Domain appropriate

• All aspects need to be addressed for the successful consulting

• Too much focus on one aspect detracts from that achievable success

• Need to achieve a balance in order to achieve success

• Not solely technology success

• BUT Success-in-use to the operating facility

Consulting Challenges for Process Plants

Domain appropriate

• Methodology applicable at different levels of detail

• “right” level of approach –formal versus anecdotal

• To level of interest

If Emphasis on Sound – Driven by the Methodology

Domain appropriate

• Facility success depends on it.• Sets possible project or opex spend direction

• Geographical location – are skills available• System skills versus domain skills• Not purely driven to solution sales• Training, coaching

Consulting Output Must be Supportable

PEOPLE

Key Challenge: Right Decisions at the Right Time:Focused Expertise Needed for Process Industry

ASSETS

PROCESS

PRODUCTION

Need to continually track movement of materialthrough the plant. Need to easily compare planned vs. actual and raw vs. reconciledproduction.

Control systems must be optimized for maximum performance. People need smarter tools to enable them to manage the process more efficiently.

Many assets across multiple locations must run reliably and at highest capacity, optimized against maintenance costs.

People in multiple departments and roles making key decisions.Decisions impact people & plans in other departments.People need accurate information in contextto make informed decisions.

Cyber Security Consulting

The First Step to Security Is Understanding the Current Environment

Customer problems solved/needs addressed:– Identifying and prioritizing the biggest risks– Meeting industry/government regulations and

guidelines– Finding which systems and devices are the most

exposed, and the most vulnerable– Prioritizing cyber security efforts for the maximum

return

Honeywell Offerings:– Network Assessment– Wireless Assessment– Security Assessment SAL2 (coincidental & intentional

attacks using simple means)– Security Assessment SAL3 (targeted attacks using

sophisticated means)– Compliance Assessments & Reports

Idea Generation Workshop (recent example)• 140 ideas generated• Moneyball

- visualization/ report to understand why target are not met- production loss vs bad actors reasons by cost and frequency- daily tracking of in conformance PONC against targets visible to operations- $ amounts vs target off- better tracking of target deltas and why- Manage economics target as we manage limits / boundaries (operating

windows)- production planning : Analytics to monitor GAPS in target attainment- I would easily know $$ impact of abnormal situation or event

• Cracked up- Coke Drum cracks

• Risky Business- Reduce uncertainty of probability- Maximize Risk reduction- Easy way to better estimate the probability of failure/risk part of the risk score- develop better understanding of larger term failure - big ticket long term - I would never have unpredicted events or misunderstood events the data would

tell • I-robot

- automate repetitive task - let machine do what they do well- faster engineering analysis- retrospective automated causal analysis of events and upsets - automate problem identification gives more time for solution

• Minecraft- Mine MTA Bad actor- Mine MVA DB for high impact items and link to root cause automate this- Correlation based first principle

• Sensing- Early identification of control hardware problem- be able to tell when a transmitter gives false reading based on disagreement

with other indication- plant data transmitter vs correlated process variable- Understand instrumentation contribution

• Crystal Ball- CGH gasoline key parameter understanding Octane destruction vs temp., H2

PP vs S & Feed quality: what is going on main Fractionation, trade off effect on downstream

- Build catalyst deactivation model for predictive maintenance- Predictive analysis for slope of deactivation- visualize catalyst deactivation- HCU cloud pt prediction and control- Projected / predicted - CCU exchanger proactive monitoring of Fouling - Improve ability reverse production impacts

Process Plant Data Analytics / Performance Consulting30

Graphic from “Big Data Industry Insights”, Lisa Kart, Gartner webinar, 2015.

• The goal of analytics is to provide information for improved decisions and actions for economic benefit.

• Note that maximizing automation and minimizing human input are not always the goals → analytics should be suited to the use case.

• Key Questions:1. What is the underlying business issue and

value to the customer?In terms of Question, Decision, and Action

2. What data do you need in order to answer the question? Which data do we have? What new do we need?

3. How will you use the answer?Insight only? Part of a business workflow?

Performance Improvement via Analytics - Best PracticesProof of Concept Approach

• Key to success is to have a well defined scope & desired outcome- Need to have answers to the 3 questions

• Data analytics projects are often underestimated. - Start with a reasonable impact but low complexity candidate

• Outcome data is very important, but is also sometimes overlooked. E.g. if we want to mine data and train models for faults, then the time & cause of faults must be present in the historical data.

• Complexity increases with the number of data sources integrated.• A good project will consist of a Honeywell SME(s), data analytics expert(s), and a site SME(s).

Facilitation is important.• Domain knowledge and amount of data are complementary.

- If you have only a handful of outcome events (eg asset failures) then you need to incorporate human insight.• Plan that ~80% of the project is spent wrangling data and ~20% on the analytics.• Especially for larger projects – take an iterative approach.

- Discover quickly whether question is feasible. If not then stop or pivot.

Proof of Concept Approach: Fuel Flooding 33

Develop a deep understanding of the relevant data sources, including:• Relevant data

sources, including fuel/gas data, pressure data, alarm data, sensor data, operational data, repair data

• Current workflow, including data gathering, monitoring and intervention

• Measure the completeness and veracity of each source

• Develop rules for handling missing, incomplete, and uncertain data

• Identify or construct unique keys to link data sets

• Load data and conduct statistical quality checks

Build the Data Ecosystem

Create independent variables using the data ecosystem.• The variables will

include raw information, such as fuel/gas data, pressure data, sensor data

• Continue building new variables with feedback from customer and as modeling develops

Engineer Variables for

ModelingCreate data visualization of data ecosystem to visualize insights from data profiling• Explore initial

insights from data profiling

• Present and discuss findings with customer to help shape analytical modeling

Create Data Visualization

Employ one or more class of analytical models to build new, machine-generated alerts:• Identify the target• Choose analytical

technique(s)• Conduct variable

selection to choose the most predictive variables

• Iteratively train and evaluate the models on the training and test sets

Create and Train Analytical

Models Develop a high-level work plan for expanding and operationalizing the results of the project:• Operationalizing

data aggregation, model refresh, etc.

• Deploying machine-generated predictive scoring into current customer workflow

Develop High-Level Roll-Out

Plan

Identify Existing Data Sources

Engagement begins with a face-to-face kick-off meeting to align on project approach
