What worked for Industry 3.0 will not likely enable the transformation. This presentation will address the goals of a digital transformation strategy\, the steps needed in order to transform and most importantly\, the architecture required to be successful. \nDavid Schultz has 25 years of automation and process control experience across many market verticals\, with a focus on continuous and batch processing. Expertise with multiple layers of the automation stack including sensors\, SCADA and MES and cloud. He currently works with manufacturers to help them develop and execute strategies for their industrial transformation and asset management efforts.

SUMMARY:March 2021 Technical Meeting
DESCRIPTION:[et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”3.22″ global_module=”225192″][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.25″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.8.0″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”] \nMost calibration technicians follow long-established procedures at their facility that have not evolved with instrumentation technology. Years ago\, maintaining a performance specification of ±1% of span was difficult\, but today’s instrumentation can easily exceed that level on an annual basis. In some instances\, technicians are using old test equipment that does not meet new technology specifications. This paper focuses on establishing base line performance testing where analysis of testing parameters (mainly tolerances\, intervals and test point schemes) can be analyzed and adjusted to meet optimal performance. Risk considerations will also be discussed – regulatory\, safety\, quality\, efficiency\, downtime and other critical parameters. A good understanding of these variables will help in making the best decisions on how to calibrate plant instrumentation and how to improve outdated practices. \nNed has been promoting and developing best practices for calibration management for over 25 years. He contributed to “The Engineer’s Guide to Industrial Temperature Measurement”. Ned consults on calibration best practices and provides technical support to Beamex customers as well as the sales team in the United States. \nVirtual Event! \nWe will be hosting this meeting Virtually!  Details to join the meeting will be distributed to registered attendees the day before the meeting.  You must register to get a link to the event.  Note the presentation will start at 7:00 pm. \n[/et_pb_text][et_pb_code admin_label=”Code” _builder_version=”4.8.0″ _module_preset=”default”] \nRegister Now!Buy Tickets on Eventbrite   \n\n  \n[/et_pb_code][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]

Diane R. Barkin has completed the 3rd edition of Start-up: A Technician’s Guide which is part of a series of books ISA offers control systems technicians (CST) to prepare for CST certification at levels 1\, 2 or 3. Diane was able to write this book after over 30 years of experience in plant operation\, process and project engineering\, plant automation (system design and development of control strategies) and project management. She is proficient with control systems supplied by Honeywell (TDC and Experion)\, Schneider Electric (Foxboro I/A)\, and Emerson (DeltaV). \nHer book prepares all personnel for the high-pressure demands and fast-emerging challenges by familiarizing them with the entire process from initial planning meetings through final testing and documentation\, as well as the interactions between disciplines involved\, safety considerations\, and regulatory requirements. Besides being important for CCST certification\, this book can be used by those seeking to understand the ins and outs of plant start-up operations and management. At our meeting today we will discuss real world start-up situations and the importance of safety\, procedures and coordination to ensure a safe and efficient start-up. \nDiane R. Barkin\, serves as President and Senior Automation Specialist at Harris Automation Services\, Inc.\, a Houston-based company that offers a full line of control system services including: automation project engineering and management; design\, specification\, order\, programming\, and training; and assistance with construction and start-up. HAS\, Inc\, is entering its 23rd year of business. Diane served as President and Activities Coordinator of the largest Foxboro users group\, the Gulf Coast Foxboro I/A Users Group\, for 10 years and has a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Pittsburgh. \nISA Technical Library – CCST Resource Library – Check out available resources HERE! \nVirtual Event! \nWe will be hosting this meeting Virtually!  Details to join the meeting will be distributed to registered attendees the day before the meeting.  You must register to get a link to the event.  Note the presentation will start at 7:00 pm. \n[/et_pb_text][et_pb_code admin_label=”Code” _builder_version=”4.7.7″ _module_preset=”default”] \nRegister Now!Buy Tickets on Eventbrite   \n\n  \n[/et_pb_code][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]
