The NOA concept aims to make production data simply ‘safe’ and ‘secure’ for plant and asset monitoring and optimisation. The basis here is still the traditional automation structure, which is complemented by an additional second channel. Namely, the monitoring and optimisation (M+O) domain.

From precise fault identification and perfecting maintenance intervals, minimising downtimes and ensuring compliance to increased safety: the relevance and necessity of Predictive Maintenance will become increasingly important for the industry in the future.

NOA – NAMUR OPEN Architecture – is powerfully on the move. Two terms keep coming up: M+C sensors and M+O sensors. M+O stands for maintenance and optimization. These are the new ones. These are the ones that detect the properties of process components (not the process medium). The detection of vibrations of machine parts such as pumps or valves has already become a classic example of pure M+O sensors.

Predictive Maintenance is one of the most frequently mentioned topics of digitization in the industrial environment. On the one hand, it is felt to be one of the saviours that brings enormous cost savings, on the other hand, the industry 4.0 index shows that predictive maintenance falls far short of expectations. Here, promises and reality seem to diverge widely. What is the reason for this?

This is not the first post on this blog dealing with change in the process industry and its automation. The changes not only affect individual technologies but also their interaction with each other. At the same time, they open up

When it comes to NOA, there is much talk about leaving the classic automation pyramid and the resulting consequences, especially with regard to (data) security. There is no question that this must be ensured. Many initiatives are on their way. This blog article aims to show why these efforts are worthwhile. The PAT demonstrator, which was presented at the NAMUR Annual General Meeting in 2018, serves as an example here.
How NOA can add value for process analytics Read More »
Where NOA comes into play: If process analysis technology delivers more and more complex data and experience sometimes requires changes, then we need an additional piece of intelligence. This is not properly stored in the analyzer. Because the type of intelligence is also determined by the process. In the control system, the additional data becomes tight; changes are possible there, but not necessarily popular. A separate software, for example in the form of an app, frees us from these restrictions and gives us the necessary flexibility for specific adaptations.

How will the automation pyramid look like in 5 to 10 years? Many initiatives will open automation systems for IIoT or Industry 4.0 applications. But this is a long journey. Follow our experts thoughts of how the evolution might change the automation pyramid!
