AUTUMN AND AUTOMATION
FAIR — MY FAVORITE THINGS
>>
Autumn is my favorite time of year for many reasons
— of course, the cool, crisp air and the colorful foliage.
But fall also brings the annual Automation Fair® event. I love that
show and look forward to it every year. It’s the one place to find
the top companies in industrial automation, and a bunch of really
cool people. In this issue of The Journal, we provide a directory of exhibitors.
This year’s event is Nov. 18-19 at McCormick Place West in Chicago, with
more than 100 exhibitors that include Rockwell Automation and companies in its
PartnerNetwork™. The event provides a chance to learn about the latest integrated
control and information portfolio of products, services and solutions that can enable a Connected Enterprise.
Process companies shouldn’t miss the Process Solutions User Group (PSUG),
Nov. 16-17 just prior to the Automation Fair® event. In addition, this issue of The
Journal focuses on Process Solutions and provides valuable information about
process safety and advanced process automation.
While you’re at the show, enter The Journal’s drawing to win an Apple
iPhone. Just follow The Journal on Twitter, Facebook or Google+., then simply
visit our booth #1191, take a picture with me, and post it to your Twitter,
Facebook or Google+ account with the hashtag #autofair15TJ. As a bonus, you
could win a $10 iTunes gift card on the spot — in addition to being entered in
the iPhone drawing! Follow us on Twitter @thejournal_RA, on Facebook at
http://bit.ly/9NGXI or on Google+ at http://goo.gl/4oa9qZ.
You can sign up for the Automation Fair® event show daily e-newsletter at
www.automationfair.com.
So, stop by our booth #1191 to take a picture with me, post it to social media
to enter our drawing to win an iPhone, and possibly win a $10 iTunes gift card
on the spot. Until next time…

Advance your process control by using a
modern DCS that provides plant-wide control,
easier skid integration, greater scalability, and
better connectivity with IT and business systems.
>>
Process-industry professionals are under constant pressure to help
increase their company’s market share, ensure compliance with evertightening regulations, and find new opportunities to improve productivity.
More often than not, they’re expected to do all this using the same automation
approach and control system strategy that they’ve relied on for decades. Yet only
so many improvements can be squeezed from old, antiquated technology.
Fortunately, numerous opportunities for operational improvements are available in the form of a modern distributed control system (DCS).
When first introduced, DCS solutions offered numerous benefits by connecting multiple controllers and points of access throughout a plant purpose-built to
handle process automation. However, now the traditional DCS is showing its age:
• A traditional DCS is built on proprietary technology disparate from
the other required automation systems in the plant. This has resulted in
fragmented control systems being used for the process area, packaging,
utilities, electrical and other systems. These multiple, separate automation
systems can be costly and difficult to integrate, while also restricting an
organization’s flexibility and responsiveness.
• The outdated platform lacks scalability. These systems were designed at a
time when plants were built from the ground up, making them uniquely
designed and nonscalable. As a result, integrating skid-based systems with
a traditional DCS typically is expensive. It requires additional hardware
and software, custom data-mapping, duplicate human-machine interface
(HMI) configuration and additional licensing.
• A traditional system is closed and only uses vendor-specific equipment. End users are usually limited to vendor-provided options for
servers, workstations and network switches, making integration with
business systems more difficult and IT support a challenge.
A modernized DCS can deliver the same core capabilities of a traditional system while addressing many of its challenges. Built on contemporary technology, a modern process platform enables plant-wide control,
greater scalability and improved connectivity with IT and business systems.
Optimized, Plant-Wide Control
Leveraging scalable, multidisciplined control technology, a modern DCS is
based on a common automation technology with the other automation systems
required in the plant. This enables seamless integration between the system and
the balance of the plant, including process, discrete, safety and power systems.

The controller for a modern DCS
directly communicates with other
controllers in a plant without using
OPC bridges or other custom interfaces, even across system boundaries.
It also can be scaled to handle all automation systems, from small packaged
systems to large process applications.
This plant-wide control capability
can help improve productivity in ways
System integration just
got a whole lot easier
that are otherwise difficult to achieve
using a traditional DCS. For example,
the modern platform gives operators
easy access to real-time and historical
data that can help them more quickly
pinpoint issues or identify opportunities to improve productivity.
A contemporary process platform
also can help organizations reduce
energy consumption and costs.
Energy usage is one of the costs most
difficult to control in manufacturing
and other industrial environments.
For example, motors typically consume more than 60% of the energy
in an industrial facility. A modernized control system, however, can
easily integrate with motor control
devices, allowing plant personnel
to collect data from the devices and
then build an energy-management
strategy around the data.
A modern DCS with plant-wide
control also can help an organization
reduce its total cost of ownership
compared to a traditional system.
The savings come in multiple forms,
such as through reduced vendor
support for proprietary technologies,
reduced training for disparate systems, smaller spare-part inventories
and reduced licensing fees.

A traditional DCS uses a single-size
controller approach, which restricts
integration with other equipment,
while a modern DCS uses a scalable control platform to deliver the
right-size control at the right cost.
This eliminates the need to purchase
expensive control capacity that isn’t
needed. Engineering costs are dramatically reduced because the same
programming tools are used in a
contemporary platform, regardless of
the system’s size or I/O capacity.
With a traditional system, skid integrations require complex configuWWW.ROCKWELLAUTOMATION.COM/THEJOURNAL

rations that can increase risk and add significant costs. In
fact, studies have shown that the cost to integrate is often
50 to 70% of the actual skid-equipment cost.
On the other hand, a modern DCS provides scalable
system capabilities, such as HMI, batch management and
data collection that don’t require a server or workstation.
Now, an OEM can deliver a fully tested and functional
skid that will integrate into the DCS instantly, and the
end user is only responsible for binding the supervisory
control and data acquisition (SCADA).
Secure, Information-Enabled Designs
More manufacturers and industrial operators are converging their IT and operations technology (OT) systems into a
unified network architecture, which Rockwell Automation
refers to as The Connected Enterprise. This network convergence is giving organizations greater visibility into their
processes and enabling information-sharing in new ways.
Amid this greater level of connectivity, however, organizations can no longer tolerate an isolated DCS. Instead,

PROCESS AUTOMATION
UPGRADE SIMPLIFIES
CHEMICAL PLANTS’
OPERATIONS
See how two chemical manufacturers optimized
production, cut downtime and more by upgrading their aging process control to a modern
automated process control system.
>>
You might not know what you’ve got until it’s
gone, but you also might not realize how bad
you had it until something better arrives — especially if
you’ve been struggling with legacy process controls. In the
case studies below, two major chemical plants realized just
that after upgrading their legacy systems to better optimize
production and simplify operations.
Meeting Expansion Demands
Syngenta Crop Protection’s agricultural chemicals plant
in Omaha, Nebraska produces fungicides, herbicides and
insecticides, as well as protective coatings for seeds. The
plant is located on 42 acres with 26 buildings, six active
formulation facilities and five tank farms.
Over the years, the plant expanded operations and
upgraded from mechanical to automated process controls.
Syngenta migrated to Rockwell Automation beginning with
its packaging lines in 2008, its liquid continuous unit in 2010
and some of the tank farms from 2012-2014. Future conversions will include the plant’s continuous granular unit, more
tank farms and water treatment plant.
Syngenta’s systems engineer, Darrell Hanson, reports the
incremental improvements in programmable logic controllers
(PLCs) and human-machine interfaces (HMIs) made life better for the plant’s operators. However, their recipes remained
in the same hard-coded versions and hardware they’d used
since 1994, which made production inflexible and unable to
handle changes or new products without new construction.
WWW.ROCKWELLAUTOMATION.COM/THEJOURNAL TJ1510_27_31_F2-Chemical.indd 27
“Orders were written by the QA lab at the start of
each day, delivered to operations, accumulated through
the year, put in a box and archived,” says Hanson. “This
system was easy to understand as long as we ran the same
product and didn’t make a lot of changes.
“However, it was cumbersome and any significant changes,
such as adding an ingredient, changing a source, cooling in
a different step or agitating longer, had to be hard-coded into
ladder logic, which meant the process engineers had to ask
the PLC programmers for help and new facilities had to be
built,” he explains. “Additionally, historical data was limited,
and could only be used for trending graphs, and the legacy
hardware and HMI software was facing renewal.”
Hanson says the company was expanding their business
and applications, so they really needed a more dynamic
automation system and more flexible recipe management
that could maximize existing resources, minimize the need
to construct new facilities, and allow changes to be initiated
by process engineers to quickly meet customer demands.
“We also needed tighter controls to handle increased
quality and environmental standards, improved analysis
via historical data and reporting, and reduced field wiring
costs for new installations,” he says. “This is why we went
with Rockwell Automation for our system conversion.”
Flexible Recipe Management
Syngenta worked with Rockwell Automation system
integrator Interstates Control Systems Inc. (www.
rockwellautomation.com/go/p-interstates), and
implemented primary and secondary domain controllers
and servers from Rockwell Automation, including these
FactoryTalk® solutions (www.rockwellsoftware.com):

ning Java for shop-floor interfaces.
• FactoryTalk Metrics for overall equpment effectiveness
(OEE) reporting.
• FactoryTalk AssetCentre for equipment management.
• FactoryTalk Batch.
• FactoryTalk View Site Edition.
• FactoryTalk Historian.
• FactoryTalk VantagePoint® reporting software running
on a VantagePoint SQL server.
All of these servers reside on ESXi virtualization servers
running VMware software (www.rockwellautomation.
com/go/vmware).
“Our new PLCs are programmed modularly, so recipes can
control groups of equipment following the ISA S88 standard,”
explains Hanson. “New recipes are set up by formulation engineers instead of PLC programmers. Orders are entered into
campaign manager software by QA lab personnel for each
batch to be produced, and operators start and control all batch
functions using FactoryTalk Batch.
“All data is recorded using FactoryTalk Historian, and
batch reports and KPIs are viewed with FactoryTalk VantagePoint,” he says.
FactoryTalk software and the PlantPAx® process automation system, along with other supporting solutions,
gave the company faster time-to-market and improved
asset utilization because they could use the same tanks to
make more and different products, and reduced total cost
of ownership and enterprise risk management.
Virtualizing Process Control
Going a step further in the St. Louis area, the controls engineering department at Jost Chemical Co. in Overland,
Missouri, worked with system integrator McEnery Automation (www.rockwellautomation.com/go/p-mcenery),
a recognized Rockwell Automation system integrator in
Fenton, Missouri, to combine and upgrade Jost’s distributed process controls, and migrate to the PlantPAx process
automation system built on virtual, redundant servers.

capacity, custom and inconsistent PLC
and HMI code, and an overloaded process network with a flat architecture,”
says Rick Tissier, chemical engineering
leader at Jost.
Tissier says Jost wanted a plant-wide
control system that could be implemented in phases over a year or more,
and when complete, the system will:
• Make existing licenses compatible.
• Give its historian access to data
from all existing process areas
early in the project.
•Be flexible enough to allow integration of future process areas.
• Enable consistency in programming and operator graphics.
• Generate cost savings via efficient
implementation tools.
• Increase plant reliability.
Tissier adds that the Rockwell Automation Library of Process Objects
— such as device configurations from
templates, predefined alarms, variable-frequency drive (VFD) faceplates
and sequencer Add-On Instructions
(AOI) — was the determining factor
in Jost’s decision to standardize on
Rockwell Automation.
Steve McNamer, project manager at McEnery, says Jost had one
process, unsegmented control system
for all its applications and devices,
and much of its production traffic
was colliding and interfering internally. The process controls consist of
three Allen-Bradley ControlLogix®
programmable automation controllers (PACs) and two Allen-Bradley
CompactLogix™ PACs (www.
rockwellautomation.com/go/
tjcompactlogix), eight SLC™/MicroLogix™ PLCs, 29 Allen-Bradley
VFDs, 16 I/O chassis, three PanelView graphic terminals, six standalone FactoryTalk View Site Edition
station servers, and one server running FactoryTalk Directory Services
and FactoryTalk Historian.
Before virtualization, Jost had
2/26/15 10:41 AMWWW.ROCKWELLAUTOMATION.COM/THEJOURNAL

five physical servers. To virtualize its
computing, the company dispensed
with three of the original servers,
dedicated one to FactoryTalk Historian with access to data from all process areas, and used the last physical
server to establish eight virtual servers
running Hyper-V software for control
and supervisory tasks. FactoryTalk
VantagePoint provides process data to
managers on Jost’s business network.
“Using the library reduces implementation time for new and converted
processes and provides consistent operator interfaces,” says McNamer. “It also
enables Jost to convert existing process
areas one at a time by converting existing ControlLogix programming and
FactoryTalk View SE standalone applications to the PlantPAx format, and
then integrating them into distributed
FactoryTalk View and ViewPoint.”
automation of sequencing to reduce
batch times up to 10%, while milling improvements resulted in more
consistent product size and increased
on-stream time by 6%,” he adds.

“My inspections will be safer and the larger
viewing area allows me to inspect more areas of
my electrical equipment.”
Notable Improvements
The library reduced Jost’s programming
costs by 25% for an estimated savings
of $10,000. Using Hyper-V reduced its
required Windows Server licenses for an
estimated savings of more than $10,000
for server hardware and software.
“Our Historian tag count has
increased to 750 tags,” says Tissier.
“Our engineers are using FactoryTalk
VantagePoint to suggest process
improvements and additional automation, and the PlantPAx system has
simplified the implementation of these
suggestions. In addition, our increased
automation has resulted in higher productivity by reducing batch time and
operator errors, but our operators are

IS YOUR SIS UP TO CURRENT STANDARDS?
People charged with process safety should review existing safety instrumented system designs,
understand the standards, and know that certification doesn’t necessarily mean equipment standards
are met.
By Paul Gruhn, P.E., ISA Fellow, Global Process Safety Consultant, Rockwell Automation
Editor’s Note: This article is adapted from Gruhn’s full
white paper, “Is your existing Safety Instrumented System
up to current standards?” Visit http://goo.gl/2aHIXA to
download this free, comprehensive white paper to learn even
more about SISs, standards and how to determine if your
systems comply.
>>
Process safety is a major concern to anyone
who works in a process facility. An estimated
25,000 facilities covered by the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA) Process Safety Management of Highly Hazardous Chemicals regulation will
most likely have safety instrumented systems (SISs), also
known as emergency shutdown systems.
Guidelines and standards for the design and implementation of safety systems have been in place in a variety
of industries since the 1990s. Many things change, even
standards. However, many other things don’t change — or
change very little — such as industrial processes that have
been running for decades.
So what are you expected to do with safety systems
installed prior to current standards? Are previous designs automatically assumed to be acceptable, or must
all older systems be ripped out and replaced? We explore
this topic.
WWW.ROCKWELLAUTOMATION.COM/THEJOURNAL TJ1510_33_38_F3-SIStandards.indd 33
How can I determine if my existing system is acceptable? There are two fundamental steps to determine if
your existing systems are acceptable:
• Step #1: Identify all safety instrumented functions
(SIFs) and determine what level of performance they
need to meet — that is, determine the required safety
integrity level (SIL) of each SIF.
• Step #2: Analyze/model/calculate the performance
of the actual hardware to see if it will meet the r
equired performance.

Should Expect From Your Distributed
Control System
Download the free white paper from Rockwell Automation, “Rethink What You Should Expect From Your Distributed Control System.” It describes the modern distributed
control system (DCS) — one that delivers all of the core
capabilities of a traditional DCS to address the requirements of process control, but is built on contemporary
technology that easily integrates with other automation
systems, operators’ activities and critical business systems. Visit http://goo.gl/EBS4Ft to download it now!

To help address step one, Figure
1 shows the performance requirements for the different SILs. Part 3
of the standard summarizes several
different techniques used around the
world for determining SIL, including the risk matrix, risk graph and
layer of protection analysis (LOPA).
It’s worth noting a statement made
in the introduction that says, “The
information provided is not of sufficient detail to implement any of
these approaches.”
According to the U.S. process
safety management regulation, process hazard analyses must be reviewed
every five years. Such review cycles are
an ideal time to formally identify all
safety functions and determine their
required performance targets.
To address step #2, many standards,
technical reports and books exist that
describe how to analyze hardware
performance to see if it will meet the
required performance. For example,
Clause 11.9 of the standard requires the
performance of a function to be verified
by a calculation. The standard also
includes fault-tolerant tables to show
what configurations of logic solvers and
field devices are suitable for different integrity levels. Figure 2 shows examples

of technologies and configurations that
can meet different integrity levels.
For example, let’s imagine that your
team performs a SIL selection/determination study and determines that
a function needs to meet SIL 1. The
function and its field devices are separate from the control system. The safety
hardware consists of a pressure switch,
wired to a relay logic panel, which is
INTEGRATED

then wired to a single solenoid operated
valve. All of the components are tested
on a yearly basis. Such hardware would
meet SIL 1 performance levels, and no
changes would be necessary.
However, let’s say the function
needed to meet SIL 2 and consists of
a single standard transmitter, wired to
a general purpose programmable logic
controller (PLC), which is then wired
to a single solenoid operated valve. Such
a configuration would not meet SIL
2 performance requirements, nor the
fault tolerance table requirements, and
a change would be necessary. There are
exceptions to every rule, but those are
beyond the scope of this article.
Does using certified devices
mean you will now comply? There is
a growing — and disturbing — trend
for users to specify that all field devices
be SIL rated and third-party certified,
usually to SIL 2 requirements. Vendors might also be using scare tactics
to get users to replace older noncertified devices with newer certified ones.
The standards are clear that
devices don’t require certification.
They have always permitted the use
of devices based on “proven-in-use”
criteria. However, many end users
find it difficult to thoroughly document this criteria.
Keep in mind, using certified devices isn’t the magic answer, and using such devices alone doesn’t mean a
company will be in compliance with
the standards.

Safety Leaders Must Keep Up
Process safety remains a concern, with SIS
standards constantly changing. People charged
with maintaining the safety of the facility must
not only familiarize themselves with the latest
standards, but with so-called “grandfather clauses”
such as in ISA 84. Process safety involves a comprehensive understanding of these standards and
how they correlate to age-old industrial processes
that have not changed.
Your safety instrumented systems supplier can
help you determine if your current equipment
meets the standards in place and help you select
the solution that can meet your requirements

FSMA COMPLIANCE
WITH TECHNOLOGY
The FDA sets the food safety compliance objectives, and leaves it up to you to figure out how to get
there. Here is some guidance on what you’ll need.
By Jim Toman, Lead Consultant - Food and Beverage Services and Ian Tooke, Director - Consulting Services, Grantek
Systems Integration
>>
The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA,
www.fda.gov/Food/GuidanceRegulation/
FSMA) will revolutionize food safety in the United States,
and will have a ripple effect across the globe. Of the seven
rules proposed by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration
(FDA) thus far, the majority are hundreds of pages in
length, and understanding what’s required can be confusing. With additional rules still expected to come, it can be
difficult to plan for the future.
So far, the FDA has released the proposed rules shown
in the illustration on page 50, with court-defined dates
for finalization. While regulatory compliance is a baseline
requirement, the ability to concurrently satisfy other business needs helps ease the burden of implementing a change.
Food Safety Evolution
The Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP)
approach to food safety has been gaining ground over the
past several decades, and is required for certain types of food
products in the United States (seafood, juice, meat and poultry). FMSA will require the breadth of the food industry to
build upon HACCP and formalize a comprehensive system
to address food safety. Standards will be instituted for fresh
produce, food processing, transportation and imports.
Rather than issuing product-specific requirements, the
FDA sets the objective and leaves it up to companies to
figure out how to get there. While the FDA doesn’t require
the use of any specific system, technology, or the use of
any degree of automation, it’s clear that the FDA wants
companies to embrace technology.
Regardless of the approach taken, several overarching “ingredients” are needed for FSMA compliance
48 THE JOURNAL | October 2015
TJ1510_48_51_F5-FSMA.indd 48
that also are critical for your brand protection:
• Rapid Response. Whether it’s recognizing that a
process is out of control or providing records to the FDA,
companies need to be able to respond quickly.
• Consistency. When considerable effort goes into
developing a plan to achieve food safety, the consistent
implementation of those policies is critical.
• Documentation. The foundational role that documentation will play in demonstrating that food safety is
under control — even when a regulator or auditor isn’t
looking — can’t be overstated.
• Analysis. The food industry collects a lot of data.
However, bringing the data together to make sense of
the bigger picture often is lacking. Trending data allows
companies to anticipate looming issues and also can reveal
opportunities to optimize systems and efficiency. While
FSMA revolutionizes the FDA’s food safety authorities, an
individual company’s path to compliance should be more
of an evolution, not a revolution.
Preventive Controls
Preventive controls prevent, eliminate or reduce the
known hazard to an acceptable level for safe consumption
of food. Under FSMA, the FDA will have a legislative
mandate to require comprehensive, science-based preventive controls across the food supply.
Moving forward, some activities that have historically
been considered current Good Manufacturing Practices
(cGMPs) may be updated and modernized, thus falling
under Preventive Controls.
Within the realm of Preventive Controls, process
controls are the most familiar. These are the controls
WWW.ROCKWELLAUTOMATION.COM/THEJOURNAL
9/28/15 9:01 AM
that are typically associated with
HACCP and are recognized as the
critical control points for food safety.
With Preventive Controls, the FDA
expects that food manufacturers will
continue to heavily rely upon process
controls. Consistent with what is
seen in existing HACCP regulations,
the FDA would require that the following approach be followed:
Validation. Whatever process
control is selected must work. If
a process is being employed, for
example, to control for Salmonella,
the food producer must be able to
show that the process will destroy
the pathogen effectively. In this
example, this means knowing the
expected and worst case levels of
the pathogen so that the amount of
“kill” can be determined.
Then, the parameters that will
accomplish this reduction need to be
tested. This should be done using the
food products to which the process
will be applied, under the most realto-life conditions possible, including
using the actual equipment that will
be used during production.
Establishing Parameters. Validation studies will help a company
establish the conditions needed for
an effective process. Any change,
such as a change in formulation
or processing equipment, should
prompt a re-evaluation of the parameters. Automated recipe management
for equipment and process parameters can help food producers meet
this need.
Monitoring. Once the parameters
are set, they must be monitored. A
Historian database can be used to
capture these process parameters such
as temperature, pressure, time, etc.
Corrective Actions. System
failures need to be anticipated, and
facilities need to show they have
thought through what could go
wrong and have a plan to address
WWW.ROCKWELLAUTOMATION.COM/THEJOURNAL TJ1510_48_51_F5-FSMA.indd 49
issues if they occur. When issues
do occur, the facility needs to keep
records of the event and show they
followed the course of action specified in their food safety plan.
Verification. The FDA has proposed a few ways facilities will need
to show that their entire food safety
system is working as anticipated.
Recordkeeping and documentation,
Automating functions.
Simplifying operations.
Modernizing protection.

and a review of those records as well as a re-evaluation of
the overall food safety plan, would be required.
Examples of Preventive Controls
Allergen Control. For facilities that have identified
food allergens as hazards that are reasonably likely
to occur, implementing allergen controls would be
required. This can encompass several different activities, including appropriate sanitation between different
allergens as well as runs without allergens, appropriate
storage of allergens, material verification, and label
control and verification.

Supplier Verification. In some cases, a facility might
not have a way to control a hazard, instead relying on a
supplier for control. In this instance, the FDA is expected to propose that supplier controls be enacted in
such a way that the receiving facility is assured that their
supplier is adequately controlling hazards.
Certificates of Analysis (CoAs) by suppliers have little
value if a receiving company doesn’t know how to review
and verify them properly. The preferred approach is to automate the review of COAs. Implementing an automated
traceability and genealogy system covering raw materials
receipt and linking laboratory analysis of raw materials
samples to the specific received lots can create a traceable
and searchable record that proves control.
Forensic Traceability. An automated track-and-trace
system, with genealogy records including key data elements (KDEs) captured at critical tracking events (CTEs)
and further detail of equipment and production routings,
can facilitate fast forensic investigation and build trust
with the FDA and consumers.

With the advent of smart manufacturing and Industrial Internet of Things (IoT), interconnectivity
between devices and disparate systems, and synergistic collaboration between multiple business processes and stakeholders within a manufacturing enterprise, are becoming a reality.
Be it mining, oil and gas, water or power utilities, or process
or discrete manufacturing manufacturing, major players are
using real-time intelligence to make informed decisions using
a universally integrated IT infrastructure.

In this article, we look at real-time integration between
maintenance and operations and how maintenance can
drive superior asset performance.
Asset Performance
Asset performance management (APM) is the term used
for maximizing asset availability and reliability. When
these two metrics are improved, the return on assets (production assets) is maximized. Because a major investment
of the manufacturing (or utility) industry typically is on
production assets, achieving a better return on assets increases shareholder value, and therefore is a strategic goal
for most large enterprises.
Given technology advancements, it’s possible to capture
machine (production asset) data automatically, transform
the raw machine data to metadata, discover actionable
intelligence from the metadata, and generate proactive
maintenance actions to maintain continuous and superior
asset performance.
Therefore, “opportunistic” maintenance interventions
can be generated in response to the “emerging” real-time
intelligence on the condition of a plant-floor asset. This
capability is useful beyond just maintaining operational
performance. In many instances, asset degradation can relate to regulatory noncompliance, a safety risk or a quality

failure leading to a major financial loss. Therefore, APM is
seen as a multidisciplinary and continuous improvement
program as opposed to being a one-time initiative.
Asset Intelligence
As stated earlier, to perform good and continuously effective APM, there is a need for generating proactive realtime actions based on intelligence and not data. According to some reports, about 15,000 terabytes of data can
be generated every day. This is a lot of data. Most of the
collected data, unless converted into metadata and further
into intelligence, is not useful.
Asset intelligence systems are software programs that
enable the collection of raw data from plant assets, controllers and drives and convert them into actionable intelligence. The conversion process will involve selecting data

the “status” or “condition” of assets.
The output of an asset intelligence system is the automatic generation of useful and timely maintenance actions
