What is Industrial Automation

Bridging the GAPS of your organization with Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning & IOT…

Industrial automation is a very broad term that includes all those technologies and methodologies that allow repetitive tasks to be done automatically, either with or without the interaction of an operator.

Advantages of Industrial Automation

Productivity improvement

Industrial automation allows greater continuity in production processes. It also allows to maximize the daily and annual useful hours, being able to produce every day of the year 24 hours a day. This allows for greater productivity and competitiveness.

Quality improvement

The control and visualization of parameters in real time, the visualization of the pieces thanks to the computer vision cameras and other intelligent control processes allow higher quality throughout the production line.

Information Gathering

Another interesting aspect of automation is the possibility of collecting a large amount of information from the elements that make up the stations and machines. This allows us to improve preventive maintenance when we see that certain parameters affect the process. It also allows to reduce rejects and improve the efficiency of the line.

Operation cost more competitive

Industrial automation reduces operating costs for all the previously mentioned advantages: waste reduction, quality improvement and productivity improvement.

Security

Thanks to automation, we achieve safer production processes for people by freeing them from tasks that can be dangerous or compromised and that can cause physical wear and tear and / or injuries

TECHNOLOGY BRINK

IOT (Internet of Things)

The Internet of Things is the network of physical objects that contain embedded technology to communicate and sense or interact with their internal states or the external environment (Gartner’s definition)

Application: In industry, IOT enables to know and control those areas where human intervention had been a compulsion till date. Automation leads to zero error possibility along with consistent monitoring leading to better productivity.

Essentially driving for Data Driven Optimization, Digital Transformation & Innovation in Business Model.

Machine Learning

Application

Production Line – Increased Volume.
Asset performance Management.
Engineering and Finance Data Optimization.
Innovating and enhancing product /service quality.
Enable better conditioned monitoring – Integration of Sensors allow monitoring of data related to operating parameters like Oil Pressure, Gas Pressure etc.

Case Studies

Eradicating Human Intervention in Production Line

In one of the leading soap manufacturing units of India, the production lead wanted to eradicate human intervention in removing defective batches of soap from a running conveyor of production line. Using cameras at the junctures of soap stamping, images of perfect batches of soap were collected and fed to a software. Machine Learning algorithm started learning the attributes of correct and incorrect soaps. The System started identifying on its own the defective batches as soon as they were stamped in the production line. Within a few milliseconds it sends a signal to the PLC that removes the defective batches from the conveyor.

Real Time Data on Storage Tank Chemical Inventory

In a Chemical Factory, the production Manager had a real head ache regarding the stock of different chemicals in different overhead tanks. Often due to improper monitoring, production got hampered. We implemented IOT application and assisted the production team to have live data about the stock of chemicals in the overhead tanks. It is now quite a simple process to order their purchase and maintain stock so that production is not hampered.

Live Data of Temperature in different zones of a COLD STORAGE

A big Cold storage suffered decomposition of material at different zone due to improper cooling. The Manager found it quite impossible to track when and which cooler is malfunctioning. Using IOT enabled temperature sensors we successfully informed the temperatures of different zones so that the manager can take adequate action to replace or repair the cooler and prevent decomposition of stock.
