Aneta Manningtonova’s Blog – June Edition

Welcome to our Online Newsletter: Supply Talk. This issue is packed full of the latest information including our upcoming and on demand webinars and the latest news within the industry.

In this month’s spotlight interviews we would like to introduce Christian Menegon from HP. Christian will be discussing his thoughts on his upcoming webinar.

As always, we like to explore some weird and wonderful events that are happening in different cultures around the world – and this month is no different.  Last edition we gave you interesting background information on Mayday and its history and in keeping with our traditions, we would like to mention another fantastic event that is currently in our midst.

Stadion Brasil 2

It has been 4 years since the previous breathtaking sporting event known as The FIFA World Cup and it’s now upon us once again. For those of you who are unaware (where have you been?) The FIFA World Cup is the most watched sporting event in the world, where 23 players in 32 teams represent their countries and compete for the title of the best footballing (soccer) nation on the globe

The culture that surrounds The FIFA World Cup is extraordinary. Communities across the world will come together, not only to support their country, but also to support their love for football. Regularly you can see hundreds or even thousands outside watching games on big screens cheering on teams and most importantly, communities are watching it together. Weather permitting, you can regularly see BBQ parties and lot’s of alcoholic beverages being consumed and people having an enjoyable time. This event even defies time zones with countries on the opposite side of the world, getting up at odd hours to support their country.

If this sporting event doesn’t interest you, The FIFA World Cup is still an excuse to have a good time and enjoy the atmosphere. Let us know who you will be supporting!

In other exciting news, we are pleased to announce that in July we will be updating our webinar platform to ON24. Our new platform will offer more interaction for both our audience and presenters during live and on demand presentations.

live audience dashboard

As part of the audience you will have exclusive access to a dashboard which includes the live presentation, presenter bios, Q&A and further widgets. The dashboard can be personalised by maximising, minimising and resizing different features for your optimum viewing. You will continue to have the opportunity to submit your questions throughout the live webcast – however, you will now be able to participate in polls & surveys, download resources, contact presenters directly and even tweet about the webinar! All from within the dashboard. A similar level of interaction will continue during the on demand recording of presentations so, if you miss the webinar you can still participate and not merely watch a recording. The new platform is supported by tablets and mobiles so you can continue to attend our webinars even when you are out of the office.

As a presenter, we are aiming to make presenting as ‘stress free’ as possible with a more user friendly presenter platform which allows you to focus on your presentation skills. As mentioned there are many opportunities to interact with your audience, on top of a presentation, you can now show live examples of software, short video clips with audio and even reach out via webcam.

We are looking forward to bringing this new dashboard to you so please register for any webinars of interest or please feel free to contact me if you would like to host your own webinar.

Thank you to everyone who commented on our blog and participated in our quiz question last month. For those of you who missed it our question was:

True or False. Rainforests are being cut down at the rate of 100 acres per minute?

The answer is true.

If you fancy your chances at winning a voucher, simply answer this month’s quiz question – Good luck!

This month we are launching our first Knowledge Sharing Webinar, which provides an opportunity for key industry speakers renowned for their expertise and innovative thoughts within Supply to share their ideas and opinions to people all around the world.

Spotlight Interview: Dr Paul Bird, Head of the Manufacturing Engineering Group, Fujifilm Diosynth Biotechnologies

Paul BirdPaul Bird works for FUJIFILM Diosynth Biotechnologies as Head of Manufacturing Engineering Group where his responsibilities include the transfer of technology and processes from R&D to cGMP operations. Paul has a PhD in Biochemical Engineering (University College London) and recently completed the Supply Professionalism Programme at Warwick University. 

 

 Why did you decide to do a webinar with Business Review Webinars?

A project to automate a single-use closed final filtration and bulk fill operation carried out in collaboration with Parker domnick hunter raised a number of interesting and important issues that had to be addressed. Business Review provides the perfect forum  for a discussion within the industry around what best practice means in this case. 

What are you looking forward to explaining to the audience?

As a biologic API (drug product) process development and manufacturing organisation FUJIFILM Diosynth Biotechnologies is growing through the transformation of operational learning into smarter innovations and doing this faster in order to create a competitive edge from which we can meet our customers needs. This capability is required by our customers to meet the emerging challenges of modern health care systems where there is a demand not just for better quality but also better access to advanced biologic medicines.

Presented is a case study integrating automation with single use technologies to achieve site standardisation of bulk drug product final filtration and pack-off. This was achieved in a way which enhances quality compliance in support of right first time manufacture yet remains, by-design, flexible such that customer requirements are always fully met.   

What has been the best moment in your career?

As an employee of FUJIFILM I got to study at WMG, a department of the University of Warwick, assessing the effectiveness of the supply chain to generate customer value. One outcome of this study was the development of an innovative training and guidance system called ‘TAG’ which was short listed for the IChemE Awards for bioprocessing and won the NEPIC Award for Sustainable Manufacturing. 

The application of the TAG system to underpin compliance and right first time manufacturing is presented demonstrating its use to facilitate and strengthen the partnership with Parker domnick hunter so that the supply of operational knowledge is equal to that of other deliverables e.g. consumables. 

How do you relax in your leisure time?

I am a keen supporter of the Woodcraft Folk (http://woodcraft.org.uk/) a movement for children and young people to play and grow. Supporting and leading an Elfins group for 6 to 9 year olds is a lot of fun. Through our activities, outings and camps we better understand important issues like the environment, world debt, global conflict and, in recent years sustainable development. By encouraging children to think, we hope they will help build a peaceful, fairer world. We always welcome new supporters! 

Where would you recommend visiting in the world and why?

The best kept secret is the Northumberland Coast in North East England. The wind-buffetted beaches along this unspoilt coastal stretch seem to go on forever. With enchanting salt marshes, undulating sand dunes, and the boundless, shimmering blue of the perma-choppy North Sea, there couldn’t be a more fitting setting for a spot of wild camping. Some of the beaches are so enchanting I really must not tell lest the secret get out! 

Paul will be presenting the webinar alongside Nick Hutchinson, Market Development Manager, Parker domnick hunter on the 25th June at 3pm London. To learn more and register click here.

Spotlight Interview: Christian Menegon, Business Development Manager, HP

Christian MenegonAs electronic engineer, Christian started his career in the field by servicing pen plotters. He then moved to application support for cad cam systems with Scitex for 10 years which led him to production management in a repro house active in cartography and printed circuit boards. 

At Drupa 1995, Indigo was launching the first digital press for industrial applications. Christian joined there as product manager bringing his market knowledge into the development of these revolutionary new products and solutions. Sales support and marketing were to be created, followed by sales management which he contributed to set up. 

From his experience which started at the very beginning of this adventure, Christian became a central platform of knowledge and communication for the industrial products. 

When HP acquired Indigo, while still sharing this accumulated information across regions, Christian extended his activities towards brand owners education. He now acts as business development manager promoting what digital printing can offer the brand owners in terms of benefits, associated or not, with other HP solutions.

1. Why did you decide to do a webinar with Business Review Webinars?

We are today in a work rhythm that is not always allowing us to do the face to face meetings as we would like to. Taking 45 minutes out of our office and daily work is quite tough. And we all recognise the value of the face to face meetings. This is true for us, and true for all business managers who need to access some information.  A webinar is an easy, convenient, and efficient way to stay in the office, and dedicate only the time needed to a chosen type of information. Specifically for the type of information we, HP Indigo, need to pass out, the business review webinars are a great platform connecting in a professional way quality audience with needs, and advisors who have some thoughts on the possible solutions.

2. What are you looking forward to explaining to the audience?

I need to show them what can be their interest in choosing to demand for digital printing packages or labels. Just by the words “Digital printing” one may understand this is a printing technology and not go further. The reality is that even being a printing technology, the services it brings to a brand owner and a printer can be very significant, and clearly far above just printing. This needs to be explained by showing examples and illustrating possibilities.

3. What has been the best moment in your career?

Being an active part of this industry revolution. Since Guttenberg, the printing industry has only improved in technology via innovation addressing quality, stability, speed, …. Digital printing is not only disruptive but also connects printing with the rest of our life. To play a role in this change is really rewarding.

4. What would someone be surprised to know about you?

While I defend digital printing and its environment for almost 20 years, I also fight against an abuse of computers in our day to day lives!

5. And Finally…

Beach or Skiing? No beach, but under water, and skiing slightly out of the regular slopes.

Books or Films? Not the same effect on me: Book for a relaxing moment, film to be taken away from the normal life.

Mac or PC? PC because I can trick it and cheat it. Mac is too good!  🙂

Red or White wine? Why choose? Both of course!

Christian will be presenting HP’s webinar: Digitally Printed Packaging – “The Art of the Possible” on the 12th June at 3pm London. To learn more and register please click here.

Setting High Standards – How the Digital Mobile Radio (DMR) Standards are poised to change the way Utilities view their Land Mobile Radio investments.

Tait RadioFor years the Utility Industry has depended on the reliability of Land Mobile Radio systems to support their most mission critical responsibility, public and employee safety. Land mobile radio systems are the lifeline between system operations and their field crews that are working in one of the most dangerous environments in our communities.

Working around power lines that carry anywhere from 110 to 345,000 volts is dangerous business. When storms occur and power lines are on the ground or sparking dangerously overhead, it’s the utility worker that must quickly identify and isolate hazards so that repairs can be made and power can be safely and promptly restored.

Historically, these voice systems played a much more significant role in everything from dispatching work orders to meter reading to constructions crews. Now, with workforce automation solutions, such as automated data dispatch, most field communications are over carrier networks, delivering digital work orders to laptops, tablets and smart phones. The utilization of the LMR system has declined dramatically, along with its perceived value to the business. That all changes when an outage event occurs and their land mobile radio system again becomes the center of the assessment and restoration activities.

Let’s not kid ourselves, these systems are expensive, and their perceived value to the industry is diminishing. This is where the DMR standard steps into the conversation, as it provides two key business values that are undeniable.

First, it enables a Utility to optimize the value of a “must have” investment in critical voice communications.

Secondly, it enables a utility to minimize future capital investments and operating expenses related to private broadband, MESH and carrier services.

To be clear, DMR is not a silver bullet for Smart Grid communications, or for distribution automation and SCADA. It is simply a tool that utilities already must invest in, and it can now support a fair number of SCADA and Telemetry use cases that can tolerate latencies of up to 1.5 seconds and work within its limited bandwidth. Not very impressive when compared to 3G/4G performance, but quite impressive when you consider there is minimal to no associated operating expenses, the link and end point can be monitored, managed, and correlated with grid events, and utilities will be able to distinguish between a communications outage and an electrical one, and it is all performed over a network already designed for mission critical applications.

Let’s take a closer look at these two undeniable business value statements concerning DMR.

DMR helps the utility industry Optimize the Business Value of Land Mobile Radio Capital Investments.

  • DMR more than doubles the capacity of legacy systems through the use of time division multiple access and packet data, delivering two voice or data for each licensed 12.5 KHz channel.
  • The DMR standard is open and supports interoperability with other DMR compliant original equipment manufacturers, providing the opportunity for vendor diversity and competitive market driven pricing.
  • DMR can provide SCADA and Telemetry Communications anywhere within the Land Mobile Radio coverage that can tolerate its bandwidth and latency characteristics.
  • DMR supports Quality of Service and committed bandwidth allocation for priority traffic, whether it is voice or data.
  • DMR requires no additional communication sites; it is the only digital LMR standard for Voice and Data that was designed to match the legacy coverage footprint.

 

DMR helps utilities Minimize Capital Investments and Operating Expenses for field area communications.

  • By optimizing the business value of land mobile radio, a utility will be able to minimize their investment in private broadband, allowing targeted deployment for high bandwidth, lower latency use cases.
  • In addition, utilities that want to utilize their advanced metering mesh radio systems can do so judiciously, minimizing the added complexity and performance variability inherent to mesh systems.
  • Finally, and most importantly, utilities can minimize the rapid growth in operating expenses by leveraging infrastructure that is already managed and supported. By utilizing the DMR system for SCADA and Telemetry in addition to its voice application, utilities can use less carrier services; more fully utilize their existing service management capabilities and optimize both capital and operating expenses.

In closing, the DMR standard was developed with utilities in mind. Its’ mission critical design is capable of supporting critical use cases beyond voice. When fully utilized, it provides a path to a higher return on investment for Land Mobile Radio Systems, and a tool to minimize growing operating expenses and minimize of capital investments in private broadband.

How much power are you wasting?

TurbodenSince late ‘90s renewable energy has been living a boom that would have shaped the future of the power sector in Europe and in the rest of the world. Renewable sources, specifically bioenergy, solar, wind and geothermal energy have been on the verge of a boom that proved to be even almost uncontrolled in many countries. Renewable sources gained public awareness while few players and few countries started opening possibilities and granting incentives (or specific regulation) to boost the industrial footprint overall efficiency and reduce their overall CO2 emissions through the exploitation of waste heat streams.

Industrial players use to release this heat in the environment someway paying to remove it.
The ORC technology represents an excellent opportunity to exploit waste heat and increase the overall efficiency of systems and to contribute to a sensible reduction of greenhouse gases released through electric or mechanical power production.

What’s going on today?
Nowadays natural gas is playing an increasingly important key role in the world’s economy, as it is seen as a viable alternative to oil, whose reserves are being depleted in many parts of the world. For the United States of America, one of the most oil dependent countries in the world, natural gas is an attractive alternative also thanks to the ability to produce natural gas domestically (including shale exploitation).

The use of this fossil fuel in the United States and elsewhere in the world depends upon the many natural gas pipeline networks that have been set up. These transmission pipelines carry the precious resource efficiently at high pressure over thousands of miles, from the well where it is produced right to the users. In order to keep the high pressure required, the gas has to pass through gas compressor stations, located approximately every 100 miles along the pipeline, in order to boost the pressure and ensure that it can keep flowing. The gas in compressor stations is normally pressurized by dedicated turbines, electric motors and reciprocating engines driving compressors. Hot exhaust from the prime movers in a gas compressor station constitutes a potential precious free source of heat.

Turboden ORC units can convert waste heat from the exhaust of gas turbine-driven (or reciprocating engines-driven) compressors into clean, reliable, cost-effective electricity, or mechanical power resulting in an increased overall efficiency of the system.
Turboden recovery solutions allow to enhance the efficiency of oil & gas transmission systems, therefore to boost financial turnover as well as to contribute to companies environmental sustainability.

ORC technology can be efficiently adopted also in other different fields of application of the oil & gas industry, such as exploitation of flare gases, heat recovery from refinery processes and liquid streams associated with oil wells. ORC systems are easy to integrate, flexibly operating even on highly inconstant heat sources, and completely automated (leaving the industrial user focused on his/her own core process).

Turboden ORC systems have already been chosen by prestigious customers (overall 280 references worldwide) for several heat recovery applications due to high reliability, high level of efficiency, minimum running costs and ease of installation. In 2010 Turboden breaks into the North American market with its first 1 MWe ORC unit in a heat recovery system downstream of a gas turbine in a gas compressor station, where the waste heat from the turbine exhaust gas is recovered in a heat recovery boiler and transformed into electric power. In the same year Turboden supplied a 1.8 MWe unit that recovers heat from the associated gas coming from oil extraction through controlled combustion (instead of flaring) in an oil refinery plant in Russia.

Turboden is already studying advanced heat recovery systems for major oil & gas players located in the Middle East, Russia, and Central Europe, and it has strategically decided to invest more and more in applications for this industry.

So, let’s talk about how you can pick this low-hanging fruit available for your industry.

Have you ever thought about investing in a technology that, recovering waste heat, can produce electric and mechanical power, exploitable into the production processes?

In your opinion, what are the main barriers that prevent the penetration of these solutions in the oil & gas sector?

Do you reckon this innovative system worthy or, by contrast, not enough impacting to be of interest for the oil & gas sector?

What are the ways to push the diffusion of these systems in the industry?

Energy Talk: Aneta Manningtonova’s Blog – May Edition

Welcome to our Online Newsletter: Energy Talk. This issue is packed full of the latest information including our upcoming and on demand webinars and the latest news within the industry.

In this month’s spotlight interview we would like to introduce Mahmud Jarrar from Vallourec. Mahmud will be discussing his thoughts on their upcoming webinar.

Like in our previous newsletters, we enjoy exploring the different traditions from all across the world. This month, we’ve seen (and will continue to see) a whole range of celebrations. At the beginning of May, we saw a public holiday known as “May Day”. This public holiday coincides with “International Workers’ Day” in what is a traditional spring holiday for many cultures; where dancing, singing and consumption of vast amounts of cake are part of the celebrations.

MaibaumSpecifically in English history, to celebrate this day there is a traditional dance known as Maypole Dancing. This involved trees being cut down and erected as a pole in the villages. Locals would dance around the pole to mark the beginning of summer and commencement of planting of the crops. It is suggested that the tallest maypole stood more than 143 feet (44 meters) high in 1661, London.

This year, May Day celebrations fell on a Thursday which meant that many mainland European countries were treated with a long weekend; no doubt spent enjoying quality time with friends and family. Interestingly, even though May Day is celebrated on the first of May, prior to 1752 it was actually celebrated 11 days earlier.
