Initiative name ID Provided by DT PMO | IT12287 - IoT Hub Secure 2023 |
Description of the initiative | The number of new IoT devices and sites managed on the IoT Hub is scaling quickly (+150 % devices/year) and this number is expected to continue to grow during the next years. Some critical points need to be completed to ensure the security and the stability of the IoT Hub platform. This initiative will focus on the top 3 priorities for 2023. A roadmap has been established with the product team for the next years as well. |

First, let´s start with the Problem space
1.1. Reason
* Why is this initiative proposed today?
The number of new IoT devices and sites managed by the IoT Hub is scaling quickly (+150 % of devices in one year) and this is expected to continue during the next years. Some critical points need to be completed to ensure the security and the stability of the IoT Hub platform and pave the way for future devices growth. |
1.2. Benefits
What are the new capabilities expected?
This initiative will focus on the top 3 priorities for 2023 :
|
What will it replace? Is it a new solution or an existing one?
| It consists in a set of new features and migration tasks on the existing IoT Hub application. |
1.3. Target users
Who are the future users?
IoT Hub is used by 7 GBU, both ECO and SCO and R&I on 36 sites. The changes will be available for all users. |
What is the number of users impacted?
| Approximately 150 users (technician, engineers, scientists in labs and plants) as well as GEC, Telecom and MES administrators |
What about the Business Needs?
1.4. Value proposition
What is the value of the initiative?
Ensuring the stability, security and prepare scalability on the IoT Hub which is mandatory to collect near to real-time data collection and enable Condition Based Monitoring and Predictive Maintenance use cases. |
1.5. Business goals
How does the product / deliverable align with the business goals?
| Reduce maintenance costs and improve safety by reducing the number of incidents and unplanned operations. |
1.6. Challenges
Are there any challenges in developing the product?
| Now that many site rely on the IoT Hub and have the means to purchase and add new sensors autonomously, we need to prepare the platform for further scalability. This needs to be started in 2023 to be ready after the Spin Off and avoid future service interruption. |
1.7. Business metrics
How will we measure success?
Reduction of time spent on manual tasks done as part of the application RUN Reduction of the cybersecurity risks analysis results |
1.8. Cybersecurity
Please duplicate this template in this folder. Then, for the envision phase, answer to the 7 high-level questions in the "Security Scoring" sheet. These questions will help the SIP team to determine the level of cybersecurity & compliance support you will need. Please contact the team by email: @SIP_team@solvay.com
| Done in Strategize phase directly |
1.9. Up to investment
Estimated Delivery phase start date*
| Estimated Delivered end Quarter* Q4 2023 |
What is the coherent money to commit on the initiative?*
| 2023 (in K€)* | 2024 (in K€)* | 2025 (in K€) | |
|---|---|---|---|
Estimated size of investment (high level) | 100 |
What is the coherent run and build commit on the initiative?
Estimated run costs (estimation high level) - on 10Y (if already known)
| Type of savings expected /year for DT (Ex: Contracts, FTE, ...)
|
1.10. Resources
What skills and talents do we need?
Flavio roberto Ianague diniz IAP leader, sponsor Thierno Gueye IAP Platform Architect Witekio team expertise on IoT Hub and Cloud infrastructure |
1.11. Methodology to apply (refer for Accolade)
Do you think if your initiative is compatible with a waterfall approachor with an agile approach?
|
If the initiative will be done in Agile methodology, please contact during the strategize phase Nicolas LOVAGNINI
Phase 2: Strategize
Do
- Identify portfolio epics and epics within each portfolio epics
- Create a document / slide / spreadsheet to build your epics and put a link in the brief
- Estimate experts and budget by portfolio epics or by increment
- Show SMART KPI (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound)
- Evaluate the impact on Solvay One Planet objectives
Don´t
- Identify squad resources (naming)
- Write user stories
Now, we can move on to the Solution space

2.3. Risk Analysis
What are the risks (refer to Risk analysis matrix in Accolade)?
2.3. Solvay One Planet Objectives
What is the qualitative assessment of Hardware/ Data processing/ Project’s contribution to Solvay One Planet?
- Is the business ambition you will support improving or not sustainability? → IoT data enables Condition based Monitoring and Predictive maintenance amongst other use cases. This will help to reduce the maintenance costs and improve safety by reducing the number of incidents and unplanned operations. - Will you increase or decrease the number of hardware we need to operate? How much ? → It will allow to manage an higher number of hardware (IIoT sensors) but they are selected by the GEC team to last 10 years - Will you generate or transfer an important amount of data, especially videos? How much? → IIoT data are very low consuming and this initiative will even optimize the storage |
