Introduction
 
1:10 PM - 1:40 PM
Keynote: Digital Agility in the Evolving World of Industry 4.0 and IIoT
Automation, IIoT, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence and Artificial Reality – the next decade promises to be the digital revolution of the industrial world. Our challenge is integrating legacy systems and assets with new technologies to harness the explosion of data to drive new opportunities without risking existing operations. This keynote will cover the challenges of the digital revolution and best practices for success and highlights how a data infrastructure strategy can support organizations invest in an agile ecosystem of edge, enterprise and cloud technologies.
1:40 PM - 2:10 PM
CBM: Just Right, Just-in-Time Maintenance
We are being asked to run equipment longer, faster and harder with less resources while minimizing failures. Condition based maintenance takes a data driven approach to maximizing the performance of your assets and maintenance schedules.  Discover through drag and drop configuration how the PI System can be used for condition based maintenance. Configure digital representations of your assets, calculate key performance indicators (KPIs), and even send notifications or kick off maintenance work flows based on the real condition of your assets.  Kick-starting your CBM project has never been easier with the modern PI System.
2:10 PM - 2:40 PM
Implementing Condition Based Maintenance within the Belgian Electricity Transmission System Operator
(Customer Success Story: OSIsoft will present on behalf of Elia)
2:40 PM - 3:00 PM
Break
 
3:00 PM - 3:30 PM
Analytics: It’s what you do with the data that counts
Industrial Analytics is the buzz of the day. Big data, data lakes, machine learning and artificial intelligence are offering the allure of new insights and answers to efficiencies.  However sometimes the first big win comes from a small improvement and the data your already own.  Learn how you can break down seemingly complex big data problems into a manageable sequence of steps with the PI System.  Even without waiting for completion of a full-blown statistical model, your operational experts can often spot anomalous patterns with little more than a few events captured by PI System event frames and compiled in a report.  And when you are ready to push data to advanced machine learning (ML) tools, the PI Integrator line is available to jump-start your data science initiative with clean, ready-to-consume, reliable data. 
3:30 PM - 4:00 PM
How OSIsoft PI Asset Framework enables us to speed up data availability within our existing data quality standards.
Roy will present two ongoijng projects at Engie and their infrastructural concept. the first is Project "Fast Close" aimed to reduce the time to report monthly KPI in order to raise the steering value of their data. For this, they created a PI AF model, which allows them to totalize all sorts of data sources into daily and monthly data and KPI. The second is Project ‘Load forecasting’: designed to raise the accuracy of the day ahead load forecast in order to reduce the imbalance costs.
For this, they created a PI AF model, which allows them to calculate the load forecast on quarter hourly base based on the data from a weather forecast service.
4:00 PM - 4:30 PM
Leverage OSIsoft PI System to the max with Advanced Analytics of TrendMiner
To benefit from the Industrial Internet of Things to achieve Operational Excellence, data analytics becomes crucial. Instead of relying on a small group of data scientists, process manufacturing companies benefit the most if subject matter experts, such as process engineers, contribute daily to corporate goals and overall profitability. TrendMiner enables process engineers to analyse, monitor and predict process and asset performance. 
In this presentation, Jeroen De Wolf will give a brief introduction of self-service advanced analytics on top of OSIsoft PI. Next, based on many customer implementations, he will share the road to success and how to best build an analytics organization. Jeroen will also share some of the most interesting customer cases and the benefits they gained in areas such as improved production, reduced costs and enhanced quality and safety.
