 Webinar Summary: 

The Internet of Things is not a futuristic technology trend: it’s here today, and it starts with your things. You don’t need to rip and replace; you can create the Internet of Your Things by building on your existing infrastructure, using familiar devices and services in new ways, and combining data you are already collecting, to ultimately help you make better-informed business decisions.

Manufacturing is fueled by big data, and intelligent systems have the potential to transform the Chemicals processing industry by improving the supply chain and optimizing manufacturing operations. Intelligent systems provide the backbone of technology that enables the capture of process data from industry devices, connectivity for data capture and business intelligence tools to convert that data into impact.

Attend this webcast to understand The Internet of Things and hear about some successful implementations of Intelligent Systems in the Chemicals processing industry and practical guidance.

 

Viewers Will Learn:
  • How to benefit from The Internet of Things
  • How it can revolutionize productivity, increase efficiency and drive higher profits for Chemical processing companies
  • Key benefits such as: efficient commodity and energy management for sustainable products, better use of resources and cost savings, benchmarking of global production sites and increased productivity,  agility and mobility for managing global businesses, time to market improvement along the value chain
  • Examples of successful implementations and strategies to capitalize on the Internet of Things today

Support & Troubleshooting

What support is available for users on Macintosh and Unix/Linux-Based operating systems?
This presentation incorporates advanced multimedia features that allow elements such as slides, polling questions, surveys, and application demonstrations to be dynamically sent to the audience synchronized with the presentation. Mac and Linux audiences may view the presentation using a supported Firefox Web browser and Adobe Flash player. Please note that some presentations may not feature a Flash option. 

Why can’t I hear audio?

  • If you have internal speakers, make sure they aren’t muted.
  • If you have external speakers, make sure they are powered on and aren’t muted.
  • Make sure you did not lose Internet connectivity.
  • Make sure your system has passed the system test located under "Test my system now".
  • If your system is using Adobe Flash Player and you receive a "connection failed" message it’s most likely due to a proxy server blocking Flash streaming. Please contact your local IT admin.
  • If you are using a mobile device, such as an iPhone, make sure you have enough bandwidth. We advise using dedicated wi-fi or 4G.
  • If you are using an Android device, Apple iPad or iPhone you will need to click on the media play button to begin the presentation. Android and Apple iOS devices do not permit streams to begin automatically.
  • If you are using a PC or Mac please ensure that your browser zoom level is set to 100% as the presentation is best viewed at that setting. In most browsers you can use Ctrl + 0 to reset your zoom level. This option can be also be found in the tools or view menu.

What is a pop-up blocker and how do I disable it?

Pop-up blockers are software programs that stop unsolicited "pop-up" browser windows from launching automatically. These windows often feature advertisements that can be an annoyance to users trying to browse the Internet, however some features of the Webcast may make use of pop-up windows to deliver key functionality. Depending on the software progam you have installed you may be able to add the Web site URL to a list of permissible Web sites where pop-up windows are allowed. 

It is common to have one or more pop-up blockers that you may be unaware of. Most pop-up blockers reside either in the system tray (lower right hand corner of your screen by the clock) or as a toolbar in Internet Explorer (at the top of your browser, go to "View" and then "Toolbars"). These can be disabled in their options or preferences menus. (Common toolbars such as Google and Yahoo Companion have built in pop up blockers). 

Also, if you are unaware of any other pop-up blockers that are running on your computer, you may want to see if you have personal firewall software running, such as Norton’s Internet Security or ZoneAlarm. If you have either of these, they will also block pop-up windows. 

Where can I download the latest streaming media players?

– Adobe Flash (for viewing Application Demonstrations and Video Roll-ins) – http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

Where can I download the latest Internet browsers?

– Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 – http://www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-explorer/worldwide-sites.aspx

I occasionally hear a clicking noise during the presentation. How do I turn it off?

  • Windows 7 – Click on the Windows Start icon, then choose "Control Panel" > "Sound," > "Sounds" tab. Scroll down the "Program" menu until you reach "Start Navigation." Set the sound to [None] and click "OK." The clicking will be disabled.
  • Windows Vista – Click on the Windows Start icon, then choose "Control Panel" > "Sound," > "Sounds" tab. Scroll down the "Program" menu until you reach "Start Navigation." Set the sound to [None] and click "OK." The clicking will be disabled.

Why do I get a "connection failed" or "connection blocked" message when I try to view Adobe Flash streams?

In addition to having a properly installed Adobe Flash Player your pc must permit rtmp (over port 1935) and / or rtmpt (over port 80) live streaming protocols.
