The process industries face many pressures, such as meeting production targets, minimizing costs, and maximizing product quality. In addition, manufacturers must adhere to increasing governmental safety and environmental compliance regulations. A data-driven strategy is needed to enable operations, maintenance, and ...
In a recent survey 95% of executives confirmed they are planning at least one IoT project. Numerous challenges exist in these projects and Cisco and OSIsoft have teamed up to help simplify these types of initiatives. The Cisco Kinetic and Cisco IOx platform provide a single framework to provision devices, manage applications and data collection, all within a unified security framework. In this session we will review this joint capability and showcase three success stories that were deployed in a matter of weeks. You will come away with a clear understanding of how to get started and what can be achieved.

Columbia Pipeline Group (CPG) is one of the largest Natural Gas Pipeline companies in North America. CPG first focused their EA on improving pipeline compression reliability with their “Enterprise Reliability” program presented at several prior UCs. CPGs next focus is on optimizing the natural gas storage with advanced demand forecasting and gas quality management to support proactive and predictive analytics to guide the storage inject/withdrawal decisions to optimize their natural gas value chain. Key to this strategic initiative is the use of the PI System 2015 PI AF based advanced analytics, future data, and integrators to demand forecasting models.

As a result of domestic natural gas production development utilizing advanced technology, extensive US market expansion continues to accelerate creating stable and historic low gas pricing. For the first time ever, natural gas rivals coal as the dominant fuel source for power generation in North America. In order to compete at a high level and meet the demands of this dynamic environment, Columbia Pipeline Group (CPG) must operate safely and efficiently with a high degree of reliability each and every day. One step in improving the reliability of our system is the Enterprise Agreement with OSIsoft. The CPG Enterprise Analytics system leverages our agreement with OSI and the suite of leading technology tools and support. In conjunction with tools from Microsoft and Transpara, we are analyzing real time data to enable the execution of proactive actions intended to avoid a negative event entirely or minimize the impact of such an event. Having the capability to detect these potential failures early provides tremendous value to CPG and gives leaders the ability to develop action plans around potential failures, resulting in reduced downtime and repair costs. Our suite of tools provides a level of capability and awareness never before seen at CPG. This new flexibility to access data from the office or remotely through mobile devices will improve response time and productivity by turning compression asset data into targeted actions.
