Emerging technologies such as the internet of things, digital twin, and artificial intelligence are forging ahead rapidly. However, its exercise in the industrial field is not observed due to a lack of knowledge of its application framework and methodology. This research objects to develop a ready to implement 'Industrial internet of things technology' (IIoT) framework dedicatedly for industrial process heaters. The framework is developed for accounting compatibility for PLC/DCS systems, gateway connections, control interfaces, and data availability for future aspects of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), etc. however the development of specific codes for digital twin, internet of things, AI, and ML may be done separately. Although, this study focuses on vertical cylindrical heaters; it is also applicable to other types of thermal equipment. The IIoT has potential beyond the capacity of PLCs and DCSs in process control and management. The industry will have a positive commercial impact by eliminating unscheduled failures and maintenance and providing seamless services. It will also address social aspects of human safety and emission control. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
