he technologies associated with the Industrial Internet of
Things, and the benefits that can be attained from them, are
topics that are frequently described in the pages of Chemical
Engineering. Finding and implementing the best new technologies
for an application takes focus, insight and often the willingness
to take a chance on a new approach. Last month, at the Connected
Plant Conference (www.connectedplantconference.com), 11 individuals
and teams were recognized for their roles in moving the dial toward
digitalization in the chemical process and energy industries. The
" Game Changers, " listed below include innovators, problem solvers
and fast risers or champions in digitalization.
Jonathan Alexander, Albemarle Corporation - Alexander initiated
and managed the transformation of two specialty chemical plants
within Albemarle by successfully implementing realtime analytics.
He involved operators and supervisors in selecting which process
variables to analyze and how to respond to analytics-based signals.
Amber Hayton, Royal Dutch Shell - Hayton has been leading development
activities for digitalization of Shell's learning portfolio. Expert
knowledge is being captured and digitalized via a virtual-reality
learning platform, which is being built for both local and cloud use to
make it globally applicable.
Nexceris Sensors Group - This group's innovative sensor monitors
emissions from lithium-ion batteries that indicate when the battery
is faulty.
It can cut the current to the battery before it starts
a fire, making it a very useful safety tool for energy storage - an
ever-growing application.
Robinson Castillo, Florida Power & Light Co. - Castillo was a
pioneer in spearheading the use of wireless technology in the power
industry at a time when it was new and met with much skepticism.
Joan Knight and Grant Brummels, Exelon - Knight and Brummels
led the implementation of GE Predix, as well as other digital initiatives
in Exelon's nuclear and fossil generation businesses.
Ted Gutierrez, SecurityGate - This company has developed a software
platform that simplifies cyber risk assessments so that users can
focus on mitigating cyber risks rather than finding them.
Johnny Howze III, Georgia Power Co. - Howze has been pioneering
turning Plant Scherer, the largest coal-fired plant in the U.S., into
the connected plant of the future. His vision is based on two principles:
the need to prepare the workforce of tomorrow; and the need
for a digitized plant and processes.
Asset Management Office, Nova Scotia Power - Through their
efforts in digitalization, this office has been able to provide its fleet of
power-generation plants with insight about potential problems and to
help with capital planning and investment decisions.
ProAxion, Inc. - This innovative startup developed a system that
simplifies the process of measuring, transmitting and analyzing vibration
and temperature data for remote monitoring of rotating machines.
Michael Reid, Duke Energy - Reid oversees
technical programs for Duke Energy where data
analytics are being used for everything from routine
to predictive maintenance.
Leo Simonovich, Siemens Energy - Simonovich
is responsible for the direction of cybersecurity efforts
for Siemens Energy, with an emphasis on global critical
infrastructure, and has been a leader with Siemens
global Charter of Trust cybersecurity framework. ■
