| 11:30 AM - 12:00 PM | The Digitalization of Manufacturing Digitalization is the path most of the manufacturing companies are following in order to improve efficiencies and remain competitive. The Process Industries are adopting trends like Industry 4.0, Big Data, and IIoT to make it happen. These are concepts that are easily understandable when framed as a means to a goal and embraced as a journey. This presentation will show the use cases in the Pulp and Paper industry for the adoption of digitalization and analytics, its challenges and the way to overcome them. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 12:00 PM - 12:30 PM | Event Frames – A novel approach to enable life cycle management - Anglo American Platinum Anglo American Platinum (Amplats) is the world’s leading Producer of refined Platinum. The Amplats converting process had a unique challenge of managing ingots and associated equipment during a slow cooling process. A web-application was created for manual data entry, business and process logic. This web application leveraged native: Event Frame, Element, Event Frame Templates and Asset Framework search capabilities, to simplify the implementation. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 1:30 PM - 2:00 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. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2:00 PM - 2:30 PM | Do Something Amazing Rubin will describe the “Do Something Amazing” campaign at PetroSA which has initiated some amazing insights. The purpose was to gain value by understanding how the the PI data can be used across the oprganisation and share the knowledge. We extract the knowledge from the PI system and then enable people to use it to add value. In the past the response has often “how do we give this to everyone”. So we have started sessions with our team - “Event frames everywhere”
It’s like Ford said, you can have any frame as long as it is an event frame”
We had fun and this collaborative effort will yield an estimate a saving of at least R5mil over a 12 month period.

| 2:30 PM - 3:15 PM | Analytics and Data Lake: 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. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
