Solution:
Knowledge Lens as a “Valued Partner in Progress” implemented Solution at Orient Cement Limited, Devapur. We interfaced the plant’s PLCs (Programmable Logic Controller) with in-built protocol support to perform real-time data acquisition of around 4000 parameters across 3 units totaling 9 PLCs to monitor the plant data, storage of historian data and provide dashboards.
The data was stored in a highly scalable big data platform which served as a unified storage repository, to perform monitoring and analytics.
Our solution facilitated the storage of large amounts of data for a longer period of time, and a mechanism to back up and synchronize data from Plant network to Corporate network in a secure manner.
