2 Outline Motivation and background Vision Plan and schedule Status Industry questions Summary

3 The Business Problem Internet Must replace obsolete Refining/Chemical DCS fleet Objectives: Level 4 Supply Chain Data Visualization Work Station (XME, GME) o o Lower replacement and lifecycle costs Greater value generation Level 3 Operations Management Remote Access R&D started in 2010 Level 2 DCS Supervisory Control Operator Station o o State-of-the-art DCSs do not satisfy objectives Root causes are both technical and commercial Level 1 Basic Control Alarm Safety System Bypass HMI PLC Vision: Standards-based, open, secure, interoperable process automation architecture o Commercially-available system o Ready for on-process use in

4 Background 2010: Began R&D for Control System Replacement Trends and influences: Avionics use of open systems; Future Airborne Capability Environment consortium (FACE TM ) Real-time virtualization and software-defined networking use in telecommunications IT/OT cybersecurity innovations IIoT, wireless, and cloud services drive expectations for change 2014: Developed Functional Characteristics to engage industry 2015: Contracted Lockheed Martin to define requirements and build prototype 2016: Formed the Open Process Automation TM Forum to develop standards 4

5 Vision (Open Process Automation TM Forum draft) A standards-based, open, secure, and interoperable process control architecture Best-in-class components; Timely, leading-edge performance Conformant components integrated for systems that are fit-for-purpose for end user s needs Adaptive intrinsic security Commercially available; Multiple industry sectors Protect suppliers intellectual property Portable end user software Simplify replacements; Reduce lifecycle cost Markets for suppliers and system integrators for components and services expanded Innovation and value creation 5

7 Plan and Schedule Three tracks What Who 1.) Build proof-of-concept prototype (Lockheed Martin contract) RFI to suppliers Proof of concept prototype RFP to suppliers for prototype PoC delivered 2.) Establish standards (Open Process Automation TM Forum of The Open Group) Kickoff Launch at ARC Forum Business Guide OPA standard v1 Conformance certification program OPA standard v2 3.) Build commercial system instances Collaboration structures Kickoff Instance of system for onprocess use 7

8 Proof-of-concept Project with Lockheed Martin: Status Lockheed Martin contract announced 14 Jan 2016 Issued Request for Information to suppliers on Jan 26; Received 53 RFI responses in Feb Completed Scope of Work, Trade Studies, System Requirements v1, and commercial agreements Issued Request For Proposal to 82 suppliers and system integrators on Dec 22; RFP responses due 13 Feb 2017 Proof-of-concept prototype to be delivered by 4Q17 8

9 Open Process Automation TM Forum of The Open Group: Status Collaboration of end users, suppliers, and system integrators to define business framework, select standards, and define conformance certification of open system components Opened for business in Sep 2016; Held inaugural meeting of members on Nov 16-17; 57 attendees from 30 member companies Member organizations as of 20 Jan

13 Industry Question #3: Accountability for system performance Experience of aerospace industry -- avionics Aircraft built by 5-level business ecosystem FACE TM delivering safe, reliable avionics systems at lower cost and faster technology insertion Well-established procurement method (DoD. (2013). Open Systems Architecture Contract Guidelines for Program Managers v.1.1) 5 of Top 50 U.S. Federal System Integrators (FCW) are members of OPA Forum Prime contractor System suppliers Equipment suppliers Component suppliers Material suppliers Experience of Control Systems Integrator Association System integrators implement DCS projects as well as PLC/SCADA ExxonMobil s experiences with system integrators on control system projects have been favorable CSIA founded in 1994; 500 member companies 13

14 Industry Question #4: Impact on suppliers business Forces of change Technology Shocks (e.g. cybersecurity threats) Standards Regulations Externalities Market-related As-is To-be New entrants Substitutes Customers Reduce systemic costs Increase margins by specializing on differentiating advantages Increase revenue by expanding market 14
