COVER STORY

COVER STORY commodity prices and the more stable nature of domestic power prices is overshadowed by the need to consider a multitude of socio-economic and geopolitical vulnerabilities. The role of PLN shall improve, precisely following the path taken in the nation’s airline, shipping and telecommunications industries.

WHY RESCTRUCTURING THE INDONESIA ELECTRICITY MARKET IS IMPERATIVE

O

ver the past few years, one of Indonesia’s stateowned enterprises, PLN, has conducted dialogues focused on developing a new value-creative business model to transform itself, a sleepy regulated utility, into a truly competitive electricity service provider. Prompted by an intrinsic motivation behind the restructuring of the Indonesian electricity market and when market deregulation is prudently structured, the combination of competitive services, asset divestiture and new investments should minimize the net cost of generation and result in competitive retail prices for electricity. These conditions will improve the standard of living of Indonesians. We have witnessed a tenacious and systematic tide of power deregulation worldwide from North America to Europe to Australia and most recently in Japan that has transformed government-sanctioned monopolies into truly unfettered market economies. Of equal importance, the conservative electric utility business model, regulatory structures and cost allocation methodologies for power grid services are being defied by technology-driven, entrepreneurial and deregulated businesses. These transformations are inevitable because a regulated electricity market shall result in an economically inefficient use of resources and make it difficult to respond to the snowballing demand for electricity and renewable energy sources.

6

Further, the evolving electricity ecosystem is emerging at the confluence of smart grid/metering technologies and consumer empowerment (i.e., conservation and demand management), allowing customers to become both producers and consumers. Considering the collective experience of the restructuring of electricity markets in the US, Canada, and the UK, the following are the four key drivers of a successful deregulation process. First, promoting fair electricity market competition by dismantling monopolies. In essence, when the generation of electricity is separated from the sale of electricity, retailers and customers have the freedom to select their electricity providers. This condition sparks natural competition among electricity providers, which further forces them to improve generation efficiency. Retailers must then be vigilant in their procurement approach and sale of power to consumers. Second, attracting private investment in electricity generation to meet increasing domestic demand. The number of players in the market has to be optimized to achieve a fair and equal competitive market. Third, focus on cleaner power technologies such as cogeneration, combined-cycle generation and renewable energy including photovoltaics, waves, tides, waste-to-energy and so on because of escalating environmental concerns that increase the net cost of energy production.

There are several available strategic options for PLN as the electricity market continues to evolve and transform, including distribution system optimization, accelerating technology enhancement (i.e., smart grid infrastructure), demand management programs (i.e., smart meters) and access to new capital.

Fourth, establishing default price ceilings that are sufficiently high to promote competition. If the default price ceiling is regulated merely at the margin, it may discourage electricity retailers from participating in the deregulated market. Efforts to preserve the prominence of the country’s electricity sector have been ongoing as the sector is still experiencing sustained rolling blackouts, net import dependency and lack of transmission facility enforcement throughout the Indonesian archipelago. The journey to a fully deregulated market began in mid-2009 with the passage of Decree No. 30/2009 on electricity, which supplanted Decree No. 15/1985. Decree No. 30/2009 changed the way electricity is distributed to millions of residential, commercial and industrial customers and paved the way for the creation of a structure for a partially deregulated market, with independent power producers (IPPs) allowed to generate and sell electricity to their captive consumers and/or utility companies based on specific power purchase agreements. The latest ratified decree, No. 42/2012, stipulates that IPPs who own physical transmission and distribution (T&D) infrastructure may lease their network to other IPPs. As a result, private investors are not mandated to develop their own T&D network but could instead sign commercial lease contracts with PLN. However, PLN still remains heavily subsidized and functions as the grid operator that possesses and controls the national monopoly on the T&D system.

It is clear that PLN must proactively define and reinvigorate its vision and execute a value-accretive strategy in the face of emerging events. PLN may advisedly offer a broader array of value-added products and services than the conventional function of poles and wires. In this case, PLN may be accountable for operating and maintaining the entire T&D network, administering the utility billing and customer information system and acting as a provider of last resort. The ripple effects of these new accountabilities are extensive. First, pervasive economic benefits from competition are abundant, such as lower grid costs and cheaper retail prices. Second, extra options allow customers to shop around for their best alternatives. Third, competition naturally provides new and innovative services for consumers. The restructuring of the Indonesian electricity market is imperative. The resulting tangible benefits include but are not limited to reduced generation costs, more competitive electricity prices and enhanced national competitiveness as a result of the improved standard of living and social safety net programs (i.e., job creation, food security, education, health and community empowerment) that Indonesians will embrace. The time has never been more critical to advance an open electricity market in Indonesia in which retail competition and consumer choice are the new norms, not the exceptions.

INDONESIA TIPPED AS POTENTIAL LARGEST CAR MAKER IN SOUTHEAST ASIA Indonesian workers work the assembly line of Toyota Motor’s Indonesian unit, Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indonesia (TMMIN) plant in Karawang industrial center outside Jakarta on December 3, 2012.

J

AKARTA: Indonesia has the potential to become the biggest carmaker in Southeast Asia within the next five years, the country’s automotive industry association Gaikindo said on Wednesday (Feb 3).

Indonesia can compete, and overtake Thailand’s automotive industry if the government gives the right incentives to boost production, said Gaikindo’s co-chairman Jongkie Sugiarto. “Indonesia has a good potential in ASEAN. In the coming years, Indonesia is going to be the leader in the automotive industry,” said Mr Jongkie. “It’s really a pity that (companies like) Ford are (pulling) out of Indonesia.” Ford is the second American carmaker to exit the Indonesian market in the past year, after General Motors stopped its manufacturing operations in 2015. Ford had been struggling to maintain profitability. However, Mr Jongkie is convinced Ford’s pullout will not affect Indonesia’s automotive industry. Currently, about 1 million cars are for domestic production, but only 0.2 million units are produced for exports. With Indonesia’s automotive industry having the annual production capacity to build 1.9 million cars, this leaves 0.7 million units in excess capacity. Gaikindo believes the country needs to expand its production base to make the most of this.

“We have to add the production base of MPVs, plus sedans, plus pick-ups, plus SUVs,” said Mr Jongkie. “How? It’s easy. We have to lower the luxury tax of small sedans, small SUVs, pick-ups from 30 per cent today to 10 per cent. There will be a demand. So, when these models are growing, then the principals will come and say why don’t we produce the cars in the country?” Gaikindo submitted its proposals to President Joko Widodo in October 2015, and the government is considering changing the tariff regime in the automotive industry. Analysts believe the government is serious in attracting more foreign manufacturers as it tries to move away from a commodity-based economy. “Our government’s commitment to increase manufacturing is very strong,” said Myrdal Gunarto, an economist at Maybank Indonesia. “The government has released some stimulus packages that aim to attract foreign investors to come here through deregulations, and to make it easier for foreign companies to invest in Indonesia.” Gaikindo predicts car sales this year will increase by 5 per cent, in line with the government’s target to achieve 5.5 per cent economic growth in 2016. source: channel news asia

complex parts of the assembly process faster, easier, and safer.

But what breakthrough equipment, ideas, and processes will have the greatest impact on factory environments? The following four technology categories are already driving much of the change.

Cobotics is rapidly gaining momentum, and successful implementations to date have focused largely on specific ergonomically challenging tasks within the aerospace and automotive industries. But these applications will expand as automation developers introduce more sophisticated sensors and more adaptable, highly functional robotic equipment that will let humans and machines interact deftly on the factory floor.

• Internet of Things (IoT): The connected factory is an idea that has been evolving for the past few years. Increasingly, it means expanding the power of the Web to link machines, sensors, computers, and humans in order to enable new levels of information monitoring, collection, processing, and analysis.

MANUFACTURERS MUST EMBRACE TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES TO IMPROVE PLANT PRODUCTIVITY, COMPETE AGAINST RIVALS, AND MAINTAIN AN EDGE WITH CUSTOMERS Despite market uncertainty, manufacturers must weather the risk that comes with embracing new technologies.

T

he sting of 2001 and 2008 is still too painful for some industrial manufacturing companies to forget. Back then, global economic expansion enticed industrial manufacturers to invest in new equipment and technologies designed to improve factory performance for themselves and their customers. When markets unexpectedly crashed, they paid a steep price for having bought at the top of the cycle. The payoff took years to realize, if it appeared at all. This recollection colors the tentative steps that many industrial manufacturing companies are taking today. Indeed, economic growth, although occurring, isn’t particularly robust. It’s anybody’s guess whether China is heading for a soft landing or a renewed takeoff. The Eurozone’s future and the prospects for Brazil, India, and Russia are impossible to read. It’s tempting to believe that a boardroom version of “the prevent defense” — avoiding possible big losses by taking few chances — may be the best strategy. But that conclusion is a false choice. Manufacturing may be facing some headwinds, but it’s undeniably in the midst of a technological renaissance that is transforming the look, systems, and processes of the modern factory. Despite the risks — and despite recent history — industrial manufacturing companies

cannot afford to ignore these advances. By embracing them now, they can improve productivity in their own plants, compete against rivals, and maintain an edge with customers who are seeking their own gains from innovation. Rather than fearing the past, industrial manufacturing executives should be asking these critical questions: At a time of rapid change and limited upside, which technology investments will have the biggest positive impact on my business? And what is the value potential, return on investment, and risk of investing in these technologies? Technological Transformation Given today’s leading-edge capabilities, it’s reasonable to envision — and prepare for — a data-driven factory of the future where all internal and external activities are connected through the same information platform. Customers, designers, and operators will share information on everything from initial concepts, to installation, to performance feedback throughout the life cycle. Operators will access materials on demand, collaborate with robots to use them safely and ergonomically, and rely on virtual work instructions presented at the point of use. Assembly lines will output highly personalized products, sometimes in a lot

These devices provide more precision and can translate collected data into insights that, for example, help to determine the amount of voltage used to produce a product or to better understand how temperature, pressure, and humidity impact performance. Stanley Black & Decker has adapted the Internet of Things in a plant in Mexico to monitor the status of production lines in real time via mobile devices and Wi-Fi RFID tags. As a result, overall equipment effectiveness has increased by 24 percent, labor utilization by 10 percent, and throughput by 10 percent. But for industrial manufacturing companies, the next generation of IoT technology should go well beyond real-time monitoring to connected information platforms that leverage data and advanced analytics to deliver higher-quality, more durable, and more reliable products. A hint of this can be seen in wind turbines manufactured by General Electric. This equipment contains some 20,000 sensors that produce 400 data points per second. Immediate, ongoing analysis of this data allows GE and its customers to optimize turbine performance and proactively make decisions about maintenance and parts replacement. Before investing in IoT, however, industrial manufacturing companies must determine precisely what data is most valuable to collect, as well as gauge the efficacy of the analytical structures that will be used to assess the data. In addition, next-generation equipment will require a next-generation mix of workers, which should include employees who can design and build IoT products as well as data scientists who can analyze output. • Robotics: Over the last decade, China emerged as an automated manufacturing powerhouse, as increased labor costs and booming industrial demand drove tremendous growth in industrial robotics. Since 2013, the number of shipments of multipurpose industrial robots in China roughly doubled to an estimated 75,000 in 2015, with that number forecast to double yet again to 150,000 by 2018, according to the International Federation of Robotics. Yet although a Chinese company recently broke ground on the world’s first fully automated factory, in Dongguan, the widespread use of robotics and unmanned control technologies may not address all productivity concerns. Indeed, some manufacturers believe that greater automation is harmful, resulting in less innovation because only people can develop ideas to improve processes and products. Consequently, robotic implementation is evolving on a different path in the U.S. and other mature economies. In many cases, robots are employed to complement rather than replace workers. This concept, known as “cobotics,” teams operators and machines in order to make

• Augmented reality: Recent advances in computer vision, computer science, information technology, and engineering have enabled manufacturers to deliver real-time information and guidance at the point of use. Users simply follow the text, graphics, audio, and other virtual enhancements superimposed onto goggles or real assemblies as they perform complex tasks on the factory floor. These tools can simultaneously assess the accuracy and timing of these tasks, and notify the operator of quality risks. Some industrial manufacturing companies are using this technology to provide hands-free training, enable faster responses to maintenance requests, track inventory, increase safety, and provide a real-time view of manufacturing operations. In more than a few instances, these added services could be sold as add-ons to the equipment itself, creating a new revenue stream for industrial manufacturing firms. Among the possible applications is an assembly-line instructional feature in which video clips or text instructions walk workers through complex processes step-by-step. Mistakes resulting from fatigue or onthe-job pressure are eliminated. Another possibility involves using data and physical evidence retrieved by augmented reality on the factory floor to design new equipment that addresses the shortcomings of present-day devices on the assembly line. • 3D printing: Also known as additive manufacturing, 3D printing technology produces solid objects from digital designs by building up multiple layers of plastic, resin, or other materials in a precisely determined shape. Early adopters among industrial manufacturing companies are using 3D printing to manufacture parts in small lots for product prototypes, to reduce designto-manufacturing cycle times, and to dramatically alter the economics of production. For example, BAE Systems turned to 3D printing when it could no longer secure a critical injectionmolded plastic part for a regional jetliner. The company saved more than 60 percent on the cost of the part, avoided retooling costs, and shrank production lead times by two months. Source: strategyand

Smarter Embedded Designs,

INDUSTRIAL MANUFACTURERS SHOULD APPLY 3D PRINTING TECHNOLOGY TO PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AND PROTOTYPING TO SPUR INNOVATION AND REDUCE TIME-TO-MARKET pixelmedia.bg

Faster Deployment

printing is still in its infancy, and the technology is currently limited in the performance specifications of the products it can produce. But companies must begin planning for the incorporation of this technology now. As an initial step, industrial manufacturing companies should apply 3D printing technology to the product development and prototyping process, where its speed and flexibility can spur innovation and reduce time-to-market. The next step could be to use 3D printing to make highly specialized, low-volume parts that are components or subassemblies of finished products, or to create tools for the molding, casting, or forming of products.

the technology, and how feasible is it that it will evolve to reliably deliver on the performance goals?

New Risk and Reward Equation

Although the emerging technologies are potentially transformative, they are unfolding against a backdrop of uncertainty among industrial manufacturing companies. In the fourth-quarter 2015 PwC Manufacturing Barometer™, which surveys U.S.-based industrial manufacturing executives, only 27 percent of industrial manufacturing CEOs expressed optimism about the global economy. Industrial manufacturers’ estimated mean revenue growth, moreover, declined to 1.8 percent in 2015, from 5.2 percent in the prior year, according to this report. Worse yet, just 31 percent of companies are operating near full capacity in the fourth quarter, a decline of 26 percentage points in the past 12 months.

In our view, industrial manufacturing executives should consider investments in emerging technologies through three paths of analysis: 1. Determine the specific areas to improve in your organization, or what performance target a technology investment is trying to achieve. How will the investment impact cost, quality, labor, or other strategic concerns? How will the new technology help differentiate the value you provide to customers? Will it create capacity or generate productivity in the constrained parts of your operations? Will the technology provide increased flexibility to help you deal with uncertainty? 2. Understand how the new technologies will enable that level of performance—and weigh the value of achieving that performance against the cost of the technology. What level of output should the facility be able to create today, and how much improvement can be expected over time as the technology continues to evolve? Who are the current industry leaders in each technology category, and what tangible impact is their technology having? What is the clock speed of 12

3. Understand the operational and organizational implications of the technology and how it aligns with the factory of the future vision. How does it help or hurt operators or the culture? How should teaming and incentives models evolve to optimize new technology? How scalable is the technology? How well does it integrate into a company’s technology backbone and global footprint?

Still, this data should be viewed as the springboard for calculated action. Rapid factory innovation is altering the risk/ reward equation. A timid response to seemingly tepid economic conditions can quickly place businesses in jeopardy — behind competitors and unable to address customer needs — even as markets improve in the coming years. We’ve found that making strategic investments is essential for growth, particularly in fastevolving industries. Given that manufacturing technology is evolving faster than ever before, many of the technologies being introduced today will be commonplace within five or 10 years. Industrial products executives must lead with an eye toward that reality, and not merely the current bottom line. Source: strategyand

HOW DOES INDUSTRY 4.0 AFFECT BUSINESS?

The Rover’s local sensors observe its surroundings and its software analyses the resulting data, takes decisions and gives driving commands that are executed by the mechanical parts. These concepts have already been implemented in the parking assistance and collision prevention functions in certain cars. The major features of cyber-physical systems clearly include sensors that observe their surroundings and embedded artificial intelligence to autonomously monitor and drive the system.

Dr. Wolfgang Martin, Wolfgang Martin Team

ndustry 4.0 is an initiative of the German government to promote computerisation in traditional industry sectors, such as production engineering.

The goal of the project is the Smart Factory, to include fundamental technologies like cyber-physical systems and the internet of things. The term Industry 4.0, which is almost exclusively used in Germany, denotes the fourth stage of the industrial revolution. Following on from the invention of steam-driven machines, conveyor belts and office computerisation, the focus is now on the integration of web technologies and artificial intelligence in products and production engineering. Outside Germany, Industry 4.0 is better known as Industrial Internet. One of the Industry 4.0 technologies is cyber-physical systems, which combine computer and mechanical technologies and are also known as mechatronics. They are instrumental in the creation of systems that are as autonomous as possible. They include the initial steps towards driverless cars, such as the Google Car, as well as the Rover that is discovering Mars since 2004 (It is still active!). Although the Mars Rover is managed from a control centre, it is an autonomous device. Due to the time it takes to transmit a signal from Earth to Mars, the Rover cannot be piloted with “normal” remote control.

With its Industry 4.0 initiative, the German government is focusing on the “Smart Factory,” on intelligent production systems and processes as well as the creation of distributed and networked production sites. The goal is to strengthen and advance Germany’s position as an industrial and exporting country – manufacturing that has been outsourced to low-wage countries can be brought back to Germany. However, there is a long way to go before we achieve Industry 4.0. There are still difficulties in mastering security and managing the volume of communications and data.

One only needs to imagine a system failure in a driverless car going at 130km/h on a motorway, or a cyber-attack on a production site in full operation! As for the management and analysis of very large data volumes, this is covered by the term “big data”, for which new technologies and processes have been appearing on the market in very fast innovation cycles and are maturing now. These problems appear to be relatively easy to resolve. Other issues include the question of the standardisation of protocols and interfaces. At the end of the day, this will depend on industry’s willingness to collaborate on Industry 4.0 initiatives.

Security is clearly the top priority. It covers two main aspects: the reliability of the embedded software and protection from hacking.

“BATAM’S LARGEST INDUSTRIAL & MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY SHOWCASE!”

Cyber-physical systems have the potential to significantly increase productivity in manufacturing and in the supply chain. Processes that have only controlled production workflow are now being extended to objects (or devices). These objects become a part of a process, and processors are embedded into objects. This phenomenon can be summarised by the term “Smart Factory”, a combination of enterprise-wide production logistics, man-machine and machinemachine interaction as well as 3D replication in industrial applications. The result is more autonomy and smart production processes that can control and regulate themselves. The advantages include manufacturing process optimisation that goes beyond Lean Manufacturing, along with the avoidance of damage and accidents due to the timely detection of problems and risks.

This is already a familiar concept in IT with self-healing systems, in which any errors that arise are detected and resolved by the system itself.

The Industry 4.0 initiative is designed to carry this concept over to things like production processes on the meta level and products themselves on the instance level. An example would be the creation of a 3D replicator seen as a production process whose end product is the 3D replicator.

To remain competitive and gain more flexibility and efficiency, manufacturers must modernize and completely integrate their manufacturing infrastructures. Many industry experts conclude that there needs to be major changes in the entire manufacturing architecture. The holistic vision is real-time linking of supply chain, design, manufacturing, outbound logistics, and lifecycle service. This integration can only be accomplished by leveraging the latest technologies, and automation is a fundamental component for this transition to be successful. The adoption of new technology during times of significant innovation is critical for manufacturing success. If your competitors adopt better methodologies and technology they may outpace you in the marketplace. Many times history repeats itself. Consider the history of the automotive industry and the loss of market share by the Unites States. On December 1, 1913, Henry Ford perfected the assembly line by installing driven conveyor belts that could

18

produce a Model T in 93 minutes. Ford’s assembly-line had immense influence on the world by dramatically increasing production efficiency. This efficiency allowed Ford to decrease the cost of the Model T so it fell within the budget of the American middle class. The mass market for automobiles emerged. Ford’s success was dominating and quickly spread worldwide. Competitors had to implement assembly lines, or risk going broke because they could not compete. In 1960, 48% of all automobiles were produced in the United States. By 1997 the number was down to 23% - that is more than a 50% loss of market share. By 1997, Japan produced 21% of automobiles. Success of the Japanese automotive manufacturers was attributed to advanced manufacturing methods, aggressive automation, and aggressive use of robotics. During that same timeframe, United States automakers had access to the same technologies and methods, but they did not take advantage of them until compelled by economic factors. The point was proven again when Hyundai Motor Company started producing automobiles in 1967. By 2014, the company manufactured 10.6% of vehicles on the global market.

The first and most visible initiative is the German Industry 4.0 initiative created in 2006. Industry 4.0 focuses academia, research institutions and industry as part of a 10-point high-tech plan in Germany’s strategy to be the leading supplier of products. The initiative is being driven by serious government and industry investments. It is refreshing to see that this German initiative has adopted worldwide standards including ISA 95 and OPC UA. It was also noted at the 2015 ODVA general assembly meeting that industry 4.0 demonstrations at Hannover Messe 2016 will incorporate products that conform to ODVA standards. Make in India Make in India was launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on September 25, 2014 to promote growth of India’s manufacturing industry. Make in India is an initiative of the Government of India to encourage multinational, as well as domestic, companies to manufacture their products in India. India made this announcement globally as the partner country at the 2015 Hannover Messe. India will leverage Industry 4.0 concepts and new technology in initiatives for manufacturing, smart cities, and overall infrastructure as part of the country’s Digital India initiative. Made in China 2025 Chinese Premier Li Keqiang announced their Made in China 2025 initiative while delivering the 2015 annual government work report. “We will implement the ‘Made in China 2025’ strategy, seek innovation-driven development, apply smart technologies, strengthen foundations, pursue green development and redouble our efforts to upgrade China from a manufacturer of quantity to one of quality,” said Keqiang. Nine tasks are stated priorities: improving manufacturing innovation, integrating technology and industry, strengthening the industrial base, fostering Chinese brands, enforcing green manufacturing, promoting breakthroughs in 10 key sectors, advancing restructuring of the manufacturing sector, promoting service-oriented manufacturing and manufacturing-related service industries, and internationalizing

manufacturing. Ten key sectors for the strategy include new information technology, numerical control tools and robotics, aerospace equipment, ocean engineering equipment and hightech ships, railway equipment, energy saving and new energy vehicles, power equipment, new materials, medicine and medical devices, and agricultural machinery. Made in China 2025 will span the whole manufacturing industry, applying advanced ideas from Germany, Japan, United States and Britain, among others, said officials. Smart Manufacturing Leadership Coalition (SMLC) SMLC was founded in the United States to overcome the costs and risks associated with commercialization of Smart Manufacturing (SM) systems. SMLC’s mission is to lead the industrial sector transformation into a networked, informationdriven environment in which an open Smart Manufacturing Platform supports real-time, high value applications for manufacturers. The mission is to optimize production systems and value chains, and radically improve sustainability, productivity, innovation and customer-service. SMLC intends to develop a cloud-based, open architecture manufacturing infrastructure and marketplace through the collaboration of manufacturing thought leaders across industry, academia, consortia and government. SMLC’s goals include plant level systems and data integration, accelerate the development and deployment of reusable applications, provide an open and secure infrastructure accessible and affordable to all, embrace evolving business needs and new market opportunities agilely. All of these initiatives have the common thread of the application of new technologies, most prominently IoT, to improve all aspects of industry including design, supply chain, manufacturing automation, and lifecycle management. These initiatives are part of an evolution that will lead to more responsive and efficient production. Bottom Line While each part of the world has an initiative addressing a wide range of issues, they have common technology threads and they adopt common worldwide industry standards. Manufacturing and automation professionals should study these initiatives and strongly consider their future automation investment strategies.

HENGLI LETS TECHNOLOGY CONTRACT FOR CHINESE REFINING COMPLEX By Robert Brelsford (OGJ Downstream Technology Editor)

H

engli Petrochemical (Dalian) Co. Ltd. (HPDC) has let a contract to a division of E.I. DuPont de Nemours & Co. to provide process technologies for an alkylation unit to be built at HPDC’s grassroots crude-toparaxylene integrated refining and petrochemical project in Hengli Petrochemical Industrial Park (HPIP) on Changxing Island in Dalian, Liaoning Province, China. As part of the contract, DuPont Clean Technologies will supply alkylation and spent acid regeneration (SAR) technologies for the refinery, including licensing and engineering design packages for the proprietary STRATCO alkylation and MECS SAR units, DuPont said. The STRATCO alkylation unit and associated technology will enable the refinery to produce high-quality alkylate for gasoline blending from a feedstock of 100% isobutylene, the service provider said. The alkylation unit’s STRATCO contactor reactor additionally will be equipped with DuPont’s patented XP2 technology to maximize effectiveness and efficiency in the unit’s tube bundle-heat transfer area to further improve quality of alkylate production.

DuPont, which disclosed neither a value of the contract nor proposed unit capacities, said installation of the new units is planned for 2018, with start-up scheduled for 2019. HPDC previously let a contract to Axens SA, RueilMalmaison, France, to provide a suite of processing units and technologies for a new integrated refining complex (OGJ Online, Feb. 10, 2016), which is to include a final-conversion refinery designed to process 400,000 b/sd of crude oil into mostly naphtha, as well as an aromatics plant that will maximize output of high-purity paraxylene to be used as feedstock for HPDC’s existing purified terephthalic acid (PTA) plants at HPIP. In addition to high-purity paraxylene, the new crude-toparaxylene complex also will produce gasoline and diesel fuels that meet China 5-quality specifications, as well as jet fuel, base lube oils, and LPG. HPDC, which broke ground on the crude-to-paraxylene refining complex in late 2015, plans to invest a total of 74 billion yuan to complete the integration project, which is the largest refinery project in China ever to be approved, HPDC said. source: ogj

HONEYWELL UOP DETAILS CONTRACT LET FOR SOCAR REFINERY REVAMP

H

oneywell UOP LLC, a subsidiary of Honeywell International Inc., has released additional details of its earlier contract award from State Oil Co. of Azerbaijan Republic (SOCAR) to provide technology and licensing for installations to be built as part of the company’s ongoing modernization and expansion program at the Heydar Aliyev refinery at Baku in Azerbaijan. First announced by SOCAR in November 2015 (OGJ Online, Nov. 3, 2015), the contract calls for delivery of Honeywell UOP process technology and licensing aimed at enabling the refinery to efficiently boost production of high-quality gasoline conforming to Euro 5-quality emissions standards to help meet Azerbaijan’s growing domestic demand for cleaner transportation fuels. Specifically, Honeywell UOP will license the following suite of its proprietary technologies for Baku’s modernization: • Honeywell UOP’s Penex process, for production of isomerate, a cleaner gasoline blend stock free of benzene, aromatics, and olefins. • Honeywell UOP’s coker naphtha hydrotreating process, for removal of contaminants from naphtha streams to enable production of higher-quality gasoline blend stock. • Honeywell UOP’s Merox process, for treatment of naphtha feedstock in order to meet finished-product specifications. • Honeywell UOP’s Ethermax process, for conversion of isobutylene and methanol into a high-octane methyl tertiary butyl ether blending agent free of benzene and aromatics. • Honeywell UOP’s sulfide oxidation process, for conversion of refinery waste streams into low-pH effluent that can be handled

within the refinery’s water treatment facility. • Honeywell UOP’s fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) process technology, for upgrading of the refinery’s existing FCC unit to enable conversion of vacuum gas oil to gasoline and other distillate-range products. Alongside technology licensing for the naphtha hydrotreater, FCC, isomerization units, amine-treating units, LPG Merox unit, MTBE unit, and sulfur-removal units, Honeywell UOP also will provide SOCAR basic engineering designs and a process revamp study as part of the contract, Honeywell said. Honeywell UOP, which previously executed the feasibility study for the Heydar Aliyev revamp and is implementing work related to STAR Rafineri AS’s planned 214,000-b/d SOCAR Turkey Aegean Refinery (Star) in Aliaga, Turkey (OGJ Online, Dec. 16, 2014), did not disclose a value of the current contract. Designed to be implemented in stages during 201519, the Heydar Aliyev refinery’s revamp, once completed, will crude processing capacity to about 7.5 million tonnes/year from its current 6 million-tpy capacity, resulting in 100% production of fuels that meet Euro 5-quality standards as well as high-quality raw feedstock to be transported via pipeline to an associated ethylene and polyethylene plant operated by SOCAR subsidiary Azerikimya Production Union (OGJ Online, Mar. 8, 2016; Feb. 11, 2016). The modernization program at Baku follows the Jan. 1 shutdown and subsequent merger of processing activities at SOCAR’s Azerneftyag refinery with those of the nearby Heydar Aliyev refinery as part of the company’s strategy to eliminate economically inefficient production activities and management structures associated with the operation of two separate refineries (OGJ Online, Dec. 29, 2014).

THE PATH FROM CNC- TO PLCCONTROLLED GANTRIES Breaking with the industry tradition of CNC-controlled gantries, Harry Major Machine devises a new approach to industrial gantry control with help from Siemens. By David Greenfield , Director of Content/Editor-in-Chief

T

hough the Detroit area still struggles with its economically blighted perception, the reality is that industry in the area continues to forge ahead with new ideas—not only to maintain existing operations, but as part of a larger effort to help rebuild Detroit’s industries and communities. During a recent visit to attend the annual Manufacturing in America event, hosted bySiemens and Electro-matic, I had the opportunity to visit Harry Major Machine in Clinton, Mich., less than 30 miles from downtown Detroit. In the company’s 100,000 square foot facility, Harry Major Machine builds conveyor systems, assembly and test systems, laser marking systems and multiple types of industrial washers, as well as dry cleaning and cooling products. The company also develops cableless and robotic gantry systems for pick-and-place and handling/sorting/loading applications. “Most work we do here is systems integration,” said Curt Major, who has been president of the company (founded in 1962) since 1989. “Most manufacturing sites are set up around cells, and we develop and integrate those cells here with minimal

26

integration required on site, though we also do that too,” he added. One of Harry Major Machines’ new systems highlighted by Curt during my visit was a new PLC-controlled robotic gantry. The motion control systems of most gantries are CNC-based (as CNC controlled gantries were recognized as being faster than PLC/servo-driven gantries), but Harry Major Machine become interested in a PLC approach to address the high engineering and maintenance support requirements of CNC-controlled gantries. Major noted that these new PLC-controlled gantries can operate at speeds of “up to 4 meters per second.” Beyond expanding and enhancing gantry control possibilities, Major knew this new PLC-controlled gantry also needed to address specific customer needs for unique performance specifications—ranging from speed, uptime and cost requirements to individual plant layout specifications. With these goals in mind, Harry Major Machine set out to design a PLC-based linear, XYZ-type gantry that is userfriendly, easy to maintain, and able to multitask without major

logic changes. The company now offers five models of PLCbased gantries, with the model numbers representing each system’s lifting capacity in kilograms: MGL-30, MGL-50, MGL150, MGL-250 and MGL-500. Creating The New Gantry Explaining the development process behind the creation of this new gantry series, Frank Loria, vice president of Harry Major Machine, pointed out that “Siemens came to us with advanced and relevant technologies [for use on the series] including total integrated diagnostics and safety.” Siemens products used in this new series of PLC-controlled

coordinated multiple-axis applications. The drives also feature vector and servo functionalities for motion control. • Simatic MP277 mobile panel—a mobile HMI device with TFT (thin film transistor) display, 64k colors and 18 function keys with LED. It is operable via touch screens and membrane keyboards. It connects to Profibus, Profinet and Ethernet. Safety functions of the system architecture are available on the mobile panel— including a button that stops the machine in critical situations. These features, as well as the overall system architecture and digital communication options across the devices, allowed for implementation of the customized drive solutions that Harry Major Machine wanted this line of gantries to have for flexibility and increased productivity.

Gantries Include: New Gantry Benefits • Simatic S71516F controller, which is part of the Siemens advanced S7-1500 range of failsafe CPUs. Specific features of this controller that led Harry Major Machine to select it for the new gantry series are: integration with Siemens TIA (Totally Integrated Automation) Portal for quick software development and deployment, consistent data storage, and its smart library concept to simplify use of universal functions. These fail-safe controllers also feature integrated diagnostics with fault analysis and troubleshooting to reduce commissioning and downtime. Embedded diagnostics was a critical feature for Harry Major Machine, as it enables the gantries’ servo motors, PLC, HMI and I/O devices to talk to one another.

According to Harry Major Machine, some of the benefits the company is able to deliver to its customers with these new PLC-controlled gantries compared to CNC-controlled models include: • A 25 percent increase in uptime; • Fault recovery times improved by 35 percent; • Compatibility with a variety of robot technologies, including automation systems and industrial parts washers offered by Harry Major Machine; • The ability to feed multiple machines; and • Configurability into “I” or “H” arrangements.

• Simatic TP1500 HMI with a 15.4-inch wide screen, a highresolution TFT display and touch screen controls.

individualisation and the many variants that we have today. We’re saving money and safeguarding our future by employing more people.”

The robots cannot handle the pace of change and the complexity of the key customisation options available for the company’s S-Class saloon at the 101-year-old Sindelfingen plant, which produces 400, 000 vehicles a year from 1,500 tons of steel a day.

The automotive industry is the largest user of industrial robots, according to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), accounting for nearly 100,000 units shipped in 2014. The total number of industrial robots in operation worldwide was 1.5m in 2014, while the IFR expects 1.3m more to come online in the next two years.

The dizzying number of options for the cars – from heated or cooled cup holders, various wheels, carbon-fibre trims and decals, and even four types of caps for tire valves – demand adaptability and flexibility, two traits where humans currently outperform robots. Markus Schaefer, Mercedes-Benz’ head of production told Bloomberg: “Robots can’t deal with the degree of 28

But with increasing competition for consumers’ money in the luxury market, customisation has become key. At the same time, the rate at which models, technology and options change has increased as car makers have diversified their offerings. Skilled humans can change a production line in a weekend, where robots take weeks to reprogram and realign.

SANTIKA PREMIERE DYANDRA HOTEL & CONVENTION MEDAN, INDONESIA ‘People taking a bigger part’ Schaefer said: “We’re moving away from trying to maximise automation with people taking a bigger part in industrial processes again. We need to be flexible. The variety is too much to take on for the machines. They can’t work with all the different options and keep pace with changes.” Schaefer seeks to reduce the time taken to produce a car from 2005’s standard of 61 hours to just 30. To do so, Mercedes is shifting to what it calls “robot farming” - equipping workers with an array of smaller, lighter machines. Traditionally robots would operate behind safety fences in isolation from human workers. The change will mean smaller, more flexible systems that work side-by-side with humans will replace some of the large traditional robotic machines, including in the production of the new Mercedes E-Class. A human or a lightweight machine will replace two fixed robots for the alignment of the car’s new heads-up display, which projects speed and directions on to the windshield. Mercedes, the second-largest manufacturer of luxury cars, is not alone in this shift to more flexible systems. German competitors BMW and Audi are also testing robots equipped with

sensors and intelligence that are safe enough to work alongside humans.

The key is to maintain the qualities of robotics, consistency and reliability, while gaining an edge to be quicker to change as the automotive industry adapts to new technology. Traditional car manufacturers are increasingly coming under pressure from companies such as Tesla, born of the fast-paced technology industry.

Where a smartphone can be conceived, developed and put on sale within 18 months, a traditional car typically takes seven years to hit production. At the same time models have proliferated, customisation has become the key and massproduction simply isn’t good enough. To keep pace Mercedes will produce an additional 30 models by the end of the decade, with 10 new styles and more and more options from car fragrances to custom lighting.

RFID AND WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY

RFID AND WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY Cumulatively, 9.2 billion RFID tags have been sold in the retail market for use in item level tagging and CPG case and pallet tagging. Apparel tagging, which represents about 80 percent of market volume for passive RFID tags in 2015, will continue to see explosive growth. However, Das says that expansion into sectors such as asset management and logistics will shrink apparel’s share of the market to about 60 percent by 2018. Hardgrave says that retailers are chasing two new trends when it comes to RFID. For starters, they are now accustomed to thinking beyond initial use cases like inventory accuracy and outof-stocks, and putting more attention on secondary use cases like omni-channel and enhancing the customer experience.

Ralph Lauren is piloting a touch-screen mirror from Oak Labs that syncs with the store’s existing inventory and point of sale systems, offering an engaging consumer experience. This is expected to be just the beginning of new customer engagement techniques, which could also include dynamic pricing. Another major trend occurring in the retail sector is a willingness to look at broader portfolio of technology when it comes to deploying throughout a chain. Instead of relying solely on handheld readers for cycle counts, retailers are exploring door portals, point-of-sale solutions and overhead systems that illuminate an entire store.

“The appeal of those secondary use cases is actually starting to pull in some retailers who have been on the sidelines,” says Hardgrave. “Moving forward, retailers are going to start getting very creative and finding ways to differentiate themselves from competitors.”

“A couple of years ago this approach was unthinkable; everyone was laser focused on the same approach for each store,” says Hardgrave. “But this is something we’ve started to see in the last six months, and it sets up well for seeing some different deployments in 2016. It’s really interesting that we’ve moved down this path, and it generally shows the maturation of retailers with the technology.”

One example: Ralph Lauren’s trial of a RFID-enabled fitting rooms at its New York City flagship store on Fifth Avenue.

2016 SHOULD SEE STRONG GROWTH FOR IN RETAIL

R

FID technology made big strides in 2015. The apparel sector continued to lead the charge on tagging, with 3.75 billion clothing items carrying RFID tags. Cosmetics, electronics, alcohol and other consumer goods also began to see heavier tag usage. As we start a new year, 2016 holds even more promise. According to research firm IDTechEx, the apparel sector will consume 4.6 billion tags this year, an increase of 875 million tags. The 4.6 billion tags represents only about 10 percent of the entire apparel market, leaving strong room for growth. “There are massive rollouts coming in 2016,” says Bill Hardgrave, worldwide RFID expert and Dean of the Harbert College of Business at Auburn University. “We are still seeing accelerated adoption with more and more retailers and now brand owners getting involved.”

32

Several major events generated significant momentum

for RFID in 2015: - In May, Target unveiled that it is deploying RFID across all 1,795 stores, in what should be retail’s largest deployment to date. - Amazon confirmed that it is conducting pilots to use the technology throughout its worldwide supply chain. - Macy’s credited the inventory accuracy enabled from RFID for increasing sales and allowing it to roll out same-day delivery. - Sporting goods retailer Decathlon rolled out RFID to nearly 1,000 stores worldwide. - RFID solutions provider Impinj sold its 10 billionth chip. Raghu Das, CEO of IDTechEx, says that apparel is still king in RFID tagging and will continue to be. “There is a lot of room for growth,” he says. “There is a long way to go with 40 billion taggable apparel items, although not everyone around the world will use RFID. The question is what is next. Everything else is growing, but on a slower basis.”

RFID AND WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY

RFID AND WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY Fortunately for Whitewater, its systems were connected not just to the power grid, but also to the Internet, where production data could be compared to projected market prices for electricity, as short term as five minutes ahead. And, as soon as pricing was forecast to go negative, a smartphone app developed by SCADA Solutions triggered an alert on system operators’ smartphones. Companies operating in the volatile California energy market provide an extreme case for the value of the Internet of Things (IoT), where thousands of dollars can be made or lost in minutes and the value of connecting machines used for production to the Internet can be immediately realized. But the value to be gained from this connection extends to just about every other industry as well. IoT may be a relatively simple concept of connected devices and machines, but the implications are profound. Cisco estimates that IoT has the potential to enable the automation of up to 50 percent of manual processes, which is one reason it’s growing at a furious rate. Another is that it allows operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) to connect, linking process automation with business information, for example, to enable new efficiencies and capabilities. In light of the benefits, it’s no wonder that a study from Forrester Research and Zebra Technologies found that IoT deployments at large organizations had more than tripled between 2012 and 2014. And a McKinsey report released last year estimates that the global economic value generated by the IoT could top $11 trillion by 2025, or some 11 percent of the world economy. The biggest value, according to McKinsey, will be realized in the manufacturing sector, which will account for about a third of the total.

I

t was Christmas Day 2015, and an operating engineer for Whitewater Energy was just sitting down to open presents with his family when he got an alert on his smartphone. Pricing for wind energy in Palm Springs, Calif., where a Whitewater wind farm was located, had just gone negative. That meant that, according to market rates, Whitewater would have to pay for the electricity it was producing, rather than getting paid for it—to the tune of $281 per kilowatt hour. Whitewater had to shut down production, and fast, or lose thousands of dollars per hour.

34

Realizing the full value of IoT, however, will come to those who make the best use of the data generated—not just those who put the most things on the Internet, Cisco says. Smart deployment decisions point the way. Starting With The Basics Richard Soley, executive director of the Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC), points to the link between OT and IT as the main value in the IoT. “Right now in the automation world,” he says, “the computers that run the automation systems typically do not talk to the computers that run the manufacturing resource planning or enterprise resource planning systems. Sharing that information is valuable. Daymon Thompson, automation specialist at Beckhoff Automation, recommends that organizations considering IoT

deployments start by defining the business case. “Companies must identify business challenges and real-world use cases that would benefit from implementation of highly connected, datadriven manufacturing solutions,” he says. Only from there, he adds, can managers make intelligent decisions about an IoT implementation. For example, if the business challenge for a given manufacturing process turns out to be maximizing machine uptime, a good place to start might be an IoT-enabled system that can predict when machines need maintenance and alert technicians before a failure occurs. “These days, some level of mobile device integration for push notifications sent from cloudconnected manufacturing systems is frequently in consideration,” Thompson says. In short, realizing the benefits of the IoT starts with a good plan. “Developing a plan for the best ways your company can capitalize on these methodologies and technologies will go a long way to ensure sensible allocation of company funds for maximum ROI and a higher-grade impact on operational efficiency,” Thompson says. Soley identifies four major benefits of connecting automation to the IoT. “If it were easy to connect to your automation system—your PLCs, your operational systems— with your information systems, you could do a better job of: 1) optimizing the use of the factory floor, 2) optimizing the intake of just-in-time delivery, 3) optimizing the just-in-time delivery out the back end of the factory, and 4) making the factory floor more safe because you know exactly what’s going on where.” Realizing these benefits is the focus of the IIC’s first testbed, for tracking items on a factory floor. “If I know where everything is—the people, the tools, the parts, and the work in progress—I can do a better job manufacturing and I can make the floor safer,” Soley explains. Consortium member companies Bosch, Cisco, National Instruments and Tech Mahindra launched the Track and Trace Testbed on the factory floor of an aircraft manufacturer in Germany in early 2015. Soley says that the testbed has been a resounding success and that the system that the consortium members built for it will roll out to hundreds of manufacturers in 2016. Using the system, manufacturers will be able to pinpoint the location of power tools to within an accuracy of 1 meter on the factory floor via Wi-Fi triangulation. The tools will also share usage data with the system to aid worker productivity and to prevent injuries; the tools will shut themselves down if they sense that they are being misused. The developers hope to narrow the

margin of error for location data down to 5 cm in future iterations.

Energy use monitoring can also be a good place to start an IoT implementation, especially given the continuing sustainability push underway at many companies, according to Keith Blodorn, director of program management—wireless at ProSoft Technology. “Boilers, power meters and chillers typically use special protocols like BACnet and LonWorks,” he says. Gateways like those provided by ProSoft can transfer data from those machines to a controller. From there, the controller can analyze the data and trigger appropriate actions. “By using the data to effectively manage your energy usage, you can save money while helping decrease your company’s carbon footprint,” Blodorn says. To enable its smartphone applications to send alerts based on production and pricing data, SCADA Solutions relies on Opto 22’s groov platform, which enables customers to build monitoring and control apps for the web and mobile devices. Groov is seeing action in other kinds of production environments as well. For example, Chicago-based Packaging Corporation of America, which builds boxes for shipping snack foods, has connected its machines to the Internet to give its managers at plants around the country easy visibility into what’s happening throughout the system. “They’ve taken this technology and applied it to provide instant visibility of machine run-time status and how many boxes the machines are pumping out at any given timeframe,” explains Benson Hougland, vice president for marketing and production evolution at Opto 22.

Now, Hougland says, the company can compare the performance of its plants, and make decisions based on that information. “The management has this very holistic view of what’s occurring in the plants at any given time,” he says. That allows the company to bring under-performing plants up to par with the best performers. Though Packaging Corporation of America has been using this technology for a few years, a company new to IoT can get started with a minimal investment, Hougland says. “We always tell people to think big, but start small. And the way to do that is to have, in essence, this appliance or controller with these capabilities.” IoT Saves Christmas the Christmas energy price drop mentioned at the beginning of this article, Whitewater’s operating engineer got up from opening his presents, made a call, and the wind farm got shut down in time to prevent a financial disaster. The app and the associated IoT solution saved Whitewater $10,000 to $18,000 an hour that day, estimates Craig VanWagner, SCADA Solutions’ CFO. In that case, the operator’s call resulted in an engineer driving a truck out to manually shut down operations. Soon, however, such a scenario won’t even require a physical visit to the wind farms; SCADA Solutions and its customers are making upgrades to enable their smartphone apps to do more than deliver alerts. They will also enable operators who get the alerts to shut down operations remotely, or even to simply report on automated shutdowns and restarts.’

CALCULATIONS REVEAL HOW SENSORS MUST TAKE TURNS TO HARVEST POWER EFFICIENTLY FROM A DATA HUB.

A

lgorithms that describe the most efficient ways to transmit data and power between wireless sensors and a central hub could help develop large networks of smart devices.

Interconnected wireless devices are increasingly common. For example, smart home appliances can transmit or receive data so that users can remotely control heating or lighting, while remote sensor networks can help gather environmental data such as water quality or air pollution. This burgeoning ‘Internet of Things’ could see billions of sensors deployed across cities, homes, offices and factories. But many sensors rely on battery power, which can limit their use. “To change the batteries after a few years of deployment would be problematic,” explains Chin Keong Ho of Singapore’s Agency of Science, Technology and Research Institute for Infocomm Research. “The sensors might be dispersed throughout a city, and in certain locations, it could be impractical or dangerous to change batteries.” One alternative is to build a wireless-powered communication network (WPCN), containing sensors that can harvest energy from the radio waves transmitted by the central hub.

Supercapacitors offer a promising way to store this energy, because they are smaller, and charge more quickly, than rechargeable batteries. They can also function through many years of charge-discharge cycles with no loss of performance. However, supercapacitors cannot store energy for long periods, because they tend to self-discharge. This means the sensor may

Real-World Solutions

not retain power to transmit data if it only communicates with the hub every few weeks. Ho and colleagues have now developed a strategy to solve this problem. They calculated the best ways to schedule transmissions around a network of sensors fitted with supercapacitors, so that each sensor was sure to have the energy it needed to send its data back to the hub [1]. First, they aimed to maximize the total amount of data and power that could be transmitted in a given time, and developed an algorithm that described the optimal solution. “The optimal algorithm we developed performs substantially better than the conventional method,” says Ho. The researchers also developed a second algorithm to minimize the total charging and transmission time needed to communicate once with every sensor in the network. This algorithm also accounts for differences in the quality of the communication link between different sensors. In the future, these algorithms should help to design more efficient WPCNs, and the team is now testing them on wireless power prototypes in the lab. The A*STAR-affiliated researchers contributing to this research are from the A*STAR Institute for Infocomm Research.

akarta. The government plans to slash the electricity subsidy by up to Rp 30 trillion ($2 billion) in next year’s state budget, or 41 percent, in the latest move to reallocate public spending toward the poor.

While the government has already ended subsidies for electricity subscribers with connections of 1,300 VA and 2,200 VA earlier this year, it still maintains a subsidy this year of Rp 73 trillion for some 44 million Indonesians with connections of 450 VA and 900 VA. Sofyan Basyir, the president director of state-owned electricity company PLN, said most of these beneficiaries did not deserve to be subsidized. “The number of [people entitled to a subsidy] is only 15.5 million, so there are about 30 million customers who need to be sorted out,” Sofyan said on Tuesday. He said PLN had found that many subscribers were exploiting the system by having more than one connection of 900 VA each in their homes, instead of a single higher-capacity – and unsiubsidized – connection.

2-3 NOVEMBER 2016 Plaza JB Convention Hall, Jababeka 2 Kota Jababeka, Cikarang Bekasi, Indonesia

Commenting on PLN’s inability to stop the practice, Sofyan said: “We are not in a place to judge them as being poor or not.” PLN has proposed that the government disburse electricity subsidies via cash handouts to poorer households in order to prevent people gaming the system. President Joko Widodo will unveil the 2016 state budget at his state of the nation address at the House of Representatives next month. The president scrapped a subsidy on gasoline as of the start of the year, redirecting the funds to infrastructure development across the country. Some of the savings have also allowed the government to triple the budget for the Social Affairs Ministry to Rp 22 trillion this year, to fund programs such as the Family Welfare Card (KKS) — a Rp 200,000 monthly allowance each for 15.9 million poor families — and the Indonesia Smart Card (KIP), which provides a cash allowance for students from low-income families.

MHPS RECEIVES FULL-TURNKEY ORDER FOR GTCC POWER GENERATION SYSTEM FOR INDONESIA’S STATE-OWNED ELECTRICITY COMPANY—SECOND ORDER FOR TANJUNG PRIOK POWER PLANT SERVING GREAT JAKARTA

PHILIPPINES NOW THE LARGEST WIND POWER GENERATOR IN ASEAN REGION

T

he Philippines has overtaken all other members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations in terms of installed wind energy capacity.

Energy Management Bureau has identified at least 44 potential sites for setting up wind turbines, which together can support 1,168 MW of wind energy capacity.

Philippines now has an operational wind energy capacity of 400 MW, more than anything other country in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region, according to media reports quoting former Senator Juan Miguel Zubiri, who played an important role in the passage of Renewable Energy Law of 2008.

The Renewable Energy Law of 2008, which also led to the launch of feed-in tariff scheme, attracted investment from several domestic and international project developers. One of the most famous example of the benefits of the Law is the Philippines’ largest wind energy project, with an installed capacity of 150 MW, and owned by Energy Development Corporation. The project will includes 50 units of the Vestas V90-3 MW turbine. The project is expected to generate 370 GWh of electricity every year and offset about 200,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions.

The Philippines is planning to increase the installed wind energy capacity to 1,600 MW over the next 2-3 years. Zubiri stated that the Philippines has significant wind energy resources spread across various islands of the country. The Renewable

okohama, -- Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems, Ltd. (MHPS), together with Mitsubishi Corporation and PT. Wasa Mitra Engineering (WASA), a local construction and engineering firm, have received a full-turnkey order for an 880 megawatts (MW) natural-gas-fired gas turbine combined cycle (GTCC) power plant from PT. PLN (Persero), Indonesia’s state-owned electricity company. The project named “Jawa-2 Combined Cycle Power Plant Project” is to construct a new GTCC power plant on the premises of Tanjung Priok Power Plant, located approximately 10 kilometers (km) northeast of central part of Jakarta, for which MHPS (“Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd.” at that time) constructed a 750MW GTCC power plant as Block No.3 in 2012. Operation of the new power plant will be commenced in 2018. The Jawa-2 Combined Cycle Power Plant Project is part of a 35,000 MW power expansion program under way by the Indonesian Government to meet the country’s rapidly increasing demand for electric power along with economic growth. Once on-stream, the new power plant will help respond to the capital region’s robust demand for electric power. For the GTCC plant on order, MHPS will supply two M701F4 gas turbines, two heat recovery steam generators (HRSG), one steam turbine and the balance of plant (BOP). Mitsubishi Electric Corporation will supply the generators. WASA

will perform installation work, and the other local company will undertake civil work. Since MHPS had delivered two M701F gas turbines to PLN’s Cilegon Power Plant in 2006, as the country’s first introduction of the F-type gas turbine, MHPS has supplied two M701F gas turbines to Muara Karang Power Plant in 2011 and Tanjung Priok Power Plant (Block No.3) in 2012 respectively in succession. MHPS believes that its track record of delivers of large-size gas turbine to PLN, coupled with PLN’s high acclaim for MHPS’s GTCC power plant technologies, contributed to the awarding of the latest order. GTCC is the cleanest and most efficient of power generation systems that operate on fossil fuels. MHPS presently holds the top share in the Indonesian market for large-scale gas turbines, and the conclusion of the newly awarded contract is aimed at enabling the Company to further enhance its presence in the Indonesian power market. In addition, by increasingly focusing on promoting the adoption of the highly fuel-efficient GTCC system in the Indonesian market, MHPS will contribute to the effective use of resources and easing of environmental burdens.

NEW WORLD BANK PROGRAM TO INCREASE ELECTRICITY ACCESS

Electricity Access to 3 Million More Indonesians will Support Economic Growth

W

ashington— A new World Bank program will help Indonesia meet its growing energy needs and support economic growth, by bringing electricity to three million people in Sumatra island, an important economic hub for the Southeast Asian country. The Power Distribution Development Program for Results– a US$500 million loan to PT PLN, the national power utility – would boost the island’s electrification ratio to 90 percent, as well as improve power systems to be more efficient and reliable. “Lack of electricity access to millions of people in Sumatra constrains the region’s economic potential, and the Power Distribution Development Program will help close the infrastructure gap that prevents Indonesia from achieving higher growth,” said World Bank Country Director for Indonesia Rodrigo Chaves. “Electrification improves economic productivity as well as health and education outcomes, particularly for the poor and near poor,” Chaves added. About 39 million Indonesians lack access to electricity, and 9 million of the unconnected live in Sumatra. Complementing existing power generation investments on the island, the program will support the expansion of the

distribution network, including more than 40,000 circuit kilometers of distribution lines and some 28,300 transformer units. “Power distribution lines and substations will be built, rehabilitated or upgraded, and customer outage management improved in order to reduce the frequency and duration of service interruptions. Improving the quality and reliability of service delivery will help customers increase their productivity and competitiveness,” said Dhruva Sahai, World Bank Senior Financial Analyst and one of the Program’s team leaders. The program also includes building institutional capacity in PT PLN for program planning, budgeting, procurement, financial management, and monitoring and evaluation. “This is the World Bank’s first foray in Indonesia with results-based lending. The program can be an example of how to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of their spending in order to achieve better results,” said Joel Maweni, World Bank Energy Adviser and also a Program team leader. The assessment of PT PLN’s technical, fiduciary, and safeguards systems for Program delivery was partly funded through grant financing from the Asia Sustainable and Alternative Energy Program. source: worldbank.org

DID YOU KNOW?

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN ROBOTS TAKE OUR JOBS?

T

echnologies such as big data, advanced analytics, the internet of things, wearables, advanced robotics, learning machines and 3D printing are finding their way into factories.

Despite the sluggishness of change on today’s factory floors, this digital wave is slowly but surely revolutionizing manufacturing, contributing to major productivity enhancements and the emergence of innovative production paradigms that deliver more tailored and efficient solutions. Needless to say, this transformation has profound implications for manufacturing employment, affecting everything from the size of the workforce, to the skillsets required and the locations of factories. Will this Fourth Industrial Revolution lead to a jobless future for manufacturing or will the “traditional” response of education and training allow workers to remain employable?

Indeed, from Jeremy Rifkin in the End of Work to Martin Ford in the Rise of the Robots, economists have been predicting that automation will make human jobs - at least as we know them today - obsolete in the not-too-distant future. In the United States alone, manufacturing jobs have fallen from 25% of the total in 1970 to approximately 10% today, as James H. Lee reminds us in his blog on the World Future Society website. Productivity and employment, which rose and fell in tandem until the early 2000s, now show an increasing gap, reflecting the fact that humans are being displaced by machines for many jobs. Carl Benedikt Frey and Michael A. Osborne estimate that 47% of US jobs are at risk due to “computerization”. This trend is not just a Western-centric phenomenon; according to David Rotman, “fewer people work in manufacturing today than in 1997, thanks at least in part to automation.” In fact, Foxconn announced in August 2012 that they would introduce one million of robots within three years to replace human labour.

A factory with no employees? According to Autodesk CEO Carl Bass, “The factory of the future will have only two employees: a man and a dog. The man will be there to feed the dog. The dog will be there to keep the man from touching the equipment.” 50

So will this trajectory lead to a jobless future for manufacturing? Not quite – or at least not immediately. But there is no doubt that Industry 4.0 will fundamentally change the nature of manufacturing jobs.

A different type of manufacturing worker Some human manufacturing tasks, such as heavy lifting, precision positioning and visual quality control, will most certainly be transferred to or supported by robots, which are not only more efficient and effective than humans, but can communicate seamlessly with one another. Human workers will have to learn to work side-by-side and in conjunction with robots. Advanced automation will increase workers’ acceptance of safe and collaborative machines with human-like physiognomies working close to them. This, along with wearables, augmented reality and other technologies, will change the nature of traditional blue-collar work, which will become both more complex and sophisticated, but also increasingly supported by technology. It is hard to predict whether Industry 4.0 will call for more- or less-skilled workers, but it is clear that the requirements will be very different, with a greater focus on flexibility and adaptability, and potentially less on expertise and craftsmanship. Nevertheless, robots are still imperfect, and their capabilities are not yet sufficient to fully displace humans. Furthermore, and despite constant progress, the ROI for fully automated manufacturing is still unproven, raising doubts about the speed with which Industry 4.0 is gaining traction. But the revolution is most certainly under way.

A challenging Schumpeterian transition Throughout previous industrial revolutions, overall job creation has always been positive, but there are serious doubts that this will hold true for this fourth industrial revolution. There does seem to be a consensus that it will change all professions in ways perhaps we are yet to understand. The other problem with looking at the future of manufacturing employment through the lens of history is that it does not take into account the exponential nature of digital technologies. The ubiquitous connectivity of people and machines, and the real-time data that define the Fourth Industrial Revolution, are governed by Moore’s law (doubling of the performance/cost ratio every 12 to 18 months), while we tend to think and react in a linear mode. In addition, this transformation is not limited to manufacturing. It potentially touches all knowledge and service jobs, thereby raising a much bigger question for society. The risk we are facing in the near future is mass unemployment for some categories of workers, combined with lack of skills in other categories – and the political and social implications of such imbalances. Will companies, individual governments and society at large (including educational systems and social safety nets) be able to adapt quickly enough to this new paradigm and create an environment in which all can contribute? For this to happen, all parties will need to collaborate in order to invent a systemic, social and sustainable model for a better future of work. source: we forum 51
