IIoT and Remote O&M  will Change all 
the Flow and Treat Markets
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) will provide a myriad of instant white 
papers about each flow and treat product in each process, in each plant in each 
industry. The conclusions from the IIoT results will be the basis of future 
purchasing decisions.
The purchasing process will radically change not only because of IIoT, but 
because of electronic rather than personal information transfer. Mobile 
communications and many new ways for individuals to instantly investigate and 
communicate are already changing the marketing landscape.
The Industrial Internet of Wisdom (IIoW) will empower IIoT and further serve the 
instant investigatory demands of the purchaser. IIOW interconnects people and 
organizes knowledge. The desired investment in IIoW is even bigger than in IIoT. 
The four knowledge needs:  Alerts, 
Answers, Analysis, and Advancement can be supplied in a cost effective manner.
The McIlvaine 
Industrial IoT and Remote O&M 
provides the road map for 
flow and treat suppliers and their collaborators to pursue this fast growing 
market.
Pharmaceutical IIoT and Remote O&M Webinar on June 28 is a Work in Progress
This webinar will build on the 13 webinars conducted in the last few months. We 
will discuss why the pharmaceutical technical and regulatory needs are unique 
and then discuss a marketing plan to focus on the largest international 
pharmaceutical companies. We will also address the needs in the rapidly growing 
generics production market in Asia.  
How is the pharmaceutical market unique? Andrew Whytock, of Siemens was recently 
quoted as to why IIoT will be particularly important to pharma. He said
the key distinguishing feature of the pharma 
industry is the requirement to document and record everything that happens 
during production for compliance reasons. IIoT could therefore become a catalyst 
for paperless production, as equipment and recipe parameters become more closely 
connected and available, meaning less manual interventions could be required. 
Melissa Topp, and Oliver Gruner, of ICONICS believe the most exciting benefits 
center on real-time monitoring and control, optimized decision making, reduced 
costs, and improved patient outcomes. Part of the reason this has all become 
possible is because advances in sensors and IIoT gateway devices have made them 
much more affordable.
In many ways the challenges are the same as the chemical industry which was the 
subject of the last webinar. Relative to IIoW, we used the distillation example 
and the fact that Honeywell has extensive training courses for distillation 
operators. This can be expanded into higher level on-line training. The example 
of mechanical vapor recompression and some of the McIlvaine findings were 
reviewed. 
We are contacting process equipment, valve, and pump companies to better 
understand the potential opportunities. In one case the outlet valve on a 
reactor is fitted with sensors which transmit not just flow data but process 
parameters. The advantages of incorporating these sensors in the valve rather 
than in a dedicated intrusion point in the vessel are listed.
We encourage you to supply us with relevant data on the success of your products 
in pharma IIoT. We can evaluate and include new data received until June 26.
Marketing Plan for Chemical Industry IIoT Explained
The recording of this June 7 webinar shown at
https://youtu.be/mP5fFnHLoCs reviewed the IIoT offerings of 
software, analytics, component and treatment chemical suppliers with specific 
case histories including:  E+H flow 
monitors and Samson valves in BASF 4.0 system preventative maintenance systems; 
Rockwell automation at Syngenta Crop Protection and Whitmore Lubricants; 
Schneider Electric Intelatrac at 120 sites; Nalco 24/7 remote monitoring and 
coverage of products by Accenture, GE, Honeywell, IBM, Linde, McKinsey 
Microsoft, Siemens and Yokogawa. 
The webinar provided analysis of the coming $24 billion market and the 
individual potential at the 20 largest chemical companies. Over 30 slides are 
devoted to just three of the top 20 (BASF No. l, Dow-DuPont - the soon to be No. 
1 - and Covestro No. 20). The success of Emerson Delta V at Covestro was 
reported  
A marketing plan supported by plant and process details and mobile communication 
links to the people was supplied.  
In the case of BASF names and titles of some 20 key decision makers relative to 
Industry 4.0 were provided just using information from LinkedIn and the BASF 
publications. LinkedIn provides detailed information on decision makers. It is 
relatively easy to look at the biographies and responsibilities and then connect 
with the chosen people. There are thousands of contacts at each large chemical 
company.

To illustrate the availability of plant and process data, examples of a number 
of plants and processes for Dow Chemical in the U.S. were used. The conclusion 
is that any supplier can develop a powerful instant communication program with 
his potential customers.

												Ultrapure Water
												
												
												- Power plants use ultrapure 
												water to make steam, 
												semiconductor manufacturers to 
												wash chips and pharmaceutical 
												manufacturers for making drugs 
												for human injection.  
												Purifying water to meet these 
												rigid requirements requires 
												complex processes and expensive 
												chemicals.  IIoT and Remote 
												O&M provide the opportunity to 
												better maintain water quality 
												while reducing operating costs.  
												Since the manufacturing 
												environments are also complex it 
												will be necessary to integrate 
												ultrapure water IIoT with the 
												plant wide IIoT.  Remote 
												monitoring is already routine 
												for gas turbine generation plant 
												operators. So adding ultrapure 
												water is a logical progression. 
												Coal fired and nuclear power 
												plants, chip makers and 
												pharmaceutical producers are 
												going to embrace IIoT and will 
												be expecting the contribution of 
												the Industrial Internet of 
												Wisdom (IIoW) by ultrapure water 
												system and component suppliers. |

												Cleanrooms
												
												
												- Semiconductor, pharmaceutical 
												and other manufacturers need 
												ultraclean environments. The 
												webinar covered the opportunity 
												for continuous remote monitoring 
												of recirculating air and water 
												used in critical processes along 
												with development of smarter mini 
												environments and better sensors 
												to track personnel activity and 
												contamination. It also be 
												covered activities of individual 
												companies as illustrated from 
												some of the headlines in a 
												recent Mcilvaine IIoT and Remote 
												Monitoring Newsletter --Vaisala

												Air Pollution Control 
												- The basis for a $60 billion 
												2030 IIoT forecast is explained. 
												Continuous emissions monitoring 
												systems are now required in many 
												industries in many countries.  
												Typically minute by minute 
												emissions of each pollutant are 
												transmitted to owners as well as 
												enforcement agencies. There is a 
												huge potential to integrate the 
												information from these systems 
												with combustion and other 
												process optimization systems to 
												operate plants based on both 
												total economic and environmental 
												cost of ownership.  
												Mcilvaine provides insights 
												based on analyses included 
												in World FGD Market, NOx Control 
												World Markets, World Fabric 
												Filter & Elements Market, 
												Electrostatic Precipitator World 
												Market. Remote operation and 
												maintenance of electrostatic 
												precipitators is well 
												established and successful. This 
												success is a model for other 
												IIoT initiatives and is examined 
												in detail. |
