The future of digital twins in orbital Spaceport construction and microgravity mining operations in the 5th Industrial Revolution.

The Space Economy is the 5th Industrial Revolution.
Just as oil fueled the 4th Industrial Revolution, so too will “rare earth” minerals mined from asteroids and meteors fuel the economy of the 5th Industrial Revolution.
This presentation will outline the crucial role that digital twins, AI and autonomy play in successfully launching expeditions to capture Quadrillion dollar resources in microgravity.

The Digital Twin. It’s not just for breakfast anymore.

If the lifecycle of a plant could be compressed into a single day, engineering, and constructing that plant would occur over breakfast. And as they say, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. To take this analogy a step further, what is eaten for breakfast can potentially affect how lunch and dinner goes. In other words, a terrible breakfast could lead to a terrible day – lunch and dinner are had through bad choices.
This goes on, and eventually a transformation is needed. And like all digital transformations, they are painful and expensive. And this “breakfast” doesn’t have to be at The Four Seasons. It can be prepared in the average company’s own kitchen, using tools likely already owned and used.
Getting the digital twin right in the beginning and using it the way it is meant to be used – a key component in today’s Operations Technology – can prevent a costly digital transformation later. It has the capability to push the facility to first-quartile performance much faster than ever expected or envisioned.

Insertion of Artificial Neural Network Algorithms into Digital Twins for Process Monitoring

Companies rely on various equipment to produce goods and services, but degradation over time can lead to failures. Maintaining equipment in good condition is crucial to ensure production performance and prevent additional costs, downtime, and environmental damage. Maintenance, aiming for availability, reliability, and safety, is essential. However, many maintenance models face challenges by considering only the health of components without information about system reliability. The increase in production data can be an advantage, and predicting failures through a neural network trained with operational data can be valuable support for

Making a Business Case for Developing an E-Governance Solution for Process Safety Management (PSM) Compliance

This presentation will describe the key issues faced by both the government regulatory bodies and process plant facilities, with the current non-digital (manual) method of PSM implementation, audit, and compliance. Recent modernisation initiatives of safety regulations undertaken by federal regulatory bodies such as OSHA and EPA in the United States are explained in the context of achieving the PSM compliance effectively and efficiently. The presentation will also report the outcome of a study on detailed comparison between OSHA’s 1992 regulatory impact analysis study and 2023 information collection requirement burden hour and cost estimate and will report the estimated the total economic burden of PSM compliance on the existing and future PSM covered facilities in the United States. The presentation will also unveil the idea of an e-governance solution that will potentially eliminate all the efficiency and effectiveness concerns faced by regulatory bodies and process plants in achieving a successful PSM implementation and comprehensive regulatory compliance in the United States of America.

The Human Side of Emerging Tech – AI, Predictive Analytics, Machine Learning.

In recent years, we have seen rapid advancements in fields such as artificial intelligence (AI), predictive analytics, and machine learning. While these technologies hold great promise for improving our lives and making organizations more efficient, we must not forget that they are ultimately designed and operated by humans.
Pop culture represents what I like to call the “Terminator Effect” which associates automation and autonomous systems with a level of fear. From replacing the human workforce to a full-on global takeover. In reality, we should not fear these technologies, but rather strive to understand them better so that we can use them more effectively.
“When used correctly, AI, predictive analytics, and machine learning can help us make better decisions, improve organizational efficiency, and even free up our time so that we can focus on more important tasks. However, we must remember that these technologies are only as good as the data that they are given and the humans who design and operate them.

Using AI / ML and Data Analytics to Optimize the STO (Shutdown, Turnaround , Outage) Work Process and Performance.

STO events have large business impact on an asset due to the cost of the event, the lost profit opportunity while the asset is offline, and the potential for safety and environmental impacts during the event.
Many of industry’s leaders have adopted a standard STO work process that contains key elements to deliver high degrees of STO readiness.
Experience shows that the critical success factors for achieving desirable STO outcomes involves both the quality of the work process and the quality of its implementation.
AI/ML techniques help us better understand large and highly complex data to help organizations make better decisions and optimize their work process to derive greater value and achieve better
STO performance (quality of the work process)
This presentation will provide real life examples of how we have used AI/ML to improve STO process and outcomes for oil and gas companies.
