IIoT and Remote O&M will Change all
the Flow and Treat Markets
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) will provide a myriad of instant white
papers about each flow and treat product in each process, in each plant in each
industry. The conclusions from the IIoT results will be the basis of future
purchasing decisions.
The purchasing process will radically change not only because of IIoT, but
because of electronic rather than personal information transfer. Mobile
communications and many new ways for individuals to instantly investigate and
communicate are already changing the marketing landscape.
The Industrial Internet of Wisdom (IIoW) will empower IIoT and further serve the
instant investigatory demands of the purchaser. IIOW interconnects people and
organizes knowledge. The desired investment in IIoW is even bigger than in IIoT.
The four knowledge needs: Alerts,
Answers, Analysis, and Advancement can be supplied in a cost effective manner.
The McIlvaine
Industrial IoT and Remote O&M
provides the road map for
flow and treat suppliers and their collaborators to pursue this fast growing
market.
Pharmaceutical IIoT and Remote O&M Webinar on June 28 is a Work in Progress
This webinar will build on the 13 webinars conducted in the last few months. We
will discuss why the pharmaceutical technical and regulatory needs are unique
and then discuss a marketing plan to focus on the largest international
pharmaceutical companies. We will also address the needs in the rapidly growing
generics production market in Asia.
How is the pharmaceutical market unique? Andrew Whytock, of Siemens was recently
quoted as to why IIoT will be particularly important to pharma. He said
the key distinguishing feature of the pharma
industry is the requirement to document and record everything that happens
during production for compliance reasons. IIoT could therefore become a catalyst
for paperless production, as equipment and recipe parameters become more closely
connected and available, meaning less manual interventions could be required.
Melissa Topp, and Oliver Gruner, of ICONICS believe the most exciting benefits
center on real-time monitoring and control, optimized decision making, reduced
costs, and improved patient outcomes. Part of the reason this has all become
possible is because advances in sensors and IIoT gateway devices have made them
much more affordable.
In many ways the challenges are the same as the chemical industry which was the
subject of the last webinar. Relative to IIoW, we used the distillation example
and the fact that Honeywell has extensive training courses for distillation
operators. This can be expanded into higher level on-line training. The example
of mechanical vapor recompression and some of the McIlvaine findings were
reviewed.
We are contacting process equipment, valve, and pump companies to better
understand the potential opportunities. In one case the outlet valve on a
reactor is fitted with sensors which transmit not just flow data but process
parameters. The advantages of incorporating these sensors in the valve rather
than in a dedicated intrusion point in the vessel are listed.
We encourage you to supply us with relevant data on the success of your products
in pharma IIoT. We can evaluate and include new data received until June 26.
Marketing Plan for Chemical Industry IIoT Explained
The recording of this June 7 webinar shown at
https://youtu.be/mP5fFnHLoCs reviewed the IIoT offerings of
software, analytics, component and treatment chemical suppliers with specific
case histories including: E+H flow
monitors and Samson valves in BASF 4.0 system preventative maintenance systems;
Rockwell automation at Syngenta Crop Protection and Whitmore Lubricants;
Schneider Electric Intelatrac at 120 sites; Nalco 24/7 remote monitoring and
coverage of products by Accenture, GE, Honeywell, IBM, Linde, McKinsey
Microsoft, Siemens and Yokogawa.
The webinar provided analysis of the coming $24 billion market and the
individual potential at the 20 largest chemical companies. Over 30 slides are
devoted to just three of the top 20 (BASF No. l, Dow-DuPont - the soon to be No.
1 - and Covestro No. 20). The success of Emerson Delta V at Covestro was
reported
A marketing plan supported by plant and process details and mobile communication
links to the people was supplied.
In the case of BASF names and titles of some 20 key decision makers relative to
Industry 4.0 were provided just using information from LinkedIn and the BASF
publications. LinkedIn provides detailed information on decision makers. It is
relatively easy to look at the biographies and responsibilities and then connect
with the chosen people. There are thousands of contacts at each large chemical
company.

To illustrate the availability of plant and process data, examples of a number
of plants and processes for Dow Chemical in the U.S. were used. The conclusion
is that any supplier can develop a powerful instant communication program with
his potential customers.

Mining
-
Many mining operations include transport of
slurry, size reduction and refining or at least
pelletizing at the mine site. Operations
typically take place in remote and often
inhospitable environments. IIoT and Remote O&M
promises substantial cost reduction but also
improved processing. Subjects covered included
Rio Tinto mine of the future, Howden mine
ventilation solution, Solenis gold mine scaling
control plus coverage of ABB, Andritz, Baggi,
Cisco, Eaton, Emerson, Evoqua, F.L Smidth,
Grundfos, Honeywell, ITT, Kemira, Nalco,
Siemens, Solenis, Source One, Symbioticware,

Treatment Chemicals
- There is a $ 2.2 billion IIoT potential by
2025 for treatment chemicals suppliers. Nalco
has installed more than 1000 3D TRASAR boiler
automation systems supported by Nalco 360T
Service, to provide 24/7 monitoring for boiler
systems. Solenis has its OnGuard controller
system also supported by 24/7 remote monitoring.
GE TrueSense directly measures all three primary
chemistries used in cooling water treatment and
interfaces with InSight, GE's cloud-based
knowledge management solution. Kemira SMART
chemical treatment of sludge enables the
optimization of chemical consumption but also
delivers the best dewatering performance.
Buckman provides the template for IIoW with a
system for interconnection and knowledge
transfer and even a bestselling book on
Building
a Knowledge Based Organization. The

Ultrapure Water
- Power plants use ultrapure
water to make steam,
semiconductor manufacturers to
wash chips and pharmaceutical
manufacturers for making drugs
for human injection.
Purifying water to meet these
rigid requirements requires
complex processes and expensive
chemicals. IIoT and Remote
O&M provide the opportunity to
better maintain water quality
while reducing operating costs.
Since the manufacturing
environments are also complex it
will be necessary to integrate
ultrapure water IIoT with the
plant wide IIoT. Remote
monitoring is already routine
for gas turbine generation plant
operators. So adding ultrapure
water is a logical progression.
Coal fired and nuclear power
plants, chip makers and
pharmaceutical producers are
going to embrace IIoT and will
be expecting the contribution of
the Industrial Internet of
Wisdom (IIoW) by ultrapure water
system and component suppliers. |

Cleanrooms
- Semiconductor, pharmaceutical
and other manufacturers need
ultraclean environments. The
webinar covered the opportunity
for continuous remote monitoring
of recirculating air and water
used in critical processes along
with development of smarter mini
environments and better sensors
to track personnel activity and
contamination. It also be
covered activities of individual
companies as illustrated from

Air Pollution Control
- The basis for a $60 billion
2030 IIoT forecast is explained.
Continuous emissions monitoring
systems are now required in many
industries in many countries.
Typically minute by minute
emissions of each pollutant are
transmitted to owners as well as
enforcement agencies. There is a
huge potential to integrate the
information from these systems
with combustion and other
process optimization systems to
operate plants based on both
total economic and environmental
cost of ownership.
Mcilvaine provides insights
based on analyses included
in World FGD Market, NOx Control
World Markets, World Fabric
Filter & Elements Market,
Electrostatic Precipitator World
Market. Remote operation and
maintenance of electrostatic
precipitators is well
established and successful. This
success is a model for other
IIoT initiatives and is examined
in detail. |

Water & Wastewater IIoT and
Remote O&M
-
Municipal water and wastewater
treatment systems are challenged
by long pipelines subject to
leakage, corrosion, odors, and
blockages as well as by
maintaining valves and pumps in
remote locations. New wireless
technologies are already
enthusiastically embraced.
Mcilvaine provided insights
based on several of its
services: North American
