Equipment Monitoring

In today’s modern world, Industry 4.0 pillars are forging new dimensions in Industrial automation. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) for Operational Technology (OT) [such as CNC, PLC, Embedded System and SCADA] can be securely controlled and monitored on land, in seas and oceans, in air and at space paving ways for sustainable operation.

The following example provides an overview of an online control and monitoring system for electrical power distribution transformers:

General Condition Monitoring Concept

The monitoring scheme uses Sensors Data sent to Servers (Distribution Company and Transformer Manufacturer) using IIoT and Cloud. The servers use GPUs to display the status of each transformer using Quality Assurance principles involving Digital Twinning and Data Analytics. The problematic transformers can be tracked and using ML tools their behavior can be predicted for physical salvage teams waiting to ratify any eventuality thus guaranteeing excellent service to customers.

4iR Technologies (Pvt.) Ltd. can also design and implement such monitoring and control schemes for other industrial systems. For details, please contact us using the following tab:
