Press Release

EOT Reveals Industrial IoT Asset Modeling and Visualization Solutions at AWS re:Invent 2022

EOT’s Twin Sight™ and Twin Central™ deliver asset management and operational dashboard authoring platform powered by AWS IoT SiteWise and AWS IoT TwinMaker

LAS VEGAS, Nov. 29, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — EOT (embassyofthings.com), a leader in software for energy, manufacturing and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), has been working with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to develop two plug-and-play software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions, EOT Twin Sight™ and EOT Twin Central™, for industrial companies on the Industry 4.0 journey. The two solutions leverage and extend the capabilities of EOT Twin Talk, and are built using AWS IoT SiteWise for cloud historian data storage and asset hierarchy management and AWS IoT TwinMaker for its capability to integrate siloed asset hierarchies from multiple business and operational data sources into an integrated and flexible knowledge graph model. Together they enable the modernization of legacy operational technologies to help customers accelerate their analytics and machine learning cloud-based initiatives.

With EOT Twin Sight™ industrial users can now leverage the power of low-code artificial intelligence (AI)-driven software to modernize how asset information and data is visualized and drive the rapid creation of use –case-specific visual dashboards, templates and reports. The flexibility and ease of use of EOT Twin Sight enables any individual inside the company to access enterprise-wide operational data with a self-service model and develop dashboards and reports that support their specific use case and business needs. More information: https://embassyofthings.com/twinsight/.

With EOT Twin Central™ the broad and diverse sources of operational data and their related asset hierarchies can be centralized into a single source of truth with a common semantic model, optimizing how asset information is managed. Operators can easily and quickly map, link, store, and synchronize relationships between assets and their operational, engineering, and financial metadata using a unified relationship graph. A powerful graph query language allows them to query, search, and navigate through current and historic contextual data, with full version control available. More information: https://embassyofthings.com/twincentral/.

“Unlike any other cloud vendor, the AWS IoT SiteWise and AWS IoT TwinMaker services provide the foundation to build asset management solutions such as real-time cloud historians,” states Matt Oberdorfer, CEO of EOT. “This enabled EOT to focus on building the value-added capabilities of EOT Twin Sight™ and EOT Twin Central™ to immediately help industrial customers drive relevant, real-time business decisions by field engineers, operators, and board executives alike.”

Partnering with AWS on the global Lookout for Equipment Launch, April 8, 2021

AWS Announces General Availability of Amazon Lookout for Equipment

Amazon Lookout for Equipment enables industrial customers to use machine learning to fully leverage their investment in equipment sensors to perform large-scale predictive maintenance across all of their industrial sites
Siemens Energy, Cepsa, Embassy of Things, RoviSys, Seeq, and TensorIoT among customers and partners using Lookout for Equipment
April 08, 2021 12:43 PM Eastern Daylight Time – (Excerpt from the full AWS Press Release: Here)
SEATTLE–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Today, Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), an Amazon.com, Inc. company (NASDAQ: AMZN), announced the general availability of Amazon Lookout for Equipment, a new service that uses AWS-developed machine learning models to help customers perform predictive maintenance on the equipment in their facilities. Amazon Lookout for Equipment ingests sensor data from a customer’s industrial equipment (e.g. pressure, flow rate, RPMs, temperature, and power), and then it trains a unique machine learning model to accurately predict early warning signs of machine failure or suboptimal performance using real-time data streams from the customer’s equipment. With Amazon Lookout for Equipment, customers can detect equipment abnormalities with speed and precision, quickly diagnose issues, reduce false alerts, and avoid expensive downtime by taking action before machine failures occur. There are no up-front commitments or minimum fees with Amazon Lookout for Equipment, and customers pay for the amount of data ingested, the compute hours used to train a custom model, and the number of inference-hours used. To get started with Amazon Lookout for Equipment, visit: https://aws.amazon.com/lookout-for-equipment.
Industrial companies are constantly working to improve operational efficiency by avoiding unplanned downtime due to equipment failure. Over time, many of these companies have invested heavily in physical sensors, data connectivity, data storage, and dashboards to monitor their equipment health and performance. To analyze the data from their equipment, most companies typically use simple rules or modeling approaches to identify issues based on past performance. However, the rudimentary nature of these approaches often leads customers to identify issues after it is too late to take action, or receive false alarms based on misdiagnosed issues that require unnecessary and timely inspection. Instead, customers want to detect general operating conditions or failure types (e.g. high temperature due to friction) along with complex equipment failures (e.g. a failing pump indicated by high vibration and RPMs but low flow rates) that can only be derived by modeling the unique relationships between sensors. Today, advances in machine learning techniques have made it possible to quickly identify anomalies and learn the unique relationships between each piece of equipment’s historical data. However, most companies lack the expertise to build and scale custom machine learning models across their different industrial equipment. As a result, companies often fail to fully leverage their investment in sensors and data infrastructure, causing them to miss out on key actionable insights that could help them better manage their critical equipment’s health and performance.
With Amazon Lookout for Equipment, industrial and manufacturing customers can now quickly and easily build a predictive maintenance solution for an entire facility or across multiple locations. To get started, customers upload their sensor data (e.g. pressure, flow rate, RPMs, temperature, and power) to Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) and provide the relevant S3 bucket location to Amazon Lookout for Equipment. The service will automatically analyze the data, assess normal or healthy patterns, and build a machine learning model that is tailored to the customer’s environment. Amazon Lookout for Equipment will then use the custom-built machine learning model to analyze incoming sensor data and identify early warning signs of machine failure or malfunction. For each alert, the service will specify which sensors are indicating an issue and measure the magnitude of its impact on the detected event. For example, if Amazon Lookout for Equipment detected an issue on a pump with 50 sensors, the service could show which five sensors indicate an issue on a specific motor, and relate that issue to the motor power current and temperature. This allows customers to identify the issue, diagnose the problem, prioritize needed actions, and perform precision maintenance before issues happen—saving them money and improving productivity by preventing down time. Amazon Lookout for Equipment allows customers to get more value from their existing sensors, and it helps them make timely decisions that can materially improve operational efficiency. Amazon Lookout for Equipment is available directly via the AWS console as well through supporting partners in the AWS Partner Network. The service is available today in US East (N. Virginia), EU (Ireland), and Asia Pacific (Seoul), with availability in additional regions in the coming months.
In addition to Amazon Lookout for Equipment, AWS offers industrial and manufacturing customers the broadest range of cloud-to-edge industrial machine learning services, including Amazon Monitron (for predictive maintenance using an end-to-end solution comprised of sensors, gateways, and a machine learning service), Amazon Lookout for Vision (for visual anomaly detection using computer vision models in the cloud), and AWS Panorama (for visual inspection using an Appliance and Software Development Kit that brings computer vision models to on-premises cameras).
“Many industrial and manufacturing companies have heavily invested in physical sensors and other technology with the aim of improving the maintenance of their equipment. But even with this gear in place, companies are not in a position to deploy machine learning models on top of the reams of data due to a lack of resources and the scarcity of data scientists. As a result, they miss out on critical insights and actionable findings that would help them better manage their operations,” said Swami Sivasubramanian, VP Amazon Machine Learning, AWS. “Today, we’re excited to announce the general availability of Amazon Lookout for Equipment, a new service that enables customers to benefit from custom machine learning models that are built for their specific environment to quickly and easily identify abnormal machine behavior—so that they can take action to avoid the impact and expense of equipment downtime.”

Case Study with BPX and AWS: bpx energy Transforms Production Operations Through AWS Energy Industry Solutions, March 31, 2021

bpx energy Transforms Production Operations Through AWS Energy Industry Solutions

by Mu Li, Prabal Acharyya, Krishna Doddapaneni, and Rajesh Gomatam | on 31 MAR 2021 (Excerpt from the full AWS Blog: Here)
bpx energy is bp’s US onshore oil and gas production business, part of its resilient and focused hydrocarbons portfolio, a key component of its strategy to become an integrated energy company and to be net zero by 2050 or sooner. bpx energy chose AWS as the strategic cloud platform of choice for Operational Technology stack (OT) for security, performance, and innovation agility. They have been operating their supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system, Historian, and Remote Terminal Units (RTU) on AWS. In the first quarter of 2021, bpx energy deployed the AWS Production Monitoring and Surveillance solution to further enhance business value through real-time intelligence.In this two-part blog post series, we explain various components of the AWS Production Monitoring and Surveillance solution. This post dives deep into the overall benefits to bpx energy.bpx energy identified an opportunity to consolidate data sources and democratize data access by increasing data granularity across the business. Previously, they used a data warehouse solution, which lacked several key features. For example, business operations teams require timely data to have visibility into how their assets are performing in near real-time, rather than waiting for a business report the next day. Business teams also require high granularity, high fidelity, and up-to-the-second data for machine learning solutions.The centralization of the systems and the simplification of access to those systems is really important from security and safety perspectives because it reduces safety risk through better governance. Overall, bpx energy sees a 45% reduction in IT and OT Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).Additionally, for bpx energy, wellhead pressure anomaly detection at high frequencies is a priority. System pressure can tell the bpx energy team a lot about what is going on with a well, but substantive analysis is only useful at higher frequencies. The AWS Production Monitoring and Surveillance solution enables bpx energy to solve these issues.

Solution overview

The following reference architecture shows the overall solution, with the Industrial Machine Connectivity (IMC) highlighted in orange below.
bpx energy Production Monitoring and Surveillance Reference architecture

IMC on AWS helps energy customers and partners accelerate digital transformation. It brings data from Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) assets to AWS in a structured way. Customers can extract insights from their OT data, increase efficiency, and reduce operational costs. IMC is for developers, regional and global systems integrators (SI), independent software vendors (ISV), and original equipment manufacturers (OEM) who want to generate business value from an IIoT architecture. ISV partners provide edge software and cloud native applications that can extract data from OT data stores to generate insights. SI partners bring implementation experience to customers and further develop custom applications to meet their unique needs.

During bpx energy implementation, we worked with partner solutions and teams to unlock data from proprietary applications and data silos. The cloud native solution integrated OT and IT for value-added analytical use cases. Data eventually lands in the Industrial Data Lake (IDL), shown on the right half of the architecture. The IDL implements a Lake House architecture on AWS, using an “inside-out” approach, where data in the data lake is ingested into purpose-built data stores for analytics. For example, the IDL implementation uses Amazon Timestream, a time series database that enables customers to derive deeper insights from their industrial data through time series analytics using SQL.

Amazon Timestream is a purpose-built managed time series database service for IoT and operational applications that makes it easy to store and analyze trillions of events per day. It saves time and cost in managing the lifecycle of time series data by keeping recent data in memory and moving historical data to a cost optimized storage tier based upon user defined policies. Amazon Timestream also has built-in time series analytics functions, helping customers identify data trends and patterns in near real-time. bpx energy uses Timestream to store time series data from IoT devices and from packaged OT software solutions.

Implementation partner teams included Embassy of Things (EoT) and TensorIoT. EoT deployed their ETL++ Operational Data Delivery Software System “TwinTalk” at bpx energy. TwinTalk extracts raw data tag values from the source SCADA system, enhances it with contextual meta data, and delivers it to AWS native services such as AWS IoT SiteWise and Amazon S3 via data pipelines in near real-time.

Customer Case Study: Oxy – PI Enabled Data Pipelines for Cloud Analytics

Press ReleaseCo-presentation with Occidental Petroleum Corporation at OSIsoft Houston Conference, October 8, 2019

In this case study, leveraging PI AF and creating an efficient data pipeline, enabled by TwinTalk, feeds an advanced data analytics system that detects anomalies. The anomaly findings reduce downtime for offshore oil and gas platform equipment. Housed in Google Cloud Platform (GCP), the system ingests more than ten thousand rows of interpolated data per minute from the OSIsoft PI Archive data sources. The PI System coupled with TwinTalk helps lower operational costs and provides and easier self-service mechanism. This enables faster data-driven outcomes by lessening complex custom coded data pipelines. Also demonstrated, is how analytical results and operations data are combined to allow informed decisions.

EOT Launches Secure Access to Operational Data to Accelerate Digital Transformation

Secure, Simple and Scalable Access for Analytics, Remote Monitoring Solutions to Operational Sensor Data Sources

SAN DIEGO – October 9, 2018 – Embassy of Things Inc. (EOT), a pioneer in cloud access security management, today announced TwinTalk, an industrial Identity Access Management (IAM) and software-defined Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) solution. TwinTalk is removing the burden associated with testing, validating and adopting modern machine learning (ML), and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies for industrial operating companies in oil and gas, transportation, energy and manufacturing and allows to securely tap into the unrealized value hidden within operational technologies (OT).

The vast potential of AI, ML and data science to reduce costs and increase productivity has encouraged leaders around the world to make significant investments in the latest industrial IoT (IIoT) and automation platforms. Yet, nearly 70% of IoT initiatives stall or fail at the Proof of Concept stage because of cyber security concerns. TwinTalk enables the rapid provisioning of highly secure access channels between industrial plants, the cloud and enterprise IT apps, keeping the plant operations safe while delivering tangible business value from modern software solutions.

“Data science and AI are the future for smart industrial corporates, but the barrier to access operational data sources prevents them from reaping the benefits” said Matt Oberdorfer, CEO of Embassy of Things. “TwinTalk gives OT organizations a simple way to transmit operational sensor data to the cloud without any impact to plants operations.”

TwinTalk’s highly resilient “security bridges” translate complex data models of operational data sources (historians, Industrial Controls Systems, sensors, SCADA, etc.) into formats that can be directly processed by Business Intelligence (BI), Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), and big data analytics solutions.

“Digital transformation presents new security challenges that if not properly resolved will compromise the OT environment,” said Dave Lafferty, President of Scientific Technical Services, “EOT helps industry- leading companies to overcome the biggest challenges to provide the needed OT data to applications in the cloud without compromising the integrity of the OT network and its mission critical control loops.”
