The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is presenting process companies with ever more data about their processes. The challenge is to make the most of modern smart metering solutions.


Das Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) liefert Prozessunternehmen immer mehr Daten über ihre Prozesse. Die Herausforderung besteht darin, das Beste aus modernen Smart-Metering- Lösungen herauszuholen.


L’Internet industriel des choses (IIoT) offre aux sociétés de transformations encore plus de données à propos de leurs processus. Le défi consiste à tirer le maximum des solutions de comptage intelligentes.


Acquiring prediction data is particularly useful for determining the health of sleeve bearings on turbo machinery.

Sensor technology and the Internet of Things


A


s sensor technology becomes simpler, more diverse, easier to implement and more effective to


deploy because of wireless technology, a vast amount of extra information is becoming available to plant operators. Known as the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) by some companies – and pervasive sensing by others – the challenge is how to handle this information in a way that will improve the entire lifecycle of an industrial plant. Big data analytics is the key, enabling process companies to extract valuable operational information from all this smart data in a fast, secure way. The strategy pursued by Emerson


Process Management, one of the companies that prefers to use the ‘pervasive sensing’ description, combines its abilities in sensor and wireless technologies for industrial process facilities with its application expertise and data analytics to provide better and actionable data that extends beyond traditional process controls to


other functions, such as site safety and energy management. To this end it has just opened a new US$10 million (€9.2 million) Pervasive Sensing Centre of Excellence in Singapore to help industrial producers operate more efficiently, safely, reliably and profitably. It is the company’s first such centre. Emerson will be working with the


Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) to provide pervasive sensing pilot projects, training and testing capabilities for companies, and to provide educational opportunities for college students, with an end objective of helping industrial companies become more energy efficient. On the smart technology front, the


company’s latest addition is an update to its AMS suite: Machinery Health Manager software. The new CSI 6500 protection system communicates additional prediction data to allow users to make real-time decisions on operating their critical assets. What’s new here is that users


receive periodic parameter trends and spectrum/waveform data delivered at
