Abbott’s nutrition business, a division of the global healthcare company,

manufactures a wide variety of science-based

nutrition products. These range from Similac

brand infant formula to adult nutrition brands

such as Ensure. Recently, ARC had the opportunity

to speak with James Li, an engineering

manager in the Abbott Nutrition division. We

discussed how the company uses Big Data and

analytics to improve manufacturing productivity.

Avangrid Renewables, Seeq

Overview

Avangrid Renewables is a subsidiary of AVANGRID, Inc., and part of the

IBERDROLA Group. Spain-based Iberdrola S.A. is the largest wind energy

company in the world. As ARC Advisory Group recently learned, the company

collects a wide variety of data from many different sources. However,

in the past it faced challenges when it came to gaining

useful insight from these data. Particularly

problematic, was the difficulty determining and

documenting lost generation across its wind turbine

fleet time due to voluntary generation

curtailment to meet contractual obligations. Inability

to do so, can lead to lost revenues.

Overview

The prime reason most industrial plants still have internal, on-site mainte-nance staffs is to reduce repair times and unplanned downtime, which negatively impact revenue, customer satisfaction, cost, and other key busi-ness metrics. In most plants today, contracting with the equipment manufacturer for maintenance usually results in unacceptably long periods of downtime for critical equipment while waiting for a technician to arrive – particularly with the typi-cal two passes required for inspection and repair.

However, emerging Industrial IoT (IIoT)-enabled condition monitoring and predictive maintenance approaches allow manufacturers to re-consider outsourcing to the OEM. Faced with the current skills shortage and other constraints, many will find OEM supplier-provided services appealing.

Process manufacturing organizations run on data—from a manufacturing, operations, and business perspective.

The data generation and collection strategies at the center of manufacturing processes have evolved dramatically, especially in recent years. Process manufacturers now collect and store huge volumes of data throughout their operations, both on and off premise, across multiple geographic locations, in an increasing number of separate data silos.

更多

These advances have coincided with the proliferation of connected sensors and increasingly inexpensive storage, leading to an Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) projected to generate more than 4 trillion gigabytes of data per year by 2020, according to IDC Research.

Data analytics solutions have a huge positive impact on the growing volumes of data in many sectors, from retail to finance. So why aren’t these solutions widely leveraged in process manufacturing? With so much data and the promise of so many new technologies, why is it so difficult to apply these technologies to process manufacturing and gain the same benefits as other sectors?

Seeq is a visual analytics solution for process manufacturing data. Seeq’s multiple applications enable users to rapidly investigate and share insights from data stored in enterprise data historians and contextual data sources. Typical tasks benefitting from Seeq include data wrangling, production analytics, and reporting.

Seeq Workbench is an application that includes data visualization, data modeling, and interactive tools for diagnostic, monitoring, predictive and descriptive analytics. Features include Google-like search, knowledge capture and collaboration, and integration with modern business intelligence applications.

Seeq Organizer is used to create documents which assemble analyses and visualizations into reports, presentations, and meeting agendas. Organizer documents are dynamic because they tie directly to the underlying data, and are “time relative”

so they can be defined by any batch, shift, day, etc.
