NeSSI: New Sampling and Sensor Initiative

What technologies will influence measurement?

In Process Analytics, advances have been enabled by developments in communications, computing, military

Lasers and detectors • lower cost, more reliable, more tuneable, shorter wavelength

Computing technology • intelligent systems, data visualisation

Communications • wireless systems

Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) • integration of mechanical elements, sensors, actuators, electronics on

a silicon substrate

Nanotechnology • structures, devices and systems at nanometer scale

Goals and Expectations for this Session

NeSSI Platform/SAM/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/SAM sampling/communication platform

• Understand the role of the Sensor Actuator Manager (SAM) and what gaps exist in terms commercializing a “standard” SAM device

• 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

End-users • Learn what is new from the NeSSI product developers • Learn about the current acceptance of NeSSI

based system 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 at the end-user level

• Understand the drive towards Gen II/III systems that will achieve lower total cost of ownership

System Integrators:

• Understand the reasons for adapting your business model for supporting NeSSI /SAM and Smart Analytical Systems

• Provide input as to what is necessary to adopt NeSSI based systems at the system integration level

Analytical Sensor Developers

• Learn how to use the NeSSI platform to

facilitate the design of analytical sensors that will interface to a process sample via the NeSSI sampling platform, interfacing to SAM and taking advantage of existing communication interfaces to DCS, etc.

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/SAM as an enabling sampling and communications platform

• Participate in a 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

NeSSI™ - objectives Facilitate the acceptance / implementation of modular,

miniature & smart sample system technology based on ANSI/ISA SP76 standard

Provide a technology bridge to the process for...“sensor/lab-on-a-chip” micro-analytical devices

Promote the concept of field-mounted (By-Line) smart analytical systems

Lay the groundwork for Pipe to Pixel™ open connectivity architecture for intrinsically safe transducer communications and industry standard communication protocols
