2014 - 15 conferences

At Schneider’s Software Global Customer Conference, Aena's for 'Smart City Management' of 46 Airports across Spain, using the Wonderware System Platform was presented. This was an example of integration of over 1 million different signals coming from a myriad of sub-systems being effectively managed in a common way to ensure uptime, security, and energy efficiency.

International Paper’s story was about improving energy efficiency by integrating sensor-based information in combination with SimSci, Schneider’s advanced process control software.

At the Emerson Global User Exchange,  the session on "Enabling Water & Energy Reductions Through Expanded Utility Metering"  was there. A presentation was made by the system integrator and Emerson on how they implemented an energy management project for a major beverage manufacturer. The team implemented a facility-wide monitoring system that included monitoring steam, condensate, water, liquid ammonia, and plant air that span four separate business units. A Peruvian mining company presented on how they were able to control the total load of air used on their processes, mainly on flotation cells while reducing the amount of energy used to pump the air into the plant. The Galloway Company, a dairy firm saved $120,000 annually in sewer costs by increasing the reliability and accuracy of measurement with modern connected technology.

At the GE Intelligent Platforms 2014 User Summit there were also numerous examples of how companies have used GE’s SmartSignal and CSense products to process data from IoT-connected sensors to improve energy and utility performance. Jeff Immelt gave  keynote address. Speakers from companies like Kimberly Clark, Summer Garden Foods, Duke Energy, and GE Transportation and GE’s jet engine group, gave examples on how they are using the data available from the IoT with the analytic capabilities of CSense and SmartSignal to save  billions of dollars.

Macro-level Human Effort Engineering

INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING is redesign (engineering) of Products, Facilities and Processes for Productivity increase.
Productivity Management Imperative for USA - McKinsey. Returning US productivity to its long-term trend of 2.2 percent annual growth would add $10 trillion in cumulative GDP over the next ten years (2023 - 2030).

Industrial engineers only recommend job cuts is the opinion of many people. But it is not true.


Industrial engineering increase the productivity of any operator. A self employed person can increase his productivity and earn more income with the assistance of industrial engineers.


Industrial engineers think of welfare of operators. They think of welfare of people. They do not want them to be unemployed. They want full employment societies.

Recently I analyzed and came to the conclusion that India can provide extra employment to 20 crore people in the next years and create a structural change in the employment scene of the country. It is an example of macro-level human effort engineering done by industrial engineering profession.

30 Crore Employed Indians - Full Employment in India
