Grab a Bigger Slice of the Combust, Flow and Treat Market Pie

The McIlvaine webinar on IIoT and Remote O&M this week used the Pulp and Paper industry as an example of changing markets and the route which suppliers can take to insure a bigger slice of a bigger and bigger pie.

You can examine the 150 slides in detail at: http://home.mcilvainecompany.com/images/IIoT_and_Remote_OM_in_the_Pulp_and_Paper_Industry.pdf

You will see support for the following conclusions.

IIoT & Remote O&M is going to change the market routes and increase the sales potential for combust, flow and treat products and services in 12 industries.

·        Process management systems will deliver lower costs and increased production

·        IIoW (wisdom) provided by suppliers will greatly improve results

·        The cloud analytics will provide continuous white papers on the performance of each component and be the basis for corporate purchasing

·        Money will be better spent on improving products than on promotion

·        Component suppliers will both compete and collaborate with the process management systems suppliers to supply the wisdom related software for the component

McIlvaine provides the tools to pursue this opportunity

·        The IIoT road map plus guide, control and measure product forecasts for 550 companies and for 12 industries are included in N031 Industrial IOT and Remote O&M

·        Forecasts for each specific component purchase for each of the 550 major purchasers are provided in specific market reports listed at MARKETS

·        Profiles of the 550 companies and sales programs are described at DATABASES

Renewable Energy IIoT and Remote O&M Webinar moved to September 13

McIlvaine tracks every wind, solar, biomass and hydro project.  Technology advancements such as combined heat and power plus the use of CO2 for indoor agriculture are analysed.  This industry knowledge will be used as a basis to chart the future of IIoT and Remote O&M.  Progress is rapid.  Duke formerly had remote O&M systems provided by multiple wind turbine suppliers.  All of this data is now analysed in one open platform cloud system.  Purchases of guide, control and measurement products by the top 70 power companies will also be discussed.

Remote monitoring and maintenance of wind turbines is well advanced and provides a template for similar initiatives for other products.  The diagnostic center of Siemens Wind Power Services in Brande, Denmark collects and evaluates all the operating data from more than 7,500 Siemens wind turbines all over the world.

Data is collected by the SCADA and Turbine Condition Monitoring (TCM) systems from Siemens. Whereas the SCADA system collects the turbines' electronic and mechanical data as well as information about the weather and power grids, TCM is a vibration recognition system. Each wind turbine nacelle contains up to nine sensors that measure the vibrations of the turbines' key components: the transmission case, the generator, and the main shaft bearing at the rotor blades. All Siemens wind turbines with an output of over two megawatts are equipped with TCM, which monitors them around the clock all year round.

Siemens engineers can remotely switch off the affected wind turbine and send someone for repair work. Remote diagnostics is especially important for dealing with faults that develop slowly over time. In some cases, Siemens engineers can detect defective main shaft bearings a whole year before they must be replaced. Thus, the experts from Siemens can anticipate damage before it makes itself felt. The center measures more than 2,500 anomalies every week. The 100 analysts at the facility investigate these error messages and transmit more than 100 early warnings to the service technicians every week. If a case is serious, the technicians go directly to the affected wind turbine to take care of the matter after the center in Brande has provided them all the information about the turbine and its operating history.  To register for this webinar click on Weekly IIoT Webinars.

550 Companies will spend $5.5 Billion for Macrofiltration Next Year

550 companies will spend $4 billion for macrofiltration equipment and $1.5 billion for cloths and belts in 2018.  This group will purchase more than 50 percent of the $9.5 billion total purchased by all companies.  McIlvaine has a number of market reports on filtration.  The macrofiltration segment includes filtration of larger particles from liquids.  The specific products are filter presses, belt filters, belt filter presses, drum filters, bag filters and granular media filters.

The forecasts by industry and product for all purchasers as well as individual forecasts for the top 550 companies are included in 

N006 Liquid Filtration and Media World Markets.

Here is an example of the forecasts for five food manufacturing companies.  The food segment represents only 5 percent of the total market. Food garners a higher percentage for filter presses but a lower percentage for granular media filters.

The municipal water segment includes substantial purchases of granular media filters.

The forecasts for the 550 individual purchasers indicate their use by continent. However, purchasing is becoming more centralized.  The trend toward IIoT and Remote O&M is allowing corporations to track performance of filters in all their plants and use data analytics to evaluate performance.  This important development is analyzed in  N031 Industrial IoT and Remote O&M.

Liquid, Powder and Gas Analyzer Market Forecasts for 550 Purchasers

In 2018 the pulp and paper industry will spend $220 million for analysers to measure gases, liquids and powders, (Including chips and fibers). These are instruments in continuous service or for periodic use to analyse processes.

The total market for these analysers for all industries will be over $4 billion in 2018.  Forecasts by industry and individually for 550 of the largest purchasers are included in N031 Industrial IoT and Remote O&M

The forecasts for each of the 550 companies include segmentation by type of medium (liquids, gases, powders).  Further segmentation is by use.  Pressure, flow, and temperature are segmented from contaminant and constituent analysis.

The analyzer suppliers are boosting revenues by including features to more accurately measure and communicate those measurements to remote monitoring centers.   Companies such as Yokogawa, ABB, and Emerson manufacture both the instruments and process management systems.  This gives them advantages in the new IIoT shaped world.

Other large suppliers are pursuing different strategies.  Hach division of Danaher has a good position in water measuring analyzers.  Their Chemtreat division supplies treatment chemicals while the Pall division supplies reverse osmosis units. This combined expertise allows measurement of membrane fouling and addition of chemicals to most efficiently operate the processes.

Other instrument suppliers are aligning themselves with process management system suppliers. Endress + Hauser is employing this strategy.
