![]() An example is HPS’ own connected services to assist users in maintaining performance of systems and applications, dubbed Benefits Guardianship Performa (BGP). (See also the presentation “ Taking Advantage Of New Technologies”, presented at the User Group Conference). The platform allows, amongst others, the development of apps by third parties, and which can be made available to users in the tier three scenario. ![]() The Cloud platform can be Honeywell’s Sentience platform or a platform of the users’ choice. The third tier extends collaboration of tier two beyond the enterprise boundaries to and ecosystem of third party equipment, engineering, operations or maintenance service providers. Uniformance PHD can provide this functionality and thereby enable both engineering-science or data-science based analytics at global level. An important step to make this successful according to HPS is the ‘fusion’ of operational time series, alarm and event information plus other data such as maintenance records, originating from multiple sources in a globally accessible data store. As all advanced solutions are cloud enabled this is technically possible. Where cloud-based analysis and expert support was an option in tier one, in tier two it is the only feasible solution. The second tier corresponds to enterprise-wide collaboration. Also operator stations are cloud-enabled, enabling remote operation. For details on the corresponding products Uniformance PHD, Insight, Asset Sentinel and KPI, see “ IIoT Analytics Platform Uniformance Suite ”. Advanced solutions have extensive capabilities to discover abnormal behavior, analyze it, build analytics ranging from simple calculations to complex multi-variable model-based, and create run-time-analytics-based rules automating the early detection of abnormal behavior. Honeywell proposes access to real-time and historical data with context based on the asset hierarchy, operational performance and business-oriented KPI visualization. Collaboration of operations with maintenance, management and engineering on-site, with the help of advanced tools and analytics can further help improving performance. Low cost sensors for purposes other than control, for example for monitoring and analysis purposes, can be added and connected via gateways. ![]() First, instruments and control devices, including operator stations are cloud enabled or connected to the cloud via gateways. The first tier is the classical process control with instruments, actuators, a DCS and a control room, with a few additions. IIoT by Honeywell is a three-tier solution. (For a more detail discussion of these needs, see our first blog in this series). Other requirements define the capabilities of solutions: optimizing supply chains, reach higher production levels, help personnel improving or complementing skills, or making the use of skills more efficient. For profitability reasons, CAPEX and project cost should be kept to a minimum. Implementation of those must be done ‘on-process’. This implies providing possibilities for upgrade and modernization for brownfield installations. These investments must be protected to guarantee satisfactory return on assets (ROA). Installations are capital intensive, are long-lived. Safety takes priority over confidentiality. Failures must allow continued safe operation, safe degraded operation modes, or safe shutdowns, in that order of priority. Solutions must improve safety or in the worst case preserve current safety performance. Process safety reasons imply high-availability real-time control and fault-tolerance. IoT for industry needs to fulfill specific requirements and constrain the architecture: We researched how the solutions are architected, looked for early implementations, and deciphered what we believe is specific about the approach.Ĭommon components we find in cross-sector IoT applications, and also in the process industries are virtualization, cloud computing, pervasive networking, big data, analytics and machine learning, smart devices, mobility and cyber security. One of the themes throughout the conference was IIoT by Honeywell. The Honeywell Users Group EMEA Conference 2016 was held at the ‘world forum’ in The Hague, The Netherlands, from Oct 24 th to 27 th. ![]() Product and Service Lifecycle Management. ![]()
