Main article: IIoT - Industrial Internet of Things
2022: Sibur started selling its IT solutions abroad
Sibur began selling its IT solutions abroad, which became known in mid-September 2022. We are talking about industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technologies and an AR platform for remote maintenance and repair of equipment, which will be implemented in Kazakhstan with the participation of the Beeline Kazakhstan mobile operator.
As a representative of Sibur told Vedomosti, a joint team of IT specialists will be involved in the introduction of technologies among customers.
The Sibur AR complex consists of two key components: augmented reality glasses with a camera and a screen that displays information, and a proprietary mobile media platform integrated into them. The main purpose of the AR complex is to conduct online consultations at production facilities.
The service allows you to use experts from anywhere in the world without delays and violations of the information security of the enterprise. In the case of complex and highly specialized equipment, the introduction of the AR-complex completely eliminates the need to organize business trips and field consultations, while ensuring compliance with quarantine restrictions.
It is noted that the introduction of the augmented reality complex at Sibur enterprises made it possible to significantly reduce the cost of attracting third-party expertise to factories, as well as reduce the need for business trips of its own employees. During the period of strict quarantine restrictions associated with the pandemic, the tool made it possible to ensure non-stop operation of enterprises and repair equipment with remote connection of experts.
As for the industrial Internet of Things complex offered by Sibur, it is a holistic software and hardware solution with a convenient interface that does not require technical training from the user and does not differ in its complexity from the smart home interface. The product currently has no analogues in the Russian and international markets. The potential demand for it was noted among companies in the petrochemical, oil and gas and metallurgical sectors.[1]
2021: Sibur has introduced 2 thousand industrial Internet sensors for remote control of plants
Sibur has introduced 2,000 industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) sensors for remote plant control. The oil and gas chemical company announced this on September 23, 2021. The project was implemented at enterprises in Tomsk and Tobolsk.
By connecting more than 2,000 IoT sensors and 15 base stations, Sibur, according to the company, has created the widest industrial sensor network in Russia.
The company has been actively introducing the industrial Internet of Things for several years. IIoT helps you remotely monitor performance in plants, rather than manually collecting it, and quickly make data-driven decisions. So, for example, at the pyrolysis plant, where it is important to maintain a certain temperature of pipes, people no longer need to check heat tracing with their hands - now there are special sensors on the pipes that automatically transmit data from the equipment to the IIoT platform.
The platform itself is able to store, organize and visualize data for users in a convenient web interface. The developers of Sibur Digital created it from scratch, since the ready-made solutions on the market did not fit the tasks set.
With the help of its Internet of Things for 2020-2021, Sibur was able to save more than 80 million rubles and several thousand hours of labor by automating processes. By the end of 2021, sensors are expected to be available at nine factories. Also, from June 2021, the development is also available for external clients of the holding.
By September 2021, Sibur continues a large-scale digital transformation, which will provide a new level of efficiency thanks to the modernization of production, organizational, business processes. Transformation is carried out in several areas - the use of Big Data for decision-making, digitalization and robotization of processes, the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), augmented/virtual reality (AR/VR), etc. Sibur also develops its own enterprise data management platform and tools for their effective use in decision-making processes.
2020: Launch of industrial IoT platform
On June 18, 2020, SIBUR announced the development of a platform for the industrial Internet of Things. It provides management of IoT network devices of all levels, collects and stores data from sensors and processes information. Now the installation operator receives the information he needs - temperature, vibration, performance readings of IIoT sensors - and can also control remote devices in the web interface that he can create himself.
As noted in SIBUR, the petrochemical industry is quite well automated - all critical production processes are controlled using PCS systems. At the same time, there remains a number of manual processes for monitoring equipment that need to be automated, as well as tasks for collecting data for decision-making in the field of process control.
 | "The industrial Internet of Things not only simplifies the control of technological equipment, but also collects data for other digital tools. This data is sent to the corporate data warehouse in real time and is used by analytics to make forecasts and optimize technological modes. IIoT solutions allow industry to reach a different level of process automation, increase the soundness of production and ensure the development of a data-driven approach in decision-making, " emphasized' Vasily Nomokonov, member of the board - executive director of SIBUR " |  |
The decision to develop its own tool was made due to the fact that the platforms available on the market do not meet the requirements and objectives of the Internet of Things at the petrochemical enterprise. To launch the project, it was necessary to equip non-critical units with automated control systems, give plant operators without programming skills the opportunity to independently connect sensors and create interfaces for equipment control. At the same time, the creation and ownership of the platform of its own development turned out to be twice as profitable to buy paid analogues and their refinement, emphasized in SIBUR. IIoT in the company is based on the LoRaWAN wireless network, all devices of which are managed by the network server.
| | "One of the main challenges faced by product developers of this class is the acute lack of feedback from users in the phase from creating MVP (minimum viable product) to implementing a combat product. In our case, the product development team consists of specialists in the field of IT and digital technologies and professionals with experience in petrochemical production. This combination allows you to develop and give users a product that works to achieve business goals, " | |
According to the developer, you can master the tool quickly. As of June 2020, the first users - the apparatuses of the ZapSibneftekhim ECU production - have already been trained.
| | "Adding a sensor to the platform interface is easy. It is enough to scan its QR code with a webcam to connect it to the network. You do not need to manually enter a number or other parameters. Then the operator takes the required technological diagram in the form of a graphic file, loads it into the editor of the mnemonic diagram and receives a new diagram at the output, where he places the sensor, choosing the necessary response limits, for example, temperature: minimum and maximum. Thus, the production employee in three steps independently creates an interface with which he will operate the system, " | |
As of June 2020, SIBUR will proceed to the stage of replication of IIoT solutions at its enterprises. The pilot circuit includes Tobolsk enterprises, Tomskneftekhim, Voronezhsintezkauchuk and SIBUR Kstovo. The circulation perimeter and implementation areas were determined based on the analysis of failure statistics and risk matrices for equipment items.
| | "The tool is aimed at increasing the time of useful work, the effectiveness of production assets and reducing labor costs for routine manual control operations. At the same time, in order to achieve these results, it is necessary to ensure the involvement of line employees, " noted Vladimir Pleshkov, Head of Development of Digitalization of Production | |
The circulation is based on a register of business cases and ideas for using the industrial Internet of Things, which contains information about current problems in industries, technical solutions and potential results.
| | "Enterprises constantly exchange experience - this speeds up the process of forming a portfolio of projects. We take into account the economic indicators of each business case, since the introduction of the industrial Internet of Things involves not only investments in the hardware and software part, but also the development of the corresponding infrastructure for data transmission and processing, " noted Ivan Tarasov, Project Implementation Manager | |
