Failure to comply may result in two major repercussions:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Slow adopters will see themselves lagging behind competitors<\/li>\n<li>Late adopters may see a rise in the prices to install these new technologies<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>IIOT, or the Industrial Internet of Things, is not a new term. Regrettably, many companies are still not developing sound approaches to adopt them.<\/p>\n<p>Take for example refineries. Traditional data analytics such as spreadsheets are still being used to analyze processes and trends; using historic data to make operational decisions.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/www.phoenixcontact.com\/assets\/images_ed\/local_sg\/web_content_2col\/pic_con2_sg_0019273_int.jpg\" alt=\"Interior of process plant\" width=\"440\" height=\"332\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Refineries store millions of databases and at times it becomes challenging for engineers to extract information from a cesspool of data. To make matters worse, varying branches of the organization may utilize foreign systems which proved difficult when systems needs integration.<br \/>\nAs a result, refineries are considered to be data rich but in hindsight, information poor.<\/p>\n<h3>I&#8217;ve got 99 problems<\/h3>\n<p>In a traditional data-analytic methodology, it is acceptable for engineers to find themselves stranded with missing data. <strong>The solution? <\/strong>Most rely on \u201cExperience\u201d or so-called intuition to solve their engineering woes and make \u201cinformed\u201d decisions. Guilty as it might seem, ask any engineer who have worked in refineries and they might just confess to using this &#8216;archaic&#8217; technique.<\/p>\n<p>Refineries of the future (or refineries who will sustain in the future) will need to change a different tack towards how they organize their data. Engineers can employ advance data analytics to analyze and make comparisons to several vital parameters (such as temperature, pressure reading and flow data) that makes use of varying systems that have diverse data formats, all in real time.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.phoenixcontact.com\/assets\/images_ed\/global\/web_content_2col_mobile\/pic_con2_a_0068066_int.jpg\" alt=\"Smart factory\" width=\"440\" height=\"440\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Advance data analytics can run audits and identify data correlation among the different results and in any case if a deviation in the results of the data were to emerge, engineers will be notified immediately, in real time.<\/p>\n<p>For example, it is common for an instrument\u2019s pressure reading to fluctuate. Instrument\u2019s pressure reading could also irregularly plunge due to ordinary situations such as a spike in production. However, leakages along the pipeline could also cause pressure readings to drop.<br \/>\nWith advance data analytics, engineers are able to determine if such major shifts are justified.<\/p>\n<h3>Easier Said than Done?<\/h3>\n<p>Adopting new technology always come with anxieties. It is always easier said than done. Although the idea of running advanced data analytics may seem ideal, it is not without its challenges.<\/p>\n<p>In order for all the varying hardware to get connected, it has to comply with a single universal format that allows data to be unified. This might be expensive if you need to hook up current legacy hardware to new technologies that may not have the compatible specifications to begin with.<\/p>\n<h3>IIOT Connectivity Made Easy<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/www.phoenixcontact.com\/assets\/images_ed\/local_sg\/web_content_3col\/pic_con3_sg_0019288_int.jpg\" alt=\"IIOT structure\" width=\"676\" height=\"314\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now, who says out with the old and in with the new?
