ISA Pune Section in collaboration with Sustainability ESG Roundtable & Centre for Sustainability Development (CSD), GIPE, Pune

held a Tech Talk on Sustainability.

Synopsis "Our day-to-day decisions drive the use of natural resources and the side effects of their use. Sustainability is an outcome of our having made these decisions better. This means that every individual must understand how these good decisions could be made. We must wonder why has the word 'sustainability' taken center stage today. As professionals, we carry immense responsibility for understanding and action to see us and our future generations alike sustain on this planet".

International Society of Automation - Pune Section's TechTalk on 

 on "Optimizing ENERGY EFFICIENCY THROUGH PROCESS AUTOMATION AND DATA ANALYTICS"

Speaker: Mr. Shripad Kulkarni

Lead : Innovation Management in Forbes Marshall.

Webinar on "Wireless Automation for Sustainability"

Key Topics Discussed in the Webinar

The mission statement of conducting this Webinar:

To spread awareness, educate, and disseminate information on the emerging FCG technologies, like Ethernet-APL, HART, Wireless HART, HART-IP 

and FOUNDATION Fieldbus, Field Device Integration (FDI), PA-DIM, etc. which are likely to transform the Process Automation infrastructure in the near days.

 Webinar on Topic “ Analytics in Power Measurement” Key Topics:

• Current industry pain points in Power measurement and billing
• Operational Efficiency in Preventive maintenance such as untimely breakdown, machine life degradation
• Operation cost of Power due to billing penalties in Power Factor, Maximum Demand.
• High initial cost of Power monitoring devices.
• Solutions to these pain points using Power Analytics & artificial intelligence.
• Introduction to MIDAS, a Power analysis tool, its Hardware and Software Features.

Explosion Protection Techniques and Technologies                                                             by Pepperl & Fuchs (I) Pvt Ltd.  

 With Industry 4.0, cyber physical systems are connected and need of the day is to ensure protection of these systems from any security threats generated internally and externally. ISA/IEC 62443 4-1 defines the practices for Secure product development lifecycle requirements. The objective here is to defense against negligent and willful actions to protect devices and facilities. The Secure development lifecycle (SDL) process activities includes security requirements definition, secure design, secure implementation with application of coding guidelines, verification and validation, defect management, patch management and product end-of-life. These requirements can be applied to new or existing processes for developing, maintaining and retiring hardware, software or firmware for new or existing products.  The process activities are initiated by identifying the secure components and performing a risk assessment on it, with respect to security threats while developing and deploying the product. 

The process will help to ensure that the security capabilities are implemented correctly in the product  

and that any known security vulnerabilities in the product are eliminated or mitigated. As far as we are looking from the perspective of minimizing the risk originated from a security threat, we can assure a level of confidence in the product.

 Developing a product, many times looks easy, but commercial success rate of product in given market is still very low. This requires not only the technical skills of the development but also requires understanding of exact market requirements, standards applicable and some differentiating factor to get success in the market.

We will go through need understanding of product till documentation and servicing of the product and understand key factors in it. This webinar would focus on understanding the user needs and scientific methods of need finding and converts them into specifications.

We are going to discuss examples, specifications, standards applicable for the Instrumentation or IOT based product development.

The adherence to the compliance and certification objectives dictated by functional safety and security standards like IEC 61508 pose multiple challenges for Industrial Control System suppliers.

Conformance with domain and country-specific regulatory guidelines requires planning from the early stages of the product/project lifecycle. A lack of understanding of compliance objectives causes
project delays and overruns, impacting resources, time and money; in extreme cases, perhaps resulting in punitive damages.

This webinar would focus on Functional Safety with respect to IEC 61508, the de facto standard and the basis of other functional safety standards for multiple safety-critical domains.
