The increase in available digital transformation technologies and applications has introduced new methods for intelligent asset monitoring and real-time data collection. This has led to digitalization in energy industries using Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) which will improve intelligent asset monitoring through real-time models with more emphasis on communications, modern protocols, and Artificial intelligence (AI) as the underlying requirements.
Traditionally, generation sites have been slow adopters in implementing digital transformation technologies. This presentation will look at how a traditional generation site has attempted to use digital transformation technology for data driven monitoring.
The presentation will also look at how the generation site has addressed different issues associated with adopting digital transformation technologies, specifically evaluation criteria for IoT devices, interoperability and different architectures implemented on site.
The presentation will also show a completed end to end example of a practical install on a generation site.
