Keynote Talk 1: Demystifying Big Data and Data Science: Challenges, Opportunities and Path forward for Reliability, Safety and Availability of Deployed Systems
Keynote Speaker :
Dr. Satyam Priyadarshy, Technology Fellow and Chief Data Scientist, Halliburton, USA
Abstract:
While there is increased adoption of Big Data and Data Science across all industries, there remains many open challenges in terms of basic understanding of what is Big Data and to what extent Data Science can be employed when it comes to complex industrial applications. In this talk, I will present how to understand Big Data for industrial futures. What’s needed to create return on innovation from Big Data. Also, I will discuss the practical challenges and opportunities in deploying Big Data based approaches. The path forward requires the use of emerging technologies that provide for integrated, agile and modular platform to address challenges to overcome inefficiencies, and for building next generation solutions for monitoring and maximizing value of deployed systems. I will build a use case to show that Big Data and Data Science is essential for reliable, safe and highly available deployment system. Briefly, I will touch on the topic of investment in next generation talent pool that will create value from Big Data and Data Science.

Keynote Talk 2: Fusing Heterogeneous Data for Condition Based Maintenance Decisions
Keynote Speaker:
Mr. Subrat Nanda, Analytics Leader, Subsea & Drilling: GE Oil and Gas, USA
Abstract:
Today’s equipment generates a multitude of data that is of heterogeneous nature. The paradigm of Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) demands optimal maintenance decisions considering various factors like equipment operations profile, and their impact on equipment life, past and future planned service activities, contractual obligations of guaranteed performance, and safety. All these factors when combined with diversity of operational demands, presents a unique opportunity and challenge to develop a CBM program to maximize equipment life while ensuring safety is maintained at all times. This talk presents some of the challenges and approaches to address them when building a scalable CBM program. The presentation will include introduction to diverse data streams an equipment generates, managing and fusing diverse data, role of data science, anomaly detection and organizational changes needed to implement CBM.
