Digital Twins: Demystifying Asset and Visual Twins - Insights into Digital Twins, Keys to Their Successful Creation and Value
Digitalization
In the context of a refinery, petrochemical or chemical facility, Digital Twins can be used to model and simulate the structure and behavior of equipment, systems, and processes. This session will decompose and demystify the ‘Asset’ and ‘Visual’ virtual representations and their association with one another as Digital Twins. Supported by key use cases that are commonly faced by every operating facility along with actual achieved benefits.
Participants will:
- Gain a basic practical understanding Digital Twins in their primary forms,
- Secure guidance as to the accepted prerequisites, methods, and required level of effort to craft and deploy Digital Twins,
- Learn about Digital Twin sustainment challenges and mitigation strategies, and
- The achievable benefits to be realized from Digital Twin initiatives supported by actual use case experiences.

Topic
Collaboration Between Process Safety and Alarm Rationalization Teams
Digitalization
Alarm rationalization practices per ISA 18.2 and Safety PHA teams tend to have different approaches to justify alarms. As a result of these differences, alarms taken as safeguards in PHAs can be downgraded or in some cases removed during alarm rationalization. On the other side, PHA teams have a tendency to add more alarms than needed as safeguards which is counter to alarm rationalization principles. This session will highlight examples of these differences and approaches to agree through collaboration by understanding the needs of each team. Participants will:
- See examples of PHA risk ranking contrasted with alarm prioritization matrix that illustrates one difference
- See why it is ok to challenge safety alarms if redundant or counter to alarm rationalization principles
- See why the alarm rationalization team may recommend PHA team swap or change safeguards
- See why it is important to have the alarm management database aligned with PHA documentation
- Understand the difference between a rated independent protection layer (IPL) and a non-rated safeguard as it pertains to alarm rationalization

The LOW/NO CODE Opportunity - Enabling Citizen Developers to Achieve Maximum Levels of Organizational Performance and Operational Excellence
Digitalization
This session will present and discuss how the implementation of common business processes, complex scientific and business analytics and related performance dashboards utilizing low code technologies have rapidly maximized levels of organizational performance. Low/No Code platforms now enable experienced knowledge workers in front line organizations to add significant levels of incremental value as ‘Citizen Developers’ and ‘Citizen Data Scientist’. Without incurring the traditional levels of cost and external development overhead. In an environment where compliance with defined work practices and procedures, and performance transparency are so critical, it is amazing that critical workflows continued to be consigned to manual tasks and office tools like email to actuate.
Participants will:
- Gain an understanding of the current and future state of Low/No Code technology,
- Appreciate the achievable benefits to be realized from Low/No Code platforms,
- Learn how to maximize and secure the best results from your human talent, and
- Secure insights on how to begin a Low/No Code business process automation initiative.
