9.4 Preparation

9.4.1 Site Engagement

The following individuals on site should be engaged to have buy-in of the product.
 General Manager
 Occupational Hygienist
 Service Delivery Specialist
 IM Representative
 Control & Instrumentation
 MES Specialist

9.4.2 Readiness Investigation

The following question should be submitted to site for feedback. This will assist in
identifying if the site is ready for implementation.

9.4.2.1 Infrastructure
1. Is there enough space on the current on-site virtual hosts to accommodate the
addition of two new servers?
2. Will SQL Server licenses be required?
3. Will MS Operation System licenses be required?
4. Do you foresee any additional hardware and software related costs with regards to
hosting the application?

9.4.2.2 Automated Systems

1. Are there any real-time monitoring solutions currently implemented?
2. If the above is true the following information should be gathered.
 Systems Documentation
 Business Owner
 Integration options
3. What type of sensors and equipment is currently implemented on site?
4. Are the sensors/equipment connected to PLC’s and is the data available in a
historian?
5. What type of historians are operational on site?
6. What form of historian integration is available?
7. Are there enough tag licenses available on the historian should there be a need to
add additional equipment?
8. Do you have personal on site that can procure and install additional sensors?
9. Can your site personal configure the sensors to report on your current SCADA’s?
10. Is there a need for visualizing this on monitors across the site?
11. Are there any special requirements that you foresee? This can be expanded – based
on this, detailed requirements gathering must be done by a business analyst.

9.4.2.3 Standalone Systems - MDE Requirements.

1. Are there currently any standalone systems on/off site that requires integration?
2. How is the data extracted from these systems?
3. How often is the extraction done?
4. By who is the extraction done?
