to digitally transform value chain optimization activities. The value chain digital twin combining traditional solutions and AI will be profiled, along with the first steps that need to be taken, now.
The Role And Evolution Of Advanced Analytics In The Process IndustriesYokogawa1
To improve a plant’s operation, it is important to understand it’s potential for improvement so that the right actions can be taken. Plant data and advanced analytics are the keys to maximizing plant performance. This keynote presentation will highlight the role of advanced analytics and its evolution in the years to come.”
The Digital Twin For Production OptimizationYokogawa1
Digitalization is fundamental to the development of Repsol’s strategy for the future. To meet emerging challenges, the business units have developed an ambitious program comprising multiple projects. Within Repsol’s Industrial Business, development of a refinery digital twin leads the digitalization program. The digital twin allows the business to maximize production while optimizing energy consumption. This session will explore the digital twin project objectives to improve the accuracy and scope of the Refinery LP model that the Programming and Planning departments use to make decisions regarding crude feedstock purchasing and refinery unit operations. It will also report on the context of the business goals achieved, the technology and architecture developed, and the connectivity deployed to communicate results. It will conclude with a description of how enhancements to existing technology work with new technologies to improve value.
Multi-Site Optimization To Drive Value Creation In ChevronYokogawa1
The vision should be one of an asset, or portfolio of assets, that exists in the context of, and is synchronized with, its supply chains and surrounding business environment. The asset(s) together with its supply chain should continuously respond in unison to market signals, disturbances, and optimize holistically. Since the early 1980s Chevron has developed and continued to enhance its proprietary linear programming (LP) technology, Petro, to select the most profitable raw materials, evaluate product options, optimize refinery processes, and promote efficient capital investments across its global refining network. Key to this has been the use of Petro, with its highly efficient multi-location modeling methodology, to optimize raw materials and product supplies between refinery sites. This presentation will showcase how Chevron drives transformational value through multi-site optimization, and how development of associated people and business processes have accompanied evolution of the technology.
Keeping PACE with Advanced Process ControlYokogawa1
The pace was set to start APC sustainability, the software was chosen and the initial implementation was validated. This presentation will focus on how the company is approaching the upgrades, the training of new engineers, the benefits and results from it and the next steps to improve controls and stakeholders reliability.
Yokogawa’s DX and Smart Manufacturing Vision for Building our FutureYokogawa1
DX is the novel use of digital technology to accelerate companies' business strategies and business goals, not technology for technology’s sake. Digitalization and digital transformation involve business and workflow changes, adjustment of enterprise operations and business transformation. But to decide what digital applications and capabilities are required, business value drivers and the various digital challenges that contribute to operational excellence must be mapped out. Once these are known and understood, a holistic approach can be undertaken to drive triple bottom line performance in terms of people, planet and profit. Partners who have domain knowledge and best practices in the industry, are one of our key success factors. This keynote presentation will outline Yokogawa's vision for digital transformation of the energy and chemical industry to achieve their smart manufacturing goals. In doing so demonstrating Yokogawa's commitment to achieving net-zero emissions, making a transition to a circular economy, and ensuring the well-being of all.
Business Model Disruption - The Step-wise Transition to Remote OperationsYokogawa1
Many assets have reached the “point of diminishing returns” in their pursuit of optimization benefits using conventional business models. To reach the next horizon of value, these assets must undergo digital process re-engineering, digital re-organization and digital business transformation. In many cases, the entire operations management system needs to be re-written and re-implemented. The first step in transitioning to a new operating model involves defining the end-state and achieving a step-wise approach toward it. That end state might be a centralized optimization center, remote integrated operations center, minimal manning facility, or a fully automated facility. The internal rate of return (IRR) associated with the transition to remote operations depends on the extent to which operating cost savings can be traded for capital investment. Through various case studies, this session will explore the key considerations in making a successful transition and the important factors driving IRR variability and operational risk.
A New Digital Maintenance Platform in a Large Petrochemical Facility to Ident...Yokogawa1
Every day, asset management teams must reliably deliver the highest predictable availability at the lowest cost. The focus should be on providing information and understanding directly to decision makers–human or machine–in a way that drives the business as a whole to make improvements. Braskem operates a very large petrochemical complex in Camacari, Bahia, Brazil that produces ethylene, polyethylene and PVC, and other chemicals. The site has recently embarked on a project to implement a digital maintenance platform to deliver enhanced situational awareness and decision support. The presentation will showcase the goals of the project and how the platform will gather data from a variety of sources in a secure manner. It will describe the automation tools, databases, manual inputs, event sorting, data modeling, and data science to deliver the intended outcomes.
Shift team effectiveness: Don't bother if you can't change "shop floor" shift...Yokogawa1
Overall shift team effectiveness is critical, but especially shift handover activities. Shift teams are at the point of manufacture and hold the keys to plant and equipment safety, reliability, production and product quality, as well as operational discipline. Shift handovers take just 5% of operational time, but account for around 40% of plant incidents. So if you want your digital transformation (DX) initiatives to succeed, you need to think like an operator–to empathize and gain credibility with those on the shop floor–and to translate the DX agenda into their language. Only through this can a true changing of ways occur. This session will showcase a proven shift team effectiveness model comprising four key areas and sub-components–organizational capability, work environment, information and technology, and operating practices–and how they all need to work in tandem with each other. A case study will demonstrate how these areas should be leveraged to ensure safety, reliability and production information effortlessly flow in, and out, of the shift team to the various support departments.
Adversity Drives Innovation and Enterprise Resilience to Best Leverage a Hist...Yokogawa1
In most plants, process data is generated by various OT systems such as the DCS or SCADA, blending systems, dosing systems, fault detection systems, smart instruments, etc. Enterprise process historians should be the system of record for all operating data and should support achieving a ‘single source of truth’ for the plant. The desire to have a single source of truth for all data types that can be consumed in decision making and execution is driving IT/OT convergence. How enterprise process historians are leveraged, both on-site and remotely, is crucial for business continuity and advancement toward increasingly autonomous operations. This presentation will showcase how new processes and techniques around remote monitoring, data extraction and advanced analytics enabled Kuraray to maintain situational awareness and visibility into key plant operations whilst social distancing during COVID-19.
Improved Upstream Production Efficiency with Remote Optimization Centers, Fie...Yokogawa1
To climb down the cost curve, upstream companies need to fundamentally change how they operate – technology, people and processes. The industry has reached close to the maximum threshold on the number of individual point solution applications (and associated processes and siloed departments) that are in use today. To remain relevant and thrive, upstream companies must firstly buy time, then digitalize and lastly, position more effectively for the energy transition. This means taking a “systems thinking” approach that focuses on the way that a production system’s constituent parts interrelate, how they work over time and within the context of larger systems. This presentation will outline the role of field-wide models, which when operationalized with real-time data, result in a digital twin that is highly effective in achieving production system optimization. These models when run in the Cloud, then enable the remote optimization center and generate synthetic data able to train AI algorithms for machine learning with limitless potential.
Transforming Decision Making in Scheduling of Terminal OperationsYokogawa1
Terminals are mission critical assets for effecting mass transfers, exploiting arbitrage opportunities, blending, mopping up errors and inaccuracies in supply chain planning, amongst others, across the hydrocarbon processing value chain. Effective scheduling of terminal operations is required to handle timing, sizing, allocation and sequencing decisions involved in connecting the "ideal" (production plan) to the "real-world" (the operation), with its various subtleties, nuances and non-linearities. Complex decision-making is required to make money. It involves the development of a detailed (executable) plan that is able to implement the operations strategy from the planning process, running the asset(s) up against physical and logistical constraints. As a result, schedulers must deal with a large number of inter-related alternatives with high implications in business performance. Wrong moves in the decision chain can set the execution path towards costly disruptions. Only through combinatorial optimization algorithms can this complexity be simplified. This presentation will show how these algorithms can be incorporated into practical business applications and made available to extend the capabilities of scheduling personnel way beyond what can be achieved with current methods. The value captured and how it is achieved will be demonstrated using actual applications in LNG Regasification, Crude Oil Supply and Primary Distribution operations.
Contributing to the Development and Application of Cybersecurity StandardsYokogawa1
As security threats evolve and adapt, so too must organizations’ responses to them. The development and application of cybersecurity standards in support of current and new generation industrial automation and control systems (IACS) are of fundamental importance. This presentation will provide practical and useful information on how cybersecurity standards are progressing and how they are applied. The initial focus will be on current activities in the development of the IEC 62443 IACS cybersecurity standards, and implications to the various stakeholders. An illustration will describe how to use the standards to frame the development of secure-by-design products and services, both current and future. Thereafter, the focus will shift to how IEC 62443 standards are used by other industry standards and securing IIoT and associated cloud systems. This is of particular importance in the context of the Open Process Automation Standard (O-PAS).

Misalignment and conflicting performance objectives between management and front line operators is the root cause of a lot of profit erosion. Businesses need systematic ways to align senior management objectives and operating KPIs. This presentation will demonstrate how a National Oil Company in Asia utilized data analytics and KPI trees with drill-down capabilities to systematically align performance objectives and KPIs in its gas processing division to achieve profit driven operations. The presentation will also highlight how first principles digital twins can be incorporated to serve as a soft sensor to deliver further accuracy and rigour.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
