Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)

What is IIoT?

Convergence of ubiquitous sensors, mobile data access, improved analytics and lower cost of computing to provide new and lower cost business capabilities.

Benefits

Safety: monitor more equipment, people and processes to provide better situational awareness and alerting.
Lower cost: ability to quickly integrate low-cost sensors connected to the cloud to provide information streams that were not economical in the past.

Easier to support: sensors are directly connected to the cloud using 3G wireless and integrated into cloud solutions that are scalable and supportable.

IIoT as a game changer

Digital solutions continue to be game changers as we showcase IIoT technology application with a cross-functional team from Process Automation and Technical Computing departments working to overcome technical challenges it confronted in seeking to connect data from its IIoT sensors to the cloud data historian where it can be used for a wide range of process and production digital solutions.

Such team do leverage the IIoT as a more cost-effective way of transmitting data to the cloud and to augment the real-time database from the control, or SCADA, systems, thus providing a more complete set of data on which to perform analytics.

In DIGITALIGE, we are actively seeking similar opportunities in our operations to leverage on the successful deployment of the LTE mobile technology and enterprise-wide wireless infrastructure.

Ways Companies use IIoT today

(and can use tomorrow)

Today: Sensors connected to cloud to monitor, analyze and optimize equipment health and detect fouling; in pilot with Downstream refining.

Future: Enable all equipment and facilities (field and office) to be fully digitized, monitored and optimized using low-cost cloud connected sensors.

Today: Ultrasonic-level sensors connected to cloud using 3G

modems and built into a tank screw-on cap; in pilot.

Future: Deploy sensors on all equipment and people, allowing optimized and improved work processes.

Today: RFID tags to locate personnel in a facility, especially in abnormal conditions; in production sites and other locations evaluating Lone Worker solutions.

Future: Combine sensor data with data science analytics to automate decisions and optimize.

Today: RFID tags to track equipment; in production facilities.
