maintenance instructions, among
others. The larger the facility, and
the more dispersed the resources
and assets are, the more valuable
mobile capabilities become. Mobile
technology is also economical, eliminates
paperwork, enhances compliance
and - because it is so pervasive
in everyday life - the learning
curve is far from steep.
The advantages of cloud deployments
are clear as well. Cloud-based
process-safety management enables
organizations to quickly roll out
new process-safety capabilities, and
can enhance collaboration between
individuals and departments. The
cloud can also reduce the costs of accessing
and integrating data, help
eliminate information silos and enable
cost-effective enterprise-wide
visibility. Importantly, the cloud is
also pivotal for transferring data in
a controlled and secure fashion.
Another key enabler is IE. Supported
by wireless-mesh networking
and secure communications
protocols, IE enables a flexible, responsive,
end-to-end networking architecture
that provides connectivity,
collaboration and integration. As
a result, data can be delivered from
the shop floor to the cloud, and then
from the cloud to a mobile device
efficiently and securely.
Operational integrity windows
The new imperative for CPI companies
is knowing with certainty
the source of the next incident, and
being able to avoid it or at least minimize
its effects. Regulatory agencies,
shareholders and employees
demand this. Doing this will require
the ability to:
* Reduce operational risk by unlocking
data for realtime insights
and enterprise-level visibility
* Examine the
" big
through enterprise-level benchmarking
and trend analyses to
guide safety strategies and keep
incidents at bay
* Trust the data by leveraging valipicture "
dation,
whether it is mobile data, or
data created automatically by instrumentation
and systems
* Receive instantaneous alerts on developing
issues through visualization
and alarm or alert technologies on top
of realtime analytic applications
*Use mobile and cloud technologies
to deploy and access data
from the point of work or the
process edge
* Implement realtime detection
and automated response to abnormal
conditions, be they partial
process impairment or emergency
shutdown events
* Have a single window into operational
integrity powered by dynamic
risk analysis and leveraging
existing risk data, automation
systems, maintenance and operations
procedures and business systems
for planning, scheduling and
cost control
When all these abilities fall into
place, a company can capitalize in
new ways on existing infrastructure
