The Roadmap to Chemical 4.0

EVALUATE DIGITAL READINESS:

The roadmap to Chemical 4.0 for process industry starts by doing the assessment studies of underlying infrastructure, auditing data for its availability, quality, consistency & completeness and overall digital maturity of the teams (production, process, maintenance, IT, etc.). The current workflows of data (for e.g. manual data logging, offline excel sheets for calculations, manual reporting, etc.) are understood for automation needs.

IDENTIFYING THE GAPS AND PRIORITIZATION MATRIX:

Once the data audit is done, the gaps in data requirements are identified; keeping in mind the end objectives such as predictive analytics, Critical KPI monitoring, Energy monitoring & Sustainability needs. The data generation through additional sensor deployment is identified. The data integration needs (Historians, Datalake, Cloud migration, etc.) are finalized. The prioritization matrix is prepared keeping the business objectives and the impact/ROI analysis. The roadmap for digital transformation with milestones is finalized with all the stakeholders.

DEPLOYING THE RIGHT USE CASES AND SOLUTIONS:

The prioritization matrix gives the deployment roadmap and areas to focus on a short term, mid-term and long-term perspectives. The solutions are selected based-on the end objectives, end consumers of data analytics, scalability, adoption strategy.

For e.g.

Asset Performance Management (APM) – Condition-based monitoring, Predictive Maintenance, Real-time KPI-predictions, etc.

Advanced Process Control – To perform closed-loop implementations and automated process management

Energy Management

Process Safety

Remote monitoring of the entire plant.

Deriving Business KPIs

Futuristic use cases

CULTURAL TRANSFORMATION AND UPSKILLING

The success of Chemical 4.0 solutions for process industry depends on the people who are going to consume these solutions. The Culture transformation is an integral element of Chemical 4.0 deployments. Once the gaps in tools/skills are identified, we prepare a customized ‘Bridge the Gap’ program for upskilling the entire stakeholders. The upskilling is a continuous process along the entire process of digital transformation.

We fill the gap in terms of skillsets, know how and best practices in the data analytics space and help companies to get started in their data analytics journey. Our multi-skill teams consist of Domain experts in Chemical / Mechanical engineering with strong industry exposure in Oil & Energy, Chemicals, Pharmaceuticals, Metals & Mining, Cement sectors. The essential combination of data engineers, data scientists, and application engineers is instrumental in implementing data analytics solutions at our customer's end. We have a suite of solutions (Data analytics platform), which we implement as a part of our services.

Today most of the manufacturing data analytics is in the form of monitoring (what is happening) the current state of the system/ process or historical data investigation (What has happened); trying to understand the events. The basic application of statistics (such as covariance/ correlation) helps in doing deterministic analysis such as root cause analysis of the past events and identifying ‘Why’ such events happened.  

There are different applications of data science and analytics, which can help in performing various levels of analytics from diagnostics to probabilistic to augmented data modeling. The Machine learning techniques and application of the right methods can unlock the data and give meaningful insights. However, to realize the benefits of this technology, the organizations need to have the right ‘Analytics Strategy’, skills, methods, and right solutions.

Monitoring becomes a prominent approach when we are looking into the real-time variability analysis, but what signal to monitor, comes either from SMEs or through applying advanced ML/AI models. Advanced ML (supervised or unsupervised) helps us to identify the important KPIs depending upon the behavior of the data.

Soft Sensor - Intelligence to Operationalize your Industry - Oil & Gas - Data Analytics

What is Soft-sensor? Soft-sensor is a fancy term for the parameters which are derived as a function of the sensor- captured parameters. These could also be termed as “Latent Variables”, which are not readily available, but is required as a key metric to estimate the process/asset performance. Why Soft-sensor? As said above, soft-sensors are

Soft-sensors are the key metric that dictates the efficiency and performance of any process or asset. The evaluation of these parameters becomes a necessity when monitoring the real-time performance of the system and enabling future predictions for failure prevention and performance assessment.
