How To Sabotage Your Automation Initiatives

The Achilles Heel of automation is… dependencies.

Are you familiar with Rube Goldberg inventions? A Rube Goldberg invention is an overly complex way to accomplish a simple task. The picture illustrates one example.

In the real world, automation has unintentionally been the source of inspiration for many overly complex systems.

Can we do this faster? Can we do it cheaper? Can we do it with fewer employees? Those are all great questions. The answer, often enough, is “Automate it!”

Automation is not a synonym for simplicity. That is such an important statement, I’m going to say it again: automation is not a synonym for simplicity.

Quote me. Put that all over the Internet, and in your next PowerPoint presentation:

“Automation is not a synonym for simplicity.”
–Bob Young, April 19, 2023

In fact, #automation often adds complexity to a system. And further, automation sometimes exchanges an old problem for a new one.

This is where we start getting into the real topic here, which is dependencies.

We solve the new problem with another automated system. The new system has its own problems, which we again try to solve with automation.

The engineer who solves a problem by adding dependencies is not a Clever Engineer, but rather, an Engineer Who Builds Fragile Systems.

Dependencies do the following:
1) Introduce more points of failure
2) Reduce Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF)
3) Make troubleshooting harder
4) Increase the length of downtime incidents
5) Increase time and complexity of operator training

In software engineering, fixing a dependency problem is sometimes done by adding another dependency. This is not the way.

The same thing happens in #IIoT systems. Yes, nested feedback loops are sometimes necessary in process control. But…

For both hardware and software systems, proceed with caution. Ask yourself, “Am I creating a new dependency? Is there a way to solve this problem without creating a new dependency? Can I reduce the number of dependencies in this system?”

A picture taken from inside through a glass door. Standing on a gray deck is a deer — a young buck who has dropped its antlers. The deer is turning away from looking inside the door. There are brown wood railings to either side of the deer, and to the side of unseen steps into the backyard. To the left of the deer on the deck is another deer, peering through the lower part of railings. Past the deer are bird feeders, trees and bushes. The day is grey and rainy, bent tree limbs are evocative of heavy winds.

Gateway vs Gateway-less Industrial IoT considerations.

Hopefully, this post will help you choose the proper architecture for your specific case.

While @czds and I were preheating the oven and shaping the bread [Moon’n’Stars] pictured below, our watches buzzed with a notice from the range that there was a problem. The screen on the range showed an error code. Second try passed. Smart Diagnostics showed that the “heater” failed but all else, including “etc” passed.#IoT #IIoT #SensorAnalyticsEcosystem #SensAE not even much of a monitoring #DigitalTwins let alone causal digital twin #CDT #SmartHome #IoTPL #IoTCL

Two loaves of browned bread, shaped as a crescent moon, and shattered with white sesame seeds, some char near each end. The open areas of the crescent face each other. The loaves rest in a grey cooking rack set atop a beige butcher block cutting board. There are red mahogany cabinets in the background.

Industrial Internet of Things in a nutshell:

1. factory sends data to the cloud
2. cloud analyze data to discover the logic
3. obtained logic is sent to the factory

That is an extremely simplified description, but in a nutshell, this is how the IIoT works.

The more data we transfer to the cloud, the more precise logic we can build.
Obtained logic is sent to the factory and is executed on the shop floor (this is known as edge processing).

The cycle continues.

A neighbor asked us to take a video of their roof using [ @czds ] Clarise’s drone, Ronzi. The deer were quite interested. I think they were hoping for a food delivery. #IoT #IIoT #SmartHome #SensorAnalyticsEcosystem #SensAE #IoTPL #IoTCL

An aerial shot from a small drone. In the foreground are tall grasses to the left and right, with a black gravel driveway between the grasses. The grass gives way too brown sand on the left and the lower part of a blue house can be seen. Standing in front of the house are five deer, looking up at the drone. Slightly to the right of center the black gravel driveway stops at a white concrete driveway, with a sidewalk going to the left and the parallel to the driveway. Standing in the driveway are two figures, one female, one male, both wearing royal blue coats. They look tiny from the drone’s perspective and you cannot see details of their faces. Both have black hair, though the male is balding. A four-point cane is in front of the female. Behind them is a white garage door and more blue of the house.

Indeed, and interestingly, in speaking to practicing and research physicians, they are still determining how to interpret these near continuous streams of data that they have never had before #IoT #IIoT #Healthcare #SensAE #DigitalTwins #IoTPL #IoTCL

Obviously we can’t experiment on a real clone of ourselves, but we can research different scenarios with a digital twin.

A domain-specific language for Waste Water Treatment Plants

The full potential of #DigitalTwins is achieved through layered multiple model types representing all aspects of the circular nature inherent to #SensorAnalyticsEcosystem #SensAE model types include deterministic, stochastic, Bayesian, graph and causal. The digital twins must connect and interact as do the physical twins, considering the physical, social and business processes as a flow of identities, energy, conversations, ideas, ideals and information

#IoT #IIoT#IoTPL #IoTCL

All of these considerations, privacy, transparency, security and convenience, and “publicly” as Leonard’s original point highlighted, and “confidentiality” as another commenter mentioned, must be in the architecture, specifications and architectural framework, implemented in the design, and assured through quality testing. #IoT #IIoT #SensorAnalyticsEcosystem #SensAE #IoTPL #IoTCL

https://IoTcommunity.NET/

Privacy, transparency, security and convenience must also be understood in the cultural, regulatory, economic, political and environmental regime in which the individuals, things and organizations exist. We must also recognize that everyone is an individual, not a demographic. Once, it was pointed out that the person we were talking with and their spouse had very similar backgrounds but very different views. #IoT #IIoT #SensorAnalyticsEcosystem #SensAE #IoTPL #IoTCL

https://IoTcommunity.NET/

Security is about protecting both the data and the choices made at all stages of collection, transport, storage/erasures and use of any data. Convenience is overarching; it must be convenient for an individual or thing to make those choices, to discover those goals, and to understand the protections. #IoT #IIoT #SensorAnalyticsEcosystem #SensAE #IoTPL #IoTCL

https://IoTcommunity.NET/

Privacy is about choice: the person or thing generating the data must be able to choose what and how those data are used and when — this might change over time. Transparency is about the organization, platform, app or thing providing an honest and open view into their goals for any data that might be collected. #IoT #IIoT #SensorAnalyticsEcosystem #SensAE #IoTPL #IoTCL

https://IoTcommunity.NET/

In our technical strategy advisories, we look at privacy, transparency, security and convenience. The first challenge is convincing people that this isn’t an optimization problem; you don’t trade one for another. #IoT #IIoT #SensorAnalyticsEcosystem #SensAE #IoTPL #IoTCL

https://IoTcommunity.NET/

So, an #introduction, eh?

I'm a recovering #engineer, former CTO, security researcher, and ex-regulator for #ICSsecurity. I'm now the Director of Cyber Risk at Dragos and I teach (and write) for #SANS.

I've had a lucky career-- I've testified before the US Congress and several federal agencies (as well as a few other countries abroad) and have helped hundreds of industrial organizations improve their #OT security. I've helped write a handful of international standards and I have some strong opinions on what "good" looks like for ICS/OT.

I'll usually write/present on:
#cyberrisk #metrics #technical #standards #engineering #safety #auditing #industrial #ICS #IIoT #governance
...and whatever strikes my fancy. My focus over the past 5-10 years has been more board-level, but I spent a large part of my career in a hard hat trying to fix (and break) industrial systems.

That said, if anyone asks me "what do you do for a living?" I usually avoid talking about myself and instead deviate to more important things... like living a healthy, happy life and helping others where I can.

Oh, and memes. I shitpost memes about how absurd our small community can be some times.

After months of dedicated work by a group of asset owners, product manufacturers and certification bodies, ISASecure® has published the IIoT certification (ICSA) scheme documents. This certification scheme is based on the ISA/IEC-62443 standards with additional requirements to cover connectivity with cloud and untrusted networks.

ICSA addresses product security characteristics and capabilities as well as supplier development practices for IIoT devices and IIoT gateways. Check out the documents, specifically the ICSA-311 and ISDLA-312 for the technical and secure development lifecylce requirements respectively (you'll need a free account to download documents):

And as a true #SensorAnalyticsEcosystem #SensAE the #DigitalTwin will interact with other digital twins using #IoT #IIoT to assess the ecological impact of your decisions #IoTPL #IoTCL

The attached “Digital Twin of You” was sent to me by a colleague not yet in this social graph.
