TOWARDS INDUSTRY 4.0 —

#1 IT/OT CONVERGENCE, A DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION JOURNEY FOR AUTOMATION & CONTROL 80% of Manufacturers have not started their Digital Transformation Journey In Summary Digital transformation is a Journey, Not a project. Digital transformation in manufacturing is about Transforming the Business Operation by Leveraging Data that the manufacturing operations generate daily. The first step in the digital transformation journey towards Industry 4.0 is "Admitting that We Have a Problem". Integration and Interoperability in Industry 3.0 within ISA-95 framework, IT/OT Convergence towards Industry 4.0, and Strategizing the digital transformation journey. Automation to compute OEE. Automation based on Data, and the implementation of UNS. Field Devices, PLC, HMI, Ladder Logic Diagram Programming Language, SCADA, DCS, MES, ERP, CMMS, Cloud, Machine Learning, MQTT, and Unified Namespace. Authors: Andi Sama — CIO, Sinergi Wahana Gemilang with Cahyati S. Sangaji

M anufacturing companies have been generating

a variety of operational data for decades. Those data often stay on multiple machines and got overwritten to allow for new data or left unanalyzed for years as the industry entered the Industry 4.0 era. The question then arises, how to integrate and analyze those data into valuable information (e.g., find some patterns using machine learning or predict when a machine will fail, given the patterns in the last few weeks or months) that is aligned with the company’s digital transformation strategy?

Further, who will lead the Industry 4.0 transformation initiatives — internal team or external team? These two are key questions as the companies start their digital journey as part of a digitization strategy to transform manufacturing operations by leveraging data to support business objectives. Industry 4.0 has been driving the need for IT & OT convergence for more than a decade to modernize Operational Technology (OT) by leveraging Information Technology (IT) such as Cloud, Internet of Things (IoT), and Artificial Intelligence (AI). As the journey moves to Industry 5.0 later, Blockchain technology will start to play a role.

OPERATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES In most manufacturing operations (factories), OT infrastructure has been designed for 24x7 operation and generates a lot of data. The design is for the components to be operational in a long lifespan, like 20, 40, or 50 years. While the discussion of OT within this article is mostly for manufacturing operations, OT also applies to other industrial applications. To better understand operational technologies, interested readers may refer to the following articles on enabling the digital transformation journey towards Industry 4.0 by understanding Industry 3.0. To publish in the next couple of weeks. SWG INSIGHT   |  10

Towards Industry 4.0 — PLC Programming, A Mixer Use Case with Ladder Logic Diagram. Towards Industry 4.0 — PLC Programming, A Traffic Light Controller Use Case with SFC + SCADA. While OT has been running for decades with various supporting technologies, recent developments open up opportunities for better OT resource management by leveraging IT. OT includes software and hardware devices (controllers, sensors, and actuators). Some hardware devices are configurable. OT includes software such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), primarily for accounting purposes. Advanced OT has additional software like Manufacturing Execution System (MES) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM).

Let's discuss this from the bottom to the top. Starting with PLC that controls field devices (sensors & actuators), SCADA, MES, to the Cloud.

PLC A production line in a factory or process automation consists of several machines. One Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) controls multiple field devices of one or several machines. It may also control and monitor machines across several production lines. From PLC to field devices, there are complex and various interfaces. Another challenge is properly integrating different PLC brands to acquire aggregated production data.

There may also be a Programmable Automation Controller (PAC) or Industrial Personal Computer (IPC), which we do not discuss in this article. In general, PAC extends the capacity of PLC in terms of, e.g., processing power or number of supported I/O. Although along the way, there are also PLCs with capabilities similar to PACs. IPC is generally like a PC, e.g., with Windows or Realtime Operating System. IPC does things that require more power on edge devices, such as running the AI-powered image processing that requires the complex matrix processing that is suitable to be processed by a special card, e.g., Graphic Processing Unit (GPU).

Ilustrasi-4: Industry 3.0 — An illustration of a PLC controlling a gate valve to enable or disable fluid flow, e.g., water. This is a closed-loop system, as the PLC gets feedback from the sensor to detect the current gate valve status (close or open).

SWG INSIGHT   |  12

Ilustrasi-5: Industry 3.0 — An illustration of a PLC controlling the speed (Rotation Per Minute/RPM) of a 3-phase Alternating Current (AC) motor by varying the frequency through a VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) equipped with an integrated “automated error correction” PID (Proportional Integral Derivative) controller.

Let's look at a Mixer mixing fluids in a tank. The fluids come from two different sources in a tank. The mixed fluids are then channeled to another process through a controlled valve. The two different fluids come to a tank controlled by two pumps: PUMP_1 and PUMP_2. If pumps are active, fluids are filling the tank. There are two level sensors within the tank for detecting whether the tank is low on fluid (L_LEVEL sensor) or full (H_LEVEL sensor). Once the tank is full, the MIXER will start for a predefined time to mix the two fluids automatically. Following the completion of the mixer, the drain VALVE opens to allow the mixed fluids to be processed further.

Ilustrasi-6: A Mixer mixes fluids in a tank. The fluids come from two different sources in a tank. The mixed fluids are then channeled to another process. SWG INSIGHT   |  13

Ilustrasi-7: A PLC with a set of inputs and a set of outputs controls the mixing process.

In PLC, there are variations of programming languages to do automation. The five common programming languages are Ladder Logic Diagram (LAD), Function Block Diagram (FBD), Sequential Function Chart (SFC), Instruction List (IL), and Structured Text (ST). An example of a ladder logic diagram for executing the mixer use-case illustrated above is as follows. Please refer to “Towards Industry 4.0 — PLC Programming, A Mixer Use Case with Ladder Logic Diagram” (Andi Sama, 2022a) for a more detailed discussion.

SWG INSIGHT   |  14

SCADA and DCS Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition software (SCADA) enables better overall operation visibility of the entire plant. In contrast to just a single Human Machine Interface (HMI) attached to a PLC hardware. SCADA acquires data from the PLCs for overall general monitoring and control. HMI provides the visualization and acquires data from the locally attached PLC. In a typical multi-solution provider environment, e.g., different brands of PLCs, HMIs, RTU, connectivity, communication protocols, and software to program HMIs or PLCs, SCADA is generally applied. In the case of a "pre-packaged solution," Distributed Control System (DCS) package consists of SCADA, Remote I/O (RIO), or Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) hardware as well as PLC. Usually, a single brand comes from a single solution provider, e.g., Rockwell Automation, Schneider Electric, Siemens, or Yokogawa.

Data Historian (or just Historian) Historian is a database that stores, logs, and compresses all of the time series production data that the SCADA system aggregates. The Historian can also have reporting capability.

MES The primary function of MES is to Execute Manufacturing orders (Work Orders, WO) from ERP. MES automates the manufacturing operation (scheduling), computes OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness), and tracks Downtime (Downtime Tracking).

SWG INSIGHT   |  15

Ilustrasi-9: The traditional flow of data in Industry 3.0. MES dashboard monitors the OEE.

Manufacturing Operation Management (MoM) in Industry 4.0 refers to Business processes, including MES. Most manufacturing operations have ERP, SCADA, and PLC for factory automation. Very few have MES. Although, OEE needs to be monitored and improved somehow. Even manually computed day by day using pen & paper. MES does not connect directly to PLCs. Typically, MES connects to PLCs through SCADA. PLCs connect to SCADA using OPC/UA (see below for the discussion on OPC/UA).

ERP — WMS Warehouse Management System (WMS) is an "inventory management system" that manages finished products and is typically part of ERP.

ERP — CMMS A computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) centralizes maintenance information and facilitates the processes of maintenance operations, and usually has the functionality of asset management (optimizing the utilization and availability of physical equipment like machinery, communications, plant infrastructures, and other assets). CMMS is also typically part of ERP.

SWG INSIGHT   |  16

CRM A Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system, if any, provides an integrated dashboard for the overall business operation and manages the sales operation of manufacturing outputs.

SCM A Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system, if any, provides an integrated dashboard for the overall business operation and manages the sales operation of manufacturing outputs.

Calculating OEE Calculating Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is the primary function of MES. We compute OEE as Availability * Quality * Performance. In industry 3.0, the operator manually adjusts the production machine parameters to maximize OEE while monitoring the availability, quality, and performance values. I.e., increase machine performance to increase production output (while at the same time it may increase waste and decrease quality).

Ilustrasi-10: The traditional flow of data in Industry 3.0. MES dashboard monitors the OEE.

If available, data sources for OEE calculation can be taken from SCADA or PLCs. If unavailable, the required data may need to be regenerated by modifying the PLC programs. For the machine states, for example, not all PLCs implement the machine states in the PLC programs, the data that is required to compute OEE. SWG INSIGHT   |  17

Without MES, people need to manually move around from machine to machine, from production line to production line, from one area to another and record necessary data using pencil & paper.

By referring to the International Standard for the Integration of Enterprise and Control Systems (ISA-95), OEE can be computed at the production line, area, plant, and enterprise companywide levels. A cell is a physical machine in the production line. A group of cells forms a line. A group of lines forms an area. A site (plant) is a group of areas. An enterprise is a group of plants.

Ilustrasi-11: Computing OEE within each level of the ISA-95 IIoT framework (Enterprise, Site/Plant, Area, Line, and Cell). OEE = Availability * Quality * Performance.

The following illustrates the manual computation of OEE, given production data.

Ilustrasi-12: An example of OEE calculation, given the availability of production data. SWG INSIGHT   |  18

Integration and Interoperability in Industry 3.0 PLC to Field Devices (Sensors & Actuators) Integration PLC to field devices' physical connection varies. It can be a slow serial RS-232 cable or a faster RS-485 twisted two-pairs cable to a high-speed Ethernet connection. On top of the physical interface, there are communication protocols. The speed can range from 1.2kbps for Highway Addressable Remote Transducer (HART), 9.6kbps (Modbus, RS-485) to 1Mbps Controller Area Network (CAN), 12Mbps (Profibus, RS-485), and 1Gbps (Profinet with Ethernet). Communication speed can range from as low as 1.2kbps (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer, HART) or 9.6kbps (Modbus with RS-485) to 1Mbps (Controller Area Network, CAN),12Mbps (Profibus with RS-485), and 1Gbps (Profinet with Ethernet). Fieldbus protocol usually covers a group of protocols so different PLCs and field devices that support the protocol can communicate. Fieldbus (IEC 61158) covers protocols such as ControlNet (Allen Bradley), Modbus (Schneider), Profibus (commonly used by Siemens), EtherCAT (Beckhoff), and HART. Additionally, signaling can be digital or analog with different voltage (commonly used: 24V) and current (commonly used: 4–20mA) specifications. A PLC acts as an automation controller. PLC established communication and controls for various field devices to enable different ways of data exchange. Integrating Multiple PLCs The challenge in the production line is to have multiple machines integrated to produce outputs. Therefore, data from numerous PLCs (e.g., ABB, Mitsubishi, Omron, Rockwell Automation, or Siemens) must be exchanged and coordinated to achieve the intended goals. One PLC says Siemens controls and monitors a few field devices with various sensors and actuators. Another PLC from Rockwell Automation (Allen-Bradley) controls and monitors a few different machines equipped with sensors and actuators. Additionally, the 3rd PLC from ABB controls and monitors other field devices with its sensors and actuators.

SWG INSIGHT   |  19

Ilustrasi-13: A Production line with three PLCs. Each PLC controls a set of sensors.

The challenge is that each PLC from a different provider has a different way "protocol" for exchanging data with other systems. A common approach is to have software to integrate some or all PLCs within a production line. The software acts like a middleware, communicating with every PLC with its proprietary supported protocols through the provided drivers and integrating required data to coordinate the process in a production line. Before 2000, KepServer software was used by factories to integrate multiple PLCs. KepServer provides a “glue” by integrating each different PLC with its specific native protocol through each driver.

Ilustrasi-14: Integrate several PLCs by communicating natively to each PLC. SWG INSIGHT   |  20

OPC/UA as the "Middleware" A consortium of control engineers, the OPC Foundation, introduced OLE for Process Control (OPC) in 1996. OLE is Object Linking & Embedding, an approach developed by Microsoft in the 1990s to enable applications to talk to one another. The consortium defines how to extract data from multi-brand PLCs and send it to the OPC server in a standard format. The OPC server can relay the data to the external systems, e.g., SCADA, through OPC/Universal Architecture (OPC/UA) protocol. To get the data, the OPC server continuously polls the PLCs in real-time. OPC is a pollingbased Client/Server system.

Ilustrasi-15: Integrate several PLCs by communicating through standard communication and message exchange protocols with OPC/UA.

IT/OT Convergence — Hub and Spoke Messaging in Industry 4.0 Data is the foundation for smooth migration from Industry 3.0 to Industry 4.0. Unified, centralized data would be the first strategic milestone enabling Industry 4.0.

SWG INSIGHT   |  21\

Unified Namespace (UNS) The key to enabling Industry 4.0 is to have a unified namespace UNS. Any applications (e.g., ERP, MES, SCADA, PLC, smart Sensor, intelligent Actuator) can publish a topic (a message queue consisting of a data structure for that application) to UNS. Any application can also subscribe to a specific published topic to retrieve the required data.

Ilustrasi-16: Integrate several PLCs by communicating through publish/subscribe messaging, MQTT.

A Unified Namespace (UNS) is a platform where all the applications' data resides. It's the single source of truth for all data from multiple applications.

MQTT The publish-subscribe mechanism in Industry 4.0 is based on Message Queue Telemetry Transport (MQTT). It is an open protocol, lightweight, and event-driven. If you are googling for "MQTT broker" or "MQTT client," there are a lot of open source implementations, in contrast with OPC/UA. MQTT was introduced in 1999 by Andy Stanford-Clark (IBM) and Arlen Nipper (Arcom). Industries started to implement MQTT in 2014.

SWG INSIGHT   |  22

Data sources such as PLC can publish a topic in MQTT Broker. Any application that uses the data can subscribe to a defined topic. Message exchange happens asynchronously, so the data source can publish and forget after sending the data (without waiting to confirm whether the data has been published, as the protocol ensures that it will be published eventually). MQTT is an event-driven system, not a polling-based system.

Ilustrasi-17: A unified namespace integrates all the required data details on the factory floor.

Publishing a message to the MQTT broker typically involves topic and payload. The following

shows an example. Topic: Jakarta/PLC5/CNC Payload: {“Temp”: 75, “Humidity”: 44}

Ilustrasi-18: MQTT (Message Queue Telemetry Transport) Protocol is the base data exchange protocol for Unified Namespace in Industry 4.0. SWG INSIGHT   |  23

Ilustrasi-19: Enabling Industry 4.0: PLC acts as an MQTT client and publishes its data to Unified Namespace.

Sparkplug B Sparkplug B (SPb, based on MQTT) is the MQTT for Industrial IoT (Industry 4.0) — the MQTT for IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things). Both MQTT and Sparkplug B are open source.

Ilustrasi-20: Sparkplug B (SPb, based on MQTT) is the MQTT for Industry 4.0.

In migrating from Industry 3.0 to Industry 4.0, an existing OPC/UA server installation can publish a topic in the MQTT broker to send the data acquired from connected PLCs, for instance.

SWG INSIGHT   |  24

Softwares for UNS can be like any MQTT broker (e.g., HiveMQ) or an open-source Node-RED (low-code programming for event-driven applications). Some commercially available software are HighByte, Factory Studio, and Ignition. In the IT world, a unified namespace is like a data lake, where all data from multiple applications resides in a central location. Having a data lake is the first step to doing any raw analytics. Having UNS in Industry 4.0 initiative is the first important stepping stone to enabling Industry 4.0. If a new application wants to use the data in the UNS, the application can subscribe to a specific topic where the data resides.

The role of the Cloud and Machine Learning When the business is Industry 4.0 ready, the ultimate goal is to have a closed loop of all the processes. The state of the business is available at any time in near real-time. A dashboard provides a single pane of view at any level of manufacturing operation: machines, lines, area, plants, and enterprise. The generated data stored in the unified namespace are processed by machine learning on the Cloud to make predictions and recommendations to improve the business continuously. Without the Cloud, e.g., installed on-premise on the factory floor, the machine learning infrastructure (hardware, software, services, and operation) requires a lot of investment and expertise. In Industry 4.0, the role of operators is automated by machine learning. Machine learning predicts future outcomes based on historical data. To do this, initially, machine learning is trained on historical data to create a machine learning model based on certain chosen algorithms (e.g., to process time-series data). Training takes time to execute (hours to days depending on data volume and number of training iterations) and is done using the scalable Cloud infrastructure. The machine learning model is then deployed on the Cloud as a runtime model, ready to accept new data to make predictions. The machine learning application on the Cloud continuously learns based on the data stream sent by ERP, MES, and PLCs, for example, to adjust relevant production machine parameters regularly, optimizing for the best OEE.

Strategizing the Digital Transformation Journey A podcast in mid-July 2022 (4.0 Solutions, 2022) initially stated that 80% of USA manufacturing companies had started the transformation journey into Industry 4.0. However, a different factbased argument (based on ten pillars or measurements from about 1,380 companies) revealed that the number was not even 20%. The ten pillars above cover Operation, Information Technology, Engineering, Quality, Leadership, Infrastructure, Platform, Network, Connectivity, and Strategy. Each with its quantifiable measurements. It means that 80% of USA manufacturing companies have not started the transformation journey into Industry 4.0. How about other countries, then? When there is a digital strategy for Industry 4.0, and the execution of the strategy has been started, we can say that the journey towards Industry 4.0 has begun. It is not valid, though, if only, say, a prototype of a smart sensor has been installed and tested in one part of the production line. It's just testing something without the purpose, without the strategy "the map" describing what will be achieved in certain milestones in the future.

Implementing Industry 4.0 — The Execution Strategy A bold statement from (4.0 Solutions, 2022) stated that the first step in the digital transformation journey towards Industry 4.0 is "admitting that we have a problem." Digital transformation is a journey — not a project. Digital transformation in manufacturing is about transforming the business operation by leveraging data that the manufacturing operations generate daily. Top management must appoint a digital transformation leader to lead the journey. Someone with a real experience on the factory floor on the technology side (meaning, somebody from the OT side, not the IT side). E.g., one that has experience in PLC and HMI programming — including SCADA and MES integration, as well as exposure to other technical aspects on the factory floors such as ERP, WMS, and OPC/UA. A digital transformation leader executes the project in iterations with agility in mind. Continuously adapt and be flexible, not just following planned project milestones. The typical iteration would be to select to transform one full factory location at a time. To start a pilot within one factory, a digital transformation leader can select one production line with one machine to be digitally transformed. E.g., build the unified namespace for that only one production line with one machine.

SWG INSIGHT   |  26

Use an event-driven, lightweight, and open architecture MQTT-based Unified Namespace at each plant (enable Industry 4.0 at the plant layer). Make no assumptions on how data will be consumed. For example, the machine learning algorithms on the Cloud may need all the detailed data down to PLCs, sensors, and actuators to effectively predict the next possible downtime with high confidence due to potential failures in one or several instruments based on some identified patterns.

Within two or three years, at least one plant is expected to be digitally transformed and ready to go to the next steps (Walker Reynolds, 2021). E.g., start expanding the digital transformation to other factory locations. In parallel, as production data are starting to be available plant-wide, we can send the required data to the Cloud for a machine learning engine to do predictive maintenance. Or start to establish a company-wide unified namespace at the headquarter.

Ilustrasi-21: The long-term goal of the journey to Industry 4.0, where all plants have been digitally transformed into unified namespaces.

Looking Forward The (R)evolution, the transformation from Industry 3.0 to Industry 4.0, is happening now. IT and OT teams need to work together, internally or externally. As in many technological revolutions, people often become the main bottleneck for change as the new technology may affect their jobs and comfort zone. Top Management will play a key role in managing the transformation.

SWG INSIGHT   |  27

The transition may not be straightforward at once, as in one multi-years turn-key project. The iteration approach could be the best to follow. Transforming one area of focus at a time, moving on to the next iteration as business values emerge as previous iteration(s) starts to produce tangible benefits.

#2 PLC Programming,

“Hello World” The Digital Transformation Journey to Industry 4.0 starts by understanding Industry 3.0 Authors: Andi Sama — CIO, Sinergi Wahana Gemilang with Cahyati S. Sangaji

Following the discussion on IT/OT

convergence towards Industry 4.0 in the previous article “Towards Industry 4.0 — #1 IT/OT Convergence, A Digital Transformation Journey” (Andi Sama, Cahyati S. Sangaji), let’s discuss how to build a “Hello World” program in Programmable Logic Controller (PLC).

Programming the PLC using a Ladder Logic Diagram (LAD) Download Open PLC Editor for Windows here. In Summary Implementation of "Hello World" using one of PLC's most popular programming languages: Ladder Logic Diagram. Software tools: an Open Source PLC Editor. This article's supporting files (open plc source files) are available on Github. SWG INSIGHT   |  40

We use Open PLC Editor software on Microsoft Windows (Open Source PLC Software, 2022). Open PLC is an open-source PLC application that complies with IEC 61131–3, in which we can design using Ladder Logic, Structured Text, Instruction List, Function Block Diagram, or Sequential Function Chart. Major OT automation providers such as Rockwell Automation (Allen-Bradley), Siemens, and Mitsubishi have proprietary software for programming the PLC. RSLogix/Studio 5000 for Rockwell, Simatic/TIA Portal for Siemens, Melsoft/iQ Works for Mitsubishi, and CX-One for Omron. Likewise, the software for SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) is also available. Rockwell, Siemens, and Mitsubishi software names for SCADA are FactoryTalk View, WinCC, and MC WORX, respectively.

Hello World in PLC The most straightforward typical functional program in the ladder logic diagram consists of a left power rail, a digital START push button (input), a digital STOP push button (input), a digital coil (output), and finally, the right power rail. In this case, a coil could be as simple as a lamp or a soft motor starter driving a 3-phase AC motor, for example.

Creating the Program We implement the “Hello World” program for the PLC using the most popular programming language, the ladder logic diagram.

The ladder Logic Diagram follows the technological advancements by transforming the physical-mechanical relay, physical timer, and physical counter to digital solid-state relay logic, digital timer, and digital counter. SWG INSIGHT   |  41

When things break, LAD is also the easiest to debug during troubleshooting. While the example above shows two digital inputs and one digital output (with discrete values of 0 or 1), both input and output can also be analog (with continuous values ranging from 0– 10V for voltage or 4–20mA for electrical current, for example). Before running our program, it needs to be compiled first with no errors, of course.

When we started, the “Hello World” directory was empty. Once the program is created, it creates a few files and directories.

SWG INSIGHT   |  42

Ilustration 1: A few initial files and directories are within the “Hello World” directory.

Ilustration 2: Multiple files & one directory inside the “./Hello World/build/” directory for our “Hello World” program.

The content of the generated “generated_plc.st” source file. The file is the base structured text file to be compiled into the machine codes for the runtime environment. SWG INSIGHT   |  43

Ilustration 3: Files & directory inside the “./Hello World/project_files/” directory for our “Hello World” program. Empty at this moment.

Once compiled, we can run the compiled program in simulated mode within the Open PLC Editor, meaning it is not running on the actual PLC hardware. We can deploy the compiled program to real hardware, though.

Running the Program

Ilustration 4: When the power is applied, the rungs are energized.

Power rails (the thick black line on the left, with +24VDC voltage) energize the rungs. The thick black line on the right is the ground. A rung is a line in which we design our logic graphically in the ladder logic diagram. As the simulated program runs, the energized rungs (lines) turn from BLACK to GREEN. Our program starts when the START push button (Start_PB) is ON (changed from 0 to 1). Start_PB is NO type, Normally Open — meaning it is disconnected when it is not pressed. When the button is pressed, the connection is connected. SWG INSIGHT   |  44

Ilustration 5: The motor starter is energized when the Start_PB push button is pressed (ON).

When the START push button (Start_PB) is connected, the Motor_Starter is energized, and the motor will be ON (running). The Motor_Starter will keep running (ON) even when the Start_PB is released (OFF). This is due to the parallel connection of Motor_Starter that is provided as the “lock mechanism” to the Start_PB.

Ilustration 6: The motor starter is still energized when the Start_PB push button is released (OFF).

When the STOP push button (Stop_PB) is pressed, the connection from power to the soft motor starter is disconnected. The de-energized rungs turn from GREEN to BLACK. The motor is OFF. Stop_PB button is NC type, Normally Closed— it means it is connected when it is not pressed.

Ilustration 7: When the Stop_PB is ON, the motor starter is de-energized.

Implementation with different Software — Siemens To give a different perspective, we are now implementing the “Hello World“ program using another software from Siemens, TIA Portal (Totally Integrated Automation Portal). Still using the same programming language: ladder logic diagram.

Ilustration 8: Initially, when there is no power to the rungs.

SWG INSIGHT   |  45

Ilustration 9: When the power is applied, the rungs are energized.

Ilustration 10: The motor starter is energized when the Start_PB push button is pressed (ON).

Ilustration 11: The motor starter is still energized when the Start_PB push button is released (OFF).

Ilustration 12: When the Stop_PB is ON, the motor starter is de-energized. SWG INSIGHT   |  46

Note that this program is still running in a simulation. However, when the actual PLC is available (e.g., this program is configured with a compact Siemens PLC called “CPU 1214C DC/DC/Rly” 6ES7 214–1HG40–0XB0), the compiled program can be downloaded to PLC and runs inside the actual PLC hardware. For additional information, this configured PLC has the following configuration:

Looking Forward To better understand operational technologies, interested readers may refer to the following articles on enabling the digital transformation journey towards Industry 4.0 by understanding Industry 3.0. To publish in the next couple of weeks. Implement a ladder logic diagram, the most popular graphical-based PLC programming language, to control the mixer “Towards Industry 4.0 — #3 PLC Programming, A Mixer Use Case with Ladder Logic Diagram”. The implementation also runs in simulated mode within open-source Open PLC Editor software. Implement another graphical-based PLC programming language, Sequential Function Chart, in a use case for simulating a one-way traffic light controller with pedestrian override “Towards Industry 4.0 — #4 PLC Programming, A Traffic Light Controller Use Case with SFC + SCADA”. Running in simulated mode within an open-source Open PLC Runtime software and accessed remotely by SCADA for visualization with open-source ScadaBR software.

The Industry 4.0 initiative has been driving the need for OT & IT convergence for more than a decade to modernize Operational Technology (OT) by leveraging Information Technology (IT). Industry 4.0 promotes endto-end digitization of manufacturing and other industrial processes by monitoring and acting on real-time data as they occur.

In the journey towards Industry 4.0, OT can leverage IT such as Cloud Computing, the Internet of Things (IoT), and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Blockchain technology will play an important role when moving to Industry 5.0 later. Understanding existing technologies in Industry 3.0 (at the Operational Technologies level or OT) would be the foundation for transforming into Industry 4.0.

Industrial Automation There are two types of industrial automation: discrete and analog. We can identify the difference in the finished products, whether they can be easily quantified or not. Manufacturing cars, bottled water, and shoes are discrete automation as the finished product can easily be quantified. In contrast, generating household gas, manufacturing cakes or ice cream, and producing oil are analog automation examples, as the finished products are not easily quantified.

Operational Technologies In most Industry applications (including factories), OT infrastructure has been designed for 24x7 operation and generates a lot of data. The design is for the components to be operational for a long lifespan, like 20, 40, or 50 years. It is not uncommon for factory operations, for example, to run continuously for weeks, months, or even years. Similarly, it reminds us of the 24x7 Information Technology (IT) operation in Banks or Telecommunication Providers. OT includes software and hardware devices (controllers, sensors, and actuators). Some hardware devices are configurable. OT includes software such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), primarily for accounting purposes. Advanced OT has additional software like Manufacturing Execution System (MES) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM). Please see more discussion on Operational Technology in (Andi Sama, Cahyati S. Sangaji) “Towards Industry 4.0 — #1 IT/OT Convergence, A Digital Transformation Journey.” For this article, let’s focus on the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and the implementation of the mixer use case.

PLC A production line in a factory consists of several different machines. One PLC controls multiple field devices of one or several machines. It may also control and monitor machines across several production lines. From PLC to field devices, there are complex and various interfaces. Another challenge is properly integrating different PLC brands to acquire aggregated production data.

PLC as the Modern Logic Controller replacing the Relay Systems In the early days of Industry 3.0 in the 1970s, PLC with solid-state relay systems started to replace mechanical relays. Mechanical relays were the foundation of automation technology in Industry 2.0. Other supporting automation components in Industry 2.0 were mechanical counters and mechanical timers. They became programmable since the introduction of PLC. These technological advancements have significantly increased the reliability and maintainability of modern Industry 3.0-based automation systems for the last five decades (50 years). The mechanical relay could easily handle a high current, such as over 2A (two Ampere); however, the mechanical contact within the relay has a slow response time (about 10ms), and the physical-mechanical connection tends to wear faster. Although the solid state relay system in PLC has many advantages (i.e., physically compact and fast switching time), it has its limitations. In PLC, there is a digital output and analog output, for example, that are designed with different solid-state components. The digital output typically consists of a Transistor for DC load only. In contrast, the analog output consists of a Triac for low-powered AC load, such as for a motor starter with a current load not exceeding 1A. Ilustration 1: A Siemens PLC with a photoelectric sensor as the input switch (+24VDC) controls a relay as the output (+24VDC) to start or stop a high-voltage 3phase AC motor (Realpars, 2022). For example, the photoelectric sensor can sense an object on the moving conveyor belt. PLC will then start or stop the motor by sending a signal (e.g., raising the voltage to +24VDC) to the motor starter, triggered by the object's presence (Realpars, 2022). SWG INSIGHT   |  50

PLC to Field Devices (Sensors & Actuators) Integration Physical interfaces from PLC to field devices can range from a slow RS-232 cable or RS-485 twisted two-pairs cable to high-speed Ethernet. In Industrial networks, there are two types of communication protocols: master-slave and producer-consumer. Actuator Sensor Interface (AS-I), Modbus, and Process Field Bus (Profibus) are masterslave protocols commonly used for factory automation. For producer-consumer, a commonly used protocol is Profinet. A different protocol known as Highway Addressable Remote Transducer (HART) is for HARTenabled smart devices. Another one is the multi-master Controller Area Network (CAN) that we can easily find in the automotive industry, including the implementation of networking to monitor and control various sensors in a car through multiple Engine Control Units (ECU). Communication speed can range from as low as 1.2kbps (HART) or 9.6kbps (Modbus with RS485) to 1Mbps (CAN),12Mbps (Profibus with RS-485), and 1Gbps (Profinet with Ethernet). Additionally, signaling can be digital or analog with different voltage (commonly used: 24V) and current (commonly used: 4–20mA) specifications. A PLC acts as a gateway to the field devices. PLC creates physical communication and controls these variations of physical interface and communication protocols to enable data exchange.

PLC Programming Languages In PLC, there are variations of programming languages to do automation. The five common programming languages are Ladder Logic Diagram (LAD), Function Block Diagram (FBD), Sequential Function Chart (SFC), Instruction List (IL), and Structured Text (ST). This article implements a use case for mixer control with the most popular programming language, the ladder logic diagram. Why is LAD the most popular programming language? LAD naturally follows the technological advancements of the physical-mechanical relay logic to a digital relay logic in PLC. When things break, LAD is also the easiest to debug during troubleshooting.

A Quick Refresh on Technical Background Programming with a ladder logic diagram is programming graphically by having certain technical knowledge of electronics such as power, ground, switches, latch, flip-flops, and motors. PLC has I/O (Input/Output) that can be digital or analog. Enterprise-level PLC can have a lot of I/IO locally (hundreds or thousands of I/O) or remotely (remote I/O). When a PLC gets an analog reading from the outside world, such as from a sensor, it has to be converted to digital values according to a certain mapping (e.g., the analog to digital value mappings from the sensor documentation). Digital input can be as simple as a start or stop push button or other things like a photo-electric sensor mentioned above. The digital output can be like an on-off relay to trigger a highpowered 3-phase motor starter through a motor driver or a simple lamp. Analog input can be temperature or humidity readings, for example. It can also be an electrical current, commonly implemented for better signal stability over the long range. Digital I/O comes in discrete values of either 0 or 24VDC electrical voltage. Analog I/O has continuous values of, e.g., from -20V to +20V or 4 to 20mA.

Ilustration 2: Examples of analog inputs and outputs in Siemens PLC. Inputs are on the left of the PLC, outputs are on the right of the PLC (Realpars, 2022).

Implementing a Use Case in PLC A Mixer Use Case Let’s look at a Mixer mixing fluids in a tank. The fluids come from two different sources in a tank. The mixed fluids are then routed to another process through a controlled valve.

Ilustration 3: A Mixer mixes fluids in a tank. The fluids come from two different sources in a tank. The mixed fluids are then channeled to another process.

Ilustration 4: A PLC with a set of inputs and a set of outputs controls the mixing process.

The two different fluids come to a tank controlled through two pumps: PUMP_1 and PUMP_2. If pumps are active, fluids fill the tank. SWG INSIGHT   |  53

There are two level sensors within the tank for detecting whether the tank is low on fluid (L_LEVEL sensor) or full (H_LEVEL sensor). Once the tank is full, the MIXER will start for a predefined time to mix the two fluids automatically. Following the completion of the mixer, the drain VALVE opens to drain the mixed fluids to be processed further. Then the cycle can repeat. Note that the opening of VALVE can be combined with the readiness of the next process to receive the mixed fluids.

Ilustration 5: An example of a conductive level switch sensor (type MLR430–3) for detecting liquids. Provided by GHM Messtechnik GmbH. This level sensor has an operating temperature from -20C to 140C. Output is programmable and can be set to either NO or NC (Normally Open or Normally Closed).

We use Open PLC Editor software on Microsoft Windows (Open Source PLC Software, 2022). Open PLC is an open-source PLC application that complies with IEC 61131–3, in which we can design Ladder Logic, Structured Text, Instruction List, Function Block Diagram, or Sequential Function Chart.

a. First Ladder Logic Diagram Let’s start with our first section of the ladder diagram that turns ON PUMP_1 and PUMP-2 when the L_LEVEL sensor is activated (ON).

SWG INSIGHT   |  54

We implement this using the SR flip-flop function block with two input pins (S and R) and one output pin (Q). SR flip-flow is the Set-Reset flip flop where R dominates (meaning if both are 1, R will be in effect, meaning the output will be reset). In contrast with the RS flip-flop, S dominates (meaning if both are 1, S will be in effect, meaning the output will be set). S, R, and Q pins are Boolean, meaning it has only two possibilities, 0 or 1. When the START push button is ON, our program starts. Power rails (the black thick line on the left, with +24VDC voltage) energize the rungs. The black thick line on the right is the ground. A rung is a line in which we design our logic graphically in the ladder logic diagram. The rungs (lines) that are energized turn from BLACK to GREEN. Typical PLC has three steps during its execution: Scan the input image table (input memory) to get all the states of inputs. Execute our program. In this article, this is our ladder diagram. Write the output into the output image table (output memory). PLC executes our ladder diagram from left to right, then from top to bottom.

SWG INSIGHT   |  55

Note that this is a live simulation within the Open PLC application where our program runs as if it is in the real PLC hardware. For the program to run on the real PLC, the specific I/O addresses need to be specified. E.g., I0.0, I0.1, I0.2, and I0.3 for the START push button, STOP push button, L_LEVEL sensor, and H_LEVEL sensor for the inputs. Also, Q0.0, Q0.1, Q0.2 for the PUMP_1, PUMP_2, and MIXER_MOTOR for the outputs. The actual assignment of I/O addresses may differ among different PLCs. L_LEVEL sensor triggers the S-pin on the SR0 flip-flop to ON (changing the value from 0 to 1). As a result, Q output is ON, activating both PUMP_1 and PUMP_2. PUMP_1 and PUMP_2 are running now.

Note that the R-pin is controlled by both the H_LEVEL sensor and the STOP push button. Rpin will be set to ON if H_LEVEL rises from 0 to 1 or the STOP push button is 1. When R-pin is ON, the Q output will be reset to 0, meaning both PUMP_1 and PUMP_2 will be OFF.

b. Second Ladder Logic Diagram The second section of the ladder diagram monitors the H_LEVEL sensor, then starts the MIXER_MOTOR for a predefined preset time to mix the fluids. One more time, we use SR flipflop for this.

SWG INSIGHT   |  56

Likewise, power rails energize the rungs when the START push button is ON.

When the H_LEVEL sensor is triggered (rises from 0 to 1, indicating the tank is full of fluids), it triggers TP0 (a timer with a preset time of 8 seconds), which then activates the S-pin in SR1 to ON, causing MIXER_MOTOR to be active (ON).

After 8 seconds, the Q output on TP0 (timer) changed from 1 to 0, causing S-pin on SR1 to be 0, deactivating the Q output on SR1 (changes from 1 to 0). This turn the MIXER_MOTOR OFF. The VALVE is automatically ON as it is activated by the third ladder diagram when detecting MIXER_MOTOR in the OFF state (see discussion on the third section of the ladder diagram below).

SWG INSIGHT   |  57

c. Third Ladder Logic Diagram

Likewise, power rails energize the rungs when the START push button is ON.

Nothing happens when L_LEVEL is ON.

SWG INSIGHT   |  58

When H_LEVEL is ON and MIXER_MOTOR is OFF, S-pin on RS0 changes from 0 to 1, causing Q output on RS0 to be active (ON), activating the VALVE (VALVE is in an OPEN state). Note that we use RS flip-flop instead of SR flip-flop. In RS flip-flop, Set dominates.

When L_LEVEL is OFF (changes from 1 to 0, indicating the tank is empty), the R-pin is activated (changes from 0 to 1) as L_LEVEL connected to the R-pin is a negated L_LEVEL (meaning activated by 0 instead of 1), causing Q output on RS0 to be deactivated. VALVE is in a CLOSED state.

When the VALVE is in a CLOSED state, the state of both PUMP_1 and PUMP_2 is also OFF. MIXER_MOTOR is also OFF.

Looking Forward The (R)evolution, the transformation from Industry 3.0 to Industry 4.0, is happening now. IT and OT teams need to work together, internally or externally. As in many technological revolutions, people often become the main bottleneck for change as the new technology may affect their jobs and comfort zone. Top Management will play a key role in managing the transformation. Understanding the driving technologies in Industry 3.0 is important for transforming into Industry 4.0. This article discussed the most popular programming language for PLC, i.e., Ladder Logic Diagram. Though, there are many areas of technological advancements in Industry 3.0. Some of them are field devices (sensors & actuators), other programming languages for PLC, and robotics, including key applications like Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP). The transition to Industry 4.0 may not be straightforward at once as in one multi-years turn-key project. The iteration approach could be the best to follow. Transforming one area of focus at a time, moving on to the next iteration as business values emerge as previous iteration(s) starts to produce tangible benefits.

Selanjutnya akan dijabarkan kemampuan yang dimiliki oleh Fiix berdasarkan modul-modul yang tersedia.

Work order management Dengan adanya modul work order management, kita mendapatkan efisiensi dalam melakukan maintenance. Kemampuan yang dimiliki Fiix antara lain dapat mengirimkan work order dan kemudian kita mendapatkan manfaat yaitu dimudahkan untuk mencari, mengurutkan atau melacak work order tersebut. Biasanya work order dibuat ketika terjadi permasalahan pada aset di lapangan, namun dapat juga membuat work order berdasarkan hasil dari jadwal awal yang dibuat dan merupakan kegiatan rutin untuk melakukan perawatan atau maintenance. Work order tersebut berasal dari fitur schedule maintenance yang dapat kita tentukan berdasarkan waktu, event dan kondisi. Jadwal yang dibuat di trigger condition-based. Jika work order merupakan kondisi berdasarkan input dari tim teknis di lapangan, admin dapat menentukan tim teknis mana yang mengerjakan work order tersebut. Dengan ini diharapkan tim yang mengerjakan work order merupakan tim ahli dari jenis pekerjaan yang akan dilakukan, karena data dari tim teknis juga dapat menyertakan sertifikasi didalamnya. Berdasarkan hal tersebut, ketika work order dikerjakan oleh orang yang sesuai dengan kualifikasi pekerjaan, maka diharapkan pekerjaan akan dapat selesai lebih cepat.

SWG INSIGHT   |  64

Pada bagian work order kita juga dapat memberikan tambahan di browser terkait lampiran Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) atau task-task yang sedang berjalan kepada tim teknis di lapangan. Selain itu, kita juga kita dapat memberikan pelengkap work order lain misalnya dalam bentuk file datasheet, link atau note. Untuk pembuatan work order pun sangat mudah. Kita dapat membuat work order melalui dashboard Fiix atau menggunakan aplikasi mobile. Pembuatan work order melalui aplikasi mobile dapat dilakukan tanpa user login, dengan catatan setting guest pada dasboard admin sudah di-enable. Dari semua kemampuan yang dimiliki pada modul work order management, dapat kita lihat beberapa keuntungan yang diperoleh. Pertama, semua work order yang dibuat berada di satu tempat atau satu tampilan dashboard, sehingga memudahkan kita untuk mencari atau mengurutkan prioritas pekerjaan yang dikerjakan oleh tim teknis di lapangan. Kedua memudahkan kita mengelola semua work order yang di buat, yang berasal dari work order baru ataupun scheduled maintenance. Kemudian juga memudahkan kita dalam mengelola hubungan work order dengan asset dan data inventory. Terakhir, karena Fiix mobile memiliki fasilitas membuat work order tanpa user login, maka biaya lisensi per user tidak perlu terlalu banyak.

Asset management Modul asset management memiliki kemampuan untuk memastikan kinerja aset. Fiix merupakan sistem tunggal yang mengumpulkan semua informasi terkait aset. Kemudian dari informasi aset yang ada, sudah di-generate data aset dalam bentuk barcode, sehingga saat melakukan input data work order dan memasukan data aset akan lebih mudah dan cepat tanpa harus melengkapi data aset terlebih dahulu. Data aset ini akan berada pada satu tampilan lengkap termasuk status, riwayat perbaikan, SOP dan kerusakan atau kendala-kendala yang berkaitan dengan aset. Sama halnya seperti work order, untuk data aset juga dapat ditambahkan data dalam bentuk file, link dan note. Kemampuan lain yang di miliki modul ini adalah kita dapat melacak pengguna peralatan dan trigger dari work order dengan pembacaan kondisi secara real-time. Jadi kita dapat mengelola atau mengetahui history dari penggunaan spare part dari data inventory/parts yang ada pada Fiix. Modul asset management ini memudahkan kita mengetahui informasi terkait asset dengan sangat lengkap, hanya dalam satu tampilan. SWG INSIGHT   |  65

Parts & supplies management Modul ini memiliki kemampuan untuk mengoptimalkan inventaris dan biaya. Juga dapat memberikan alert saat suku cadang hampir habis, yang kemudian dikirimkan, disetujui, dan melakukan pengiriman purchase order. Hal lainnya adalah penghitungan siklus, mencatat dan melihat level stok di berbagai fasilitas. Selain itu juga mencari suku cadang, menghitung biaya setiap work order atau aset dan membuat laporan otomatis. Pada bagian ini data yang dapat terhubung adalah data aset, data supplier/vendor dan work order yang di dalamnya terdapat proses penggunaan spare part untuk penggantian part pada mesin yang di maintenance. Dengan demikian, seluruh informasi terkait spare part dan supplier dapat dilihat dengan mudah dalam satu tampilan. Modul ini memberikan kemudahan dalam memperoleh informasi terkait ketersediaan spare part, history penggunaannya, perhitungan biaya dan mendapatkan laporan otomatis.

Reporting & analytics Modul ini ada mulai dari lisensi basic untuk fitur reporting dengan default format report dan dapat melakukan custom report jika menggunakan lisensi professional. Sedangkan fitur analytics hanya dapat mulai digunakan pada lisensi professional. Modul ini dapat membuat keputusan berdasarkan data. Kemampuan yang dimiliki modul ini antara lain, mengumpulkan data maintenance sesuai dengan permintaan dan menghasilkan analisa yang dapat ditindaklanjuti. Dengan reporting & analytics, kita dapat melihat metrik secara real-time di seluruh situs, project, aset dan user. Modul ini memudahkan kita untuk mendapatkan log audit dari capture and track maintenance, apa yang dilakukan, siapa yang melakukan dan kapan. Tentu saja semua informasi yang diberikan dapat dengan mudah dilihat di satu tampilan.

Fiix Foresight Fiix merupakan aplikasi dengan AI engine pertama dan satu-satunya untuk maintenance. Modul Fiix Foresight merupakan modul yang mulai dapat digunakan di jenis lisensi professional. Dengan modul ini, Fiix memiliki kemampuan untuk menganalisis data untuk membuat rekomendasi tentang perencanaan, pembelian dan scheduling maintenace. SWG INSIGHT   |  66

Ilustrasi dari kemampuan modul ini misalnya terkait siklus pembelian spare part. Saat kondisi stok sudah berada pada stok minimum, maka Fiix akan secara otomatis memberikan alert dan secara otomatis membuat purcase order. Namun jika dari analisa history pembelian sebelumnya yang terkait dengan penggunaan spare part untuk maintenance atau schedule maintenance dianggap belum membutuhkan panambahan stok aset walaupun sudah berada pada batas minimum yang ditentukan, maka Fiix secara otomatis dapat menentukan hal tersebut.

Fiix Integration Hub Modul Fiix Integration Hub merupakan modul yang mulai dapat digunakan pada jenis lisensi enterprise. Modul ini adalah dapat menghubungkan Fiix ke berbagai aplikasi third party. Juga memiliki kemampuan untuk mengumpulkan data dari aplikasi business system seperti SAP dan production system seperti Allen‑Bradley atau Internet of Things (IoT) sensor, di mana salah satunya dengan menggunakan protokol Message Queue Telemetri Transport (MQTT). Fiix juga dapat melakukan share data ke aplikasi analytics seperti tableau. Serta memiliki kemampuan men-trigger pekerjaan di semua sistem melalui open API.

Tab Menu Pada Fiix Software Setelah dijabarkan modul dan kemampuan yang dimiliki oleh Fiix, akan dijabarkan secara singkat menu-menu yang terdapat di aplikasi.

IBM LAUNCHES ITS MOST POWERFUL

QUANTUM COMPUTER WITH 433 QUBITS By Jane Lanhee Lee

Nov 9 (Reuters) - International Business Machines Corp on Wednesday said it

launched its most powerful quantum computer to date called the Osprey, a 433-qubit

machine that has three times the number of qubits than its Eagle machine

announced last year. The number of qubits, or quantum bits, are an indication of the power of the quantum

computer which uses quantum mechanics, although different quantum computer

companies make different claims about the power of their qubits which can be

created many different ways. Quantum computers are one day expected to speed up certain calculations millions

of times faster than the fastest super computers today. Dario Gil, IBM's director of research, said IBM is still on track to launch a computer

with over 1000 qubits but for further scaling was working on a new approach.

SWG INSIGHT   |  79

TECHNOLOGY NEWS NOV 9, 2022

"As we push the limits of the size of the Osprey chip that we're announcing, if you

look at it, it's really big already. Next year, 1000 is going to be very big," he said. "So

after that, we have been designing and engineering the whole architecture for

quantum computing based on modularity." IBM is calling the modular system Quantum System Two. Quantum System Two is the first truly modular quantum computing system so that

you can continue to scale to larger and larger systems over time," Gil told Reuters

ahead of the IBM Quantum Summit this week. "Modularity means the chips themselves are going to have to be interconnected to

one another." IBM said it is targeting for this system to be online by end of next year and it would

be the building blocks for "quantum-centric supercomputing" by connecting multiple

Quantum System Twos. IBM said it could build a system with up to 16,632 qubits by

linking three of these systems. IBM has over 20 quantum computers around the world, and customers can access

them through the cloud. Source: https://www.reuters.com

BUSINESSES PLAN TO INVEST IN TECH

IN 2023, DESPITE ECONOMIC

HEADWINDS

Ilustrasi-4: Investing in 2023 By Kathryn Guarini | CIO

Technology spending is expected to remain steady in the coming year, despite

ongoing concerns about the global economy. That’s the theme that emerged from a

recent survey that IBM commissioned from Morning Consult. The report dives into

the investment strategies of 4,000 global business leaders and found that more

than three-quarters plan to prioritize or invest in technology in the next 12 months,

a steady pace from 2022. Heading into 2023, technology buyers have clear directives and holistic plans to

invest in infrastructure, build AI services on top of that infrastructure for a better

employee and customer experience, secure their entire digital ecosystem, and

make their entire business more sustainable and resilient.

Investing in better infrastructure Investments in cloud computing (32%) and hardware (25%) show a strong focus on

building a resilient infrastructure. It’s clear that companies are not all-in on public

cloud, but prefer flexibility in where they can move workloads. SWG INSIGHT   |  88

TECHNOLOGY NEWS DEC 15, 2022

As more data is stored and processed on devices around the world, it is

increasingly important to have clear data management in place. In 2023, technology

leaders will ramp up efforts to employ an integrated data fabric architecture to

manage their distributed data, using a common set of processes and deploy

workloads across environments regardless of physical location. This creates an

environment more conducive to business innovation by helping to get data in the

hands of the right team members when they need it. Businesses also cite industry cloud platforms (25%) as a top emerging technology

they believe will have the biggest impact on their businesses in the next three to

five years. Data is also being stored and processed amidst a shifting regulatory

landscape. The survey results indicate legal and regulatory compliance pressures

are both driving (22%) and hindering (20%) tech investments. When looking ahead

to trends in cloud, industry-specific clouds offer even greater incentive for investing,

as businesses in highly regulated industries including financial services, telecom,

and healthcare look for cloud providers that understand their unique needs. Moving

forward, many may opt for a cloud that allows for a secured environment built on an

interoperable, hybrid and open architecture.

Businesses are deploying AI and automation services to augment

teams and workflows Many companies are planning to build services on top of that infrastructure,

including AI (33%), automation (24%), and chatbots (20%). About three in four

businesses say that these investments will drive profitability in their business, a key

indicator of ongoing investments even as companies face strong economic

headwinds. Looking ahead, survey respondents specifically cited digital employees

(35%) and generative AI (35%) as the top emerging technologies that will change

their businesses the most in the next three to five years.

SWG INSIGHT   |  89

Digital employees can help augment how business workers manage their day-to-

day work. These AI-powered assistants can help improve the productivity of

employees, doing everything from human resource tasks like job changes and

department transfers, to finance and automating invoice processing, and speeding

up IT support. By automating these business processes, digital employees can help

free up employee time for higher-value work. While office life is set for an upgrade, AI is as well. Investments in generative AI,

and the foundation models that underpin it, will revolutionize how AI models are

built and produce outputs. Training AI to date has often meant creating and

deploying new systems for different use cases, often requiring a considerable

amount of time and resources. The rise of foundation models will mean a shift to

flexible, reusable AI models that can be applied to just about any domain or industry

task. As these models move from exciting experiments like ChatGPT to enterprise

technology offerings, more companies will be able to deploy AI in a wider range of

mission-critical situations. As AI adoption continues to grow, the need for a

comprehensive data and AI governance strategy will become even more important.

Business leaders realize they can’t afford to be unprepared for a

cyber incident As companies invest in digital infrastructure and AI, cybersecurity risks remain.

During the pandemic, after speeding the adoption of new tech and tools to support

a remote workforce, corporations suffered a higher frequency of business-impacting

cyberattacks. That led the cost of the average data breach to reach an all-time high

of $4.35 million. With that looming threat, it’s not surprising that cyber risks are both the biggest

driver and the largest hinderance to tech investments, pushing cybersecurity (36%)

to number two on the list of tech investments expected over the next two years. The

data shows that global business leaders no longer consider cybersecurity an

afterthought to technology, but an essential part of their IT strategy. As it does, they

will see exciting new solutions bringing the best of cybersecurity and AI together. SWG INSIGHT   |  90

TECHNOLOGY NEWS DEC 15, 2022

Investments in sustainability will make businesses more resilient, and more

profitable Sustainability is set to grow as a priority for investment over the next 12

months. Three in five companies plan to increase or prioritize spending towards

environmental, social, and governance goals next year - compared to 57% for the

past 12 months. Much of that spending is in reaction to environmental pressures,

such as reducing emissions and meeting ESG goals, the second highest pressure

prompting investment in technology overall. Business leaders are realizing the role that enterprise IT itself plays as a contributor

to a company’s environmental challenges as well as an effective way to address

sustainability. IT leaders will join the push for more sustainable businesses by

adopting sustainable cloud and computing, reducing electronic waste, and ensuring

IT can also be a key enabler of data and insights that help an enterprise achieve its

sustainability goals. Time will tell how closely actual spending compares with these projections. In the

meantime, the survey offers important insights into how business leaders plan to

allocate resources at a time when many are battening down the hatches for a

challenging year to come. Source: https://newsroom.ibm.com
