FHI will organize the next edition of the 25 January 2024 Production Process Automation<\/a> (PPA) event. I speak with Johan Ike, consultant for WIB<\/a>, about the relationship between suppliers, system integrators and end users.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

By: Hans Risseeuw<\/p>\r\n

WIB is the end-user association - to which approximately 40 companies are affiliated - for instrumentation and process control. The association was founded in the 1960s by five large Dutch companies in the process industry. Originally WIB stood for 'Working Group for Instrument Assessment.' Now this has been translated into English as 'Working-party on Instrument Behavior.' WIB's leitmotif is independent collaboration. The reason for the 'big five' to sit together was to independently share test results in the field of process instrumentation. At the time, companies still did this individually at high costs. Collaboration was and still is the foundation of WIB.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n

\u201cPPA is the event where we meet each other; we have to do it together.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n

Johan tells with some nostalgia how in the years he worked for AkzoNobel, all the knowledge and skills were available internally at the large companies. \u201cIn Oss, for example, there was a large pharmaceutical research center where, among other things, the pill \u2013 the well-known contraceptive \u2013 was developed and in Arnhem there was a large research center where hundreds of scientists worked on innovation and development.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

Due to various factors, the major end users have focused on their core business and the technicians and research departments have been divested and\/or sold. The trend at the moment is for technicians to be hired externally.<\/p>\r\n

Production Process Automation is now roughly divided into three areas that, like a marriage where the swing has come to an end for the children, still stays together. Suppliers, system integrators and end users have been driven apart and condemned to each other by the trend of recent decades through specialization and efficiency. Collaboration is not a luxury, but a necessity.<\/p>\r\n

After a long international career, Johan sees the role of WIB and FHI here. He calls WIB and FHI the \u201cglue\u201d that brings the three separate areas \u2013 the suppliers, system integrators and end users \u2013 together. The PPA event is exactly one of the moments where the three very different companies come together and can look behind the scenes together. He calls system integrators the link that connects suppliers and end users.<\/p>\r\n

\u201cEverything has fallen apart so much,\u201d says Johan, \u201cthat you come together again at a fair like PPA.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

The magic word he repeats is standardization. This can of course cause resistance from system integrators and suppliers. But Johan is convinced that \u2013 and here he emphasizes that we have to do it together \u2013 we have no other choice.<\/p>\r\n

\u201cThe process industry wants a control system to which you add functionalities. Modular construction. An element that you click in and that then works 'normally'. In other words: Open Process Automation.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

\u201cSuppliers are a bit afraid of standardization,\u201d Johan adds, \u201cbecause they want to retain their customers. One system communicates little or nothing with a competitor's system \u2013 although this is getting better these days.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

We conclude that it is a shame that the engineers are no longer part of the core business. \u201cBut, this also has an innovative advantage. It forces us to work together. You no longer work for one company, you work with and for each other.\u201d<\/p>\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\r\n\t
