THE PRESENT AND FUTURE OF MES

1 1 THE PRESENT AND FUTURE OF MES IN A CHANGING IT LANDSCAPE Dennis Brandl Mike James

2 2 THE CHANGING IT LANDSCAPE Everything is in The Cloud It s all about Big Data The future is BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) and Apps The future is usually a surprise

3 CLOUDS Computing is rapidly becoming a utility Major hardware and expense savings Often 1/3 to 1/10 the cost of dedicated servers Failover, redundancy, backup, scalability, patching, upgrades, No more exotic than electricity, water, lighting, phone Networks are just plumbing Request it, don t need to over justify it, delivered within hours or days 3

4 4 THE STORM CLOUDS Anything in the cloud is not private You don t know where your data is You don t know where your application is executing In a public cloud, anywhere in the world Private clouds will grow in use Just like private water, power, phones, Manufacturing will use a lot of private clouds For control of data For 100% or % availability

5 5 CLOUD GET THE BASICS RIGHT FIRST Your MES will run in the cloud (along with a lot of other Level 3 applications) Your Advanced process control modeling will run in the cloud Basically everything except your PLCs and DCSs will run in a public or private cloud So, get the basics right first Fast deployment, minimal approvals Fast scale-up Fast support

6 6 BIG DATA Operations already has big data Terabytes of sensor readings and equipment states But, data without context has limited value How do we find the 1MB of useful INFORMATION in the 1TB historian DATA? Find the hidden %

7 INFORMATION AS THE KEY TO PRODUCTIVITY 7 Productivity is optimized by doing the most efficient activity, at the most effective time, by the most effective person That requires information Information is DATA + CONTEXT Information to make better decisions based on more than gut feelings and limited experience Information that is reviewed, analyzed and verified

8 8 BIG DATA - CONTEXTUALIZED Context is Jobs and steps in jobs Batches and steps (operations, phases) in batches We need the tools in operations that provide the context for big data MES & Batch systems These systems will be mission critical for manufacturing operations

9 BYOD Bring Your Own Device Everyone has one! Becoming an indispensable tool for everyone It s our interface to the coworkers, friends, boss, vendors, clients, It s our interface to our car, house, Why not our production floor? all these things now fit in your POCKET 9

10 10 YOUR HANDHELD DEVICE Today s smartphone replaces phones, cameras, GPS devices, video recorders, audio recorders, media players, Internet browsers, interface, compasses, maps, language translation devices, phone books, heart rate sensors, calculators, sound meters, thermometers, remote control devices, bar code scanners, and other devices too numerous to list When combined with additional sensors, the smartphone becomes a tool for medical analysis, electronic signal analysis, infrared sensing analysis, and radar, to name just a few applications

11 11 BYOD - THE NEXT STEPS Our Expectations - The Star Trek Effect BYOD should know Who we are Where we are What we can do Be aware of the context (red alert.) Provide assistance & situational awareness

12 12 BYOD AND APP STORES Everyone has one Everyone seems to have a different one Company App stores with the approved apps that can be loaded for use in operations Auto update Limited rights Subscription/service model

13 13 BYOD Your Level 3 systems must work with BYOD Android Various versions iphone Various versions Windows 8 Maybe Running approved Apps If you are semi-regulated or Running on company supplied smart device If you are highly regulated

14 14 LOOK TO THE FUTURE First look at the past Growing productivity for hundreds (thousands) of years No indication that the growth in productivity is significantly slowing Each cycle of growth is fueled by technology innovation Stone, bronze, iron, wind/water, coal/steam, gasoline, electronics,

15 15 WE ARE THE FUTURE There are more people alive now than ever before The average and mean standard of living around the world is higher now than ever before There are more scientists and engineers alive and practicing than even before

16 16 SOME THOUGHTS ON THE FUTURE It takes decades for a cycle of growth to reach most industries Today only 10%-20% of manufacturing companies are effectively using IT in manufacturing They are seeing 30%-40% productivity advantages They are improving productivity at twice the rate of other companies The current cycle of productivity will last for at least another decade

17 17 WHAT S NEXT Change is often unexpected The watermill The printing press The railroad The telegraph The automobile/truck gasoline engine The Internet The???? A Prediction It s our children s generation that will find the discover the next big thing
