cpp ACHEMA PERSPECTIVES Pictures: Linde How Linde Engineering re-invents itself with start-up methods DIGITALISATION STRATEGY From the initial concept down to the last nut and bolt, it can take engineers years to plan and construct an industrial plant. This meticulous, step-bystep process is in sharp contrast to the speed at which disruptive business models emerge from Silicon Valley. Technology company The Linde Group is bridging these two worlds by embedding a start-up culture into its digitalisation strategy. 16 cpp 02-2018
The Linde Plantserv portal: operators can organise repairs more easily over the Internet, sourcing spare parts more efficiently and at competitive prices Engineers use virtual reality headsets to train future operators of industrial plants. Algorithms forecast the lifespan of plant components. Smart glasses help technicians solve issues at distant locations. These are just three examples of digital projects that Linde has brought to application maturity over the past year. The Engi - neering Division of The Linde Group already has several years of experience in integrating digital technologies. The most notable examples are its five Remote Operating Centres (ROC), which are tasked with the remote control and management of about 1000 industrial plants around the world. What is new, however, is something typical of the start-up sector – the accelerator process. Test it all – but decide quickly Interdisciplinary teams bring together digitalisation experts and engineers to work on project ideas for three months and then quickly transition them to the business portfolio if they prove successful. The team simply drops anything that does not work within this timeframe (proof of concept). The ideas for new digital projects are often suggested by employees from Linde Engineering’s established lines of business. As business owners, they implement the projects in collaboration with members of the digitalisation team, cooperating if necessary with an international network of external partners, most of whom come from the start-up world. Linde has set up a Digital Base Camp to bundle digitalisation efforts and anchor them throughout the company. Since August 2016, the digitalisation team has been working at this hub, located at the company’s Pullach site near Munich. In February 2018, Linde opened a second Digital Base Camp in Singapore to harness South East Asia’s huge potential for innovation and meet local market demands more effectively. Whereas other companies house their digitalisation experts in external offices, Linde prefers to keep its digital innovators close to the business. Constant and close dialogue between the digitalisation team and business owners is key to the success of digital projects. That is why some members of the digitalisation team are former employees from Linde’s traditional lines of business – complemented by data specialists, software developers and external digital experts. Creative ways to harness data Many of these digital projects use data that Linde has been collecting from a variety of sources for years now.
