IOT – a little background

2

INTERNET OF THINGS – A global infrastructure for

the information society, enabling advanced services

by interconnecting (physical and virtual) things

based on existing and evolving interoperable

information and communication technologies.

Why should we care?

IOT in the gas industry

Does that mean we are already done with IIOT?

• AMR – Automated Meter Reading has been a

standard for gas distribution companies for over a

decade

• Totalizer values, alarms and warnings from gas

stations / pipelines can be read out remotely in

central control rooms

• Sophisticated diagnostic software for different meter

types is available free of charge from the vendors

4


Some of the challenges for gas companies

• Low oil / gas prices creating difficult market

environment

• Operator efficiency a key metric, need to reduce

operating expenditures to stay competitive

• Requriements from the regulatory bodies

(e.g. recalibration cycles for meters, safety standards)

• Changing workforce

(Millennials with new requirements, seasoned

engineers retiring)

• Flood of new offerings causing an overload of

information

5


How can Honeywell‘s IIOT offerings help?

Making sense of data is key

• First things first: relevant data is available most of the time

• Honeywell‘s goal is to make it easier to make use of the data in a

simple way

• We do this by developing intuitive mobile apps for workers in the

field to service and manage assets

• We do this be creating a software suite that not only regularly pulls

and stores relevant diagnostic data in a secure cloud but also

helps measurement engineers detect problems before they occur

MeasconTM for

Gas Transmission

If you are measuring, you‘re always wrong!

Meascon helps to keep uncertainty as low as possible

14

Three meters, all will have different

readings, but they can all be „right“.

Come visit the

full 3D replica in

the demo room!


Maintenance strategy

Meascon enables CBM

• Traditional time-based maintenance (TBM)

- At regular time intervals (irrespective of the necessity of

the maintenance)

• Risk based maintenance (RBM)

- Subject to the demonstration of a satisfactory level of

stability, these frequencies were relaxed on an

instrument-by-instrument basis

• Condition-based maintenance (CBM)

- Only when needed. Maintenance is performed after one

or more indicators show that equipment is going to fail or

that equipment performance is deteriorating.

Meascon™ - remote diagnostics

16

Offering MeasconTM

Meascon provides a diagnostic

dashboard that offers real-time overall

view of gas stations and automates

24/7 condition based monitoring of the

measurement system. It continuously

validates your metering system to

reduce risk and cut long term costs of

ownership (TCO). D
