CONTENTS

Industrial Internet :-

• It is integration of complex physical machinery with networked sensors and software.

• The industrial Internet draws together fields including the Internet of things and machine-to-machine communication to ingest data from machines, analyze it (often in real-time), and use it to adjust operations.

INTRODUCTION

NEED OF INDUSTRIAL INTERNET

According to Jon Bruner :-

“ The big machines that define modern life – cars, airplanes, furnaces, and so forth have become exquisitely efficient, safe, and

responsive for the last century through constant mechanical refinement but mechanical refinement has its limits, and there are enormous improvements to be wrung out of the way that big machines are operated; and efficient furnace is still wasteful if it heats a building that no one is using ; a safe car is still dangerous in the hands of bad driver”.

“ It is now challenge that industrial internet promises to address by layering smart software on top of machines.”

• The system can even enable dealers to forecast impending maintenance issues & schedule repairs before there is a breakdown.

ELEMENTS OF INDUSTRIAL INTERNET

BENEFITS OF INDUSTRIAL INTERNETMachine connectivity forms the backbone of the Industry Internet.

A vast computer network using the same set of communications

protocols to handle large amount of data.

Analyze industrial big data for actionable information.

Run operations from anywhere, on any device.

Engage and collaborate in cloud communities to solve business

problems together.

Increase speed and accuracy of intelligence.

Capture and transfer knowledge easily between your people, systems

and sites.

INFLUENCE OF INDUSTRIAL INTERNET ON COMPANIES

• Several companies are taking advantage of advances in data acquisition, transmission & analysis to enhance their control of operations.

• It is not actually an internet for machines, systems like the industrial internet do give machines a voice. Heeding what they say can save a company’s money.

Some U.S based companies are:

John Deere

General Electric

First Wind

JOHN DEERE• Deere & Company, as brand name John Deere, is an American corporation based in Moline, Illinois.

• It is one of the largest manufacturers of agricultural machinery in the world.

• The company's slogan is "Nothing Runs Like a Deere”.

• The company’s products are:

Agricultural products

Construction equipment

Forestry equipment

Diesel engines & Drive trains

Industrial Internet in John Deere• Owners of John Deere farm equipment benefit from the company’s

JDLink monitoring system, which tracks operations in real time and includes GPS information all instantly available in the cab.

• This system links sensors to a network gives owners a way to gather data like vibration, voltage, sound, temperature or electrical output

from machines.

• This type of analog data, previously inaccessible or hard to measure, lets owners monitor machine health.

• It also allows a JD Dealer – with a farmer’s permission- to remotely peer inside the machine and diagnose upcoming issues.

Different Objectives accomplished by Industrial Internet :-

Peak efficiency achieved

Enables farmer to track fuel use & m/c performance

Globally assessable

Diagnose upcoming m/c issues

Enable farmer to store crop production data like moisture & yield

Keeps m/c data confidential

Forecast fertilizer quantity

Recommends future equipment up gradation

SCADA in JDLink • SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) is a system operating

with coded signals over communication channels so as to provide control of remote equipment.

• The supervisory system may be combined with a data acquisition system by adding the use of coded signals over communication channels to acquire information about the status of the remote equipment for display or for recording functions.

• According to Bradicich :-

“JD moves SCADA beyond a single manufacturing floor for a single use in the field. When analog information can be collected in a cloud system or a private network, The SCADA type scale grows exponentially and so do its uses”.

GENERAL ELECTRIC

• GE, is an American multinational corporation in New York, U.S.

• The company operates through the following segments:

- Energy

- Technology Infrastructure

- Capital Finance

• GE Intelligent Platforms provides industrial software, control systems

and embedded computing platforms to optimize our customer’s

assets & equipment.

• Our goal is to help our customers grow the profitability of their

businesses through high-performance solutions facilitated by the

Industrial Internet.

According to John Magee, chief marketing officer :

“savings can be found by monitoring and analyzing data from

long – lived assets like generators, turbines and aircraft in order to find

ways to increase productivity and save money by cutting fuel costs or

storing energy”.

Rise of Industrial Internet

Over the last 200 years, the world has experienced several waves of innovation.Successful companies learned to navigate these waves and adapt to the changingenvironment. Today we are at the cusp of another wave of innovation that promises to change the way we do business and interact with the world of industrial machines.

FIRST WIND

• First Wind is an independent North American renewable

energy company focused on the development, financing,

construction, ownership and operation of utility-scale power projects in

the United States.

• It is one of GE’s Industrial Internet customer, who has recently added

more sensors to its turbine to measure temperature, wind speeds and

locations and pitch of blades.

• Software collects and analyzed the data, enabling the operation of

each turbine to be observed moment-by-moment in response to the

data.

Contd..

• The advanced monitoring capabilities

allow project owners to target problems

faster, diagnose issues fully before a

technician arrives, and isolate

maintenance with fewer disruptions to

the overall wind farm.

• In winter, the analysis might show that the turbine blades are icing up,

and the corrective measures, such as speeding the turbine up or

changing the pitch of blades, could be taken.

• First wind of Boston, owns 16 wind farms in US.

Role of GE’s Technology in First Wind

• Using GE’s Wind CONTROL, turbine owners can earn back power that may

have been lost due to inefficient controls for meeting curtailment.

• The software automatically controls the output of each wind turbine in the

wind farm.

• The more precise regulation of power not only meets requirements despite

wind variation but also allows the wind turbines to run more efficiently and

reliably without compromising grid stability.

• By avoiding the continual stop and start of the turbines for power

regulation, GE`s Wind CONTROL eases the stresses on the wind turbines

and helps to extend the life of turbine components.

SECURITY ISSUES Favour- Human safety

- Firewall & VPN assures personal data security.

- Connected infrastructure generally operates within tightly defined

networks - consistent transmission and control patterns

- Easier to apply deep packet inspection

Against

- Adding software on top of machines and connecting them to networks

creates tempting targets for malicious hackers.

- The inherent scalability of software means that a single exploit can

propagate fast.

- Threat of access to the network segments hosting devices.

- Modern infrastructure may be crucial to public health and safety.

CONCLUSION

Innovation has always been the single most powerful ingredient

to help us create more with less, to ease constraints, to generate

improving living standards for larger and larger numbers of

people.

The Industrial Internet holds the potential to drive the next

wave of innovation for the world by pushing even further the

boundaries of minds and machines.

• US is planning to become early adopter of this revolution, by

improving its infrastructure.

• If the US can secure a 1.5 percentage points acceleration in

productivity growth, and the rest of the world achieves just

half

that increase, within the next twenty years the Industrial

Internet will have added to the global economy an additional

$15 trillion i.e about the size of the US economy today.

.

FUTURE SCOPE

• We estimate that the Industrial Internet could add $2.8 Trillion

to Europe’s GDP by 2030—this is close to one-quarter of the

current size of the Euro Area’s economy. Over the next 15

years, an increase in efficiency of just 1%, could deliver

savings of $15 billion each in the power and healthcare

sectors, $6 billion in rail, $10 billion in oil and gas; and $9

billion in aviation.
