1 Introduction to NeSSI and Present Status of the Initiative as it progresses from Generation 1 to Generation 3 Mel Koch, CPAC / APL University of Washington, Seattle, WA

2 Overview History / Objectives Recent and Planned Activities Goals and Expectations for this session

3 CPAC LEGACY CREATES FORUMS FOR PROMOTING ADVANCES IN PAT AND IN GLOBAL APPROACHES TO TECHNICAL COOPERATION IN PAT RESPONDS TO INDUSTRY NEEDS DEVELOPS ACADEMIC PROGRAMS TO EDUCATE STUDENTS IS MULTI-DISCIPLINARY, MULTI-INDUSTRY

4 CPAC listened to Industry regarding the need to standardized sampling systems and created a forum for discussing and clarifying the need A request for proposals was generated based on typical sampling requirements and several hardware suppliers responded. NeSSI was created and has been sustained in CPAC

5 What is NeSSI? Industry-driven effort to define and promote a new standardized alternative to sample conditioning systems for analyzers and sensors GEN I - Standard fluidic interface for modular surface-mount components ISA SP76 GEN II - Standard wiring and communications interfaces GEN III - Standard platform for micro analytics

6 What constitutes a Process Analytics system? Support and Maintenance Process Control Sample preparation Measurement Data Transmission A Samp. return Validation Calibration Shelter Safety Utilities Services Maintenance aids Performance mon. Infrastructure and support systems

7 What is on the horizon for Process Analytics? Advances in: Sample preparation Data transmission Measurement modular designs smart systems new technologies Support and Maintenance Process Control Sample preparation Measurement Data Transmission A Gen III u-analytical Gen II Networked Gen I Fluid handling NeSSI : New Sampling and Sensor Initiative

8 CPAC Activities Where NeSSI is promoted IMTeC June 2010, 2011, & 2012 CPAC Summer Institutes July IFPAC Europa 2008, 2010 & 2012 CPAC Member meetings (May & Nov) IFPAC annual meetings January Satellite Workshops - Rome March ISA AD April

9 Goals and Expectations for this Session

10 Planning for Upcoming NeSSI Activities at IFPAC, ISA AD, IMTeC, and CPAC workshops Highlighting the Value of NeSSI and its Enhancement of Related Technologies Emphasizing Case Studies from Participating End Users

11 NeSSI Platform/Component/Product developers: Provide an overview of the current status and availability of NeSSI based products and sensors Obtain input and get alignment on the goals for an overall smart analytical system architecture based on the NeSSI / communication platform Identify the gaps in the current NeSSI platform, sensors, SAM applets etc. that will allow targeted development Understand the options for adopting external communication protocols based on OPC and other standard DCS communication protocols

12 End-users Learn what is new from the NeSSI product developers Learn about the current acceptance of NeSSI based systems and the extent it will become the preferred sampling and smart analytical system implementation for new and replacement projects Assist with identifying gaps that are preventing general acceptance of NeSSI -based analytical systems. Understand the drive towards Gen II/III systems that will achieve lower total cost of ownership

13 System Integrators: Understand the reasons for adapting your business model for supporting NeSSI and Smart Analytical Systems. Include total cost of ownership in the decision making process Provide input as to what is necessary to adopt NeSSI based systems at the system integration level

14 Micro-Analytical / Sensor Developers and Analytical Vendors in general Learn from the Gen III talks today on ways to use the NeSSI platform to facilitate the design of analytical tools that will interface to a process sample via the NeSSI sampling platform and taking advantage of existing communication interfaces to DCS, etc.

15 Newcomers Become familiar with the Gen II and Gen III concepts that support a new generation of Smart Analytical Systems and the role of NeSSI as an enabling sampling and communications platform Participate in this forum where you can network with suppliers, end-users, system integrators and technology developers that will bring you up to speed about this new paradigm in process analysis that is a major driver towards lowering the total cost of ownership of a new generation of process analyzers

16 Publications - articles and reviews on NeSSI Media pack media pack prepared Marketing Wiki we re in the world s encyclopaedia History - we have an auto-biography Linkedin - you can join this discussion group And our home library is on the CPAC web site

17 Addendum Relevant Status of Developments are on display in the exposition hall NeSSI Newsletter topics are being requested Planning for ISA AD, IMTeC, and CPAC Spring meeting workshop underway
