Summary:

Generally, SCADA system is a centralized system which monitors and controls entire area. It is purely software package that is positioned on top of hardware. A supervisory system gathers data on the process and sends the commands control to the process. SCADA systems are used to monitor and control the equipment’s/machines in the industrial process which include manufacturing, production, development and fabrication.

Solution:

Challenges: Below are the current challenges in any industry may phase during production:

During machine breakout, it is taking lot of time to identify problem due to unavailability of data.
Data required for lean methods to find problem root cause.
Unable to trace sequence of activity’s performed during problem.
Manual entry of Production reports.
Limitation to the Trends & Alarms in current system.
Altering system not available incase of Problems.
Centralized Plant Monitoring System is Not available

Approach:

By considering current challenges we found a suitable solution, which can help to resolve problems we are facing i.e. by Introducing SCADA system with below mentioned approach.

1. Data Collection
2. Visualize your Industry
3. Make Smart Decision

Implementation:

We have Impleted a SCADA system which uses uses computers, networked data communications and graphical user interfaces for high-level process supervisory management, but uses other peripheral devices such as programmable logic controllers and discrete PID controllers to collect data.

The SCADA system allows operators to change the set point for the parmaeters, and enable alarm conditions in-case of loss of prameters such as flow, temperature, pressure etc., and the conditions is displayed and recorded. The SCADA system monitors the overall performance of the loop. The SCADA system is a centralized system to communicate with both wire and wireless technology to Clint devices. The SCADA system controls can run completely all kinds of industrial process.

Adantages:

• Safety of workers and equipment are increased through predefined processes managed by a SCADA system.
• Engineering costs, time and risk are reduced through easy integration with all your plant devices.
• Resources, such as people and plant assets, are optimized as SCADA promises high level control over the plant environment.
• Productivity is increased via analysis of processes used to improve plant and production efficiencies.
• Maintenance costs are reduced through centralized control and monitoring that minimize downtime.
• Quality is improved because the analysis of process data can result in preventing errors before they occur.
• Operators are more effective using SCADA because it consolidates the various plant processes and provides them with a comprehensive overview of operations.
• Alarms are centrally managed which improves operational effectiveness by not overwhelming operators unnecessarily.
• Integrating SCADA with an historian package and other business systems will connect the plant floor to the boardroom by sharing real-time and historical data.
• Mobility solutions provide operators with the freedom to observe operations first hand no matter where they are.
