Themes (to guide you craft an amazing presentation)

 

          1) Pipeline Control (Control Room Focus)

          - Leveraging Enterprise SCADA and Pipeline Operations to Automate Your Control Room (Advanced Logic Processor, Action                          Sequence, Flow Network) to improve safety or efficiency. 

          - Improving Operator Training with Pipeline Training Simulator and Improving Operator effectiveness through modern display styles              (ASM, API-1165). 

          - Layered Leak Detection Methods for increased performance and reliability, Leveraging a runtime simulation for improved safety                  and operational efficiency.  

          - Cybersecurity: architectures and best practices to improve your security posture, including architectures implemented with both                  Enterprise SCADA and PI System. 

                    - European Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and how it impacts the control room.  

                    - Control-room Response to a Cyber-incident.  

          - Operations and business benefits of IIOT protocols (OPC UA and MQTT). 

          - Best practices and success stories in keeping systems current. Emphasis on Sustainable software goals and transition towards                    "future proofing" your digital investments. 

          - Reducing the surface area of change management. Letting SCADA be SCADA: reducing the point count inside the control room,                  and getting all the extra data into the building for analytics via IIOT techniques. 

          - Pipeline Safety Management (API RP 1173) related initiatives. 

 

 

          2) Optimized Operations with Data and Analytics (Digital                      Transformation)

          - Leveraging Operations Data and Analytics to improve safety, efficiency, and profitability 

          - Leveraging AVEVA technology to improve operations efficiency, safety, or controller situational awareness 

          - Digital Transformation initiatives leveraging AVEVA products 

          - PI System / Asset Framework success stories 

          - Empowering users throughout the organization with solutions that combine operations, IT, and engineering data 

          - Pipeline business and operations optimization powered by AI, analytics, and simulation technologies 

          - Solutions involving alarm management best practices in analyzing and reducing false alarms 

          - E.g. solutions that reduced your alarm load 

          - Reporting that has been developed for regulators 

 

 

          3) Technology and Infrastructure

          - Interesting uses of technology, infrastructure and techniques that improved the life of the control room, compliance, upgradability,              including:

                    - Virtualization and Containers

                    - Hyper-convergence

                    - SQL clustering

                    - Networking

          - IT/OT success stories. IT/OT convergence or alignment that is essential for your business, and challenges overcome around                          budget and resources. 

 

 

          4) Cloud

          - Organization goals, visions and initiatives 
          - What are you being asked to do from your company?  
          - Are there goals in IT and/or OT around adoption of cloud? 
          - Examples of cloud solutions that deliver on expectations for Digital Transformation, Total Cost Reduction, Collaboration, Analytics 
          - Examples of cloud or corporate solutions resulting in data being brought back into the control room within the SCADA system             (instead of the business console on the same desk) 
          - Sharing data with internal and external customers 
          - Challenges adopting cloud technologies for the control room, or control room adjacent workflows and how they were overcome 
          - Consider the usual suspects: latency, security, and privacy, and any other that you overcame along the way
