Industry : GSE Manufacturing

Solution: Platform as a Service (PaaS)

Client

Client is one of the leading manufacturers of Aviation ground support equipment, such as manufacturing power generators, airport tractors & various power units in India . The client designs & manufactures various different models of their own electronic devices to monitor and measure key parameters and activities of their equipments.

Business Need

Client’s major obstacle was to monitor in real time their various ground support equipments location information, key 60+ critical parameters and faults. Even though the client manufacturers customized electronic hardware to adapt to each type of their ground service equipment, they were handicapped by the inability to view information in real time, immediate intelligent data analysis & reporting for decision making was also not available. This led to delays in deploying their service teams for any maintenance and also risks more wear and tear to their ground service equipments in case of any faults.

Solution Implementation

The technical challenge faced with this client was that they had various types of GPS based data acquisition devices. Trinetra designed a device management layer and framed a protocol based on required footprint for each machines for the various devices that the client was deploying so that uniformity can be maintained across devices. The client was then provided with Trinetra tSense PaaS (Platform as a Service) Solution, customized on top of the existing Trinetra Product framework and this enabled the client to use the software application without changing their existing hardware devices. A mobile app on Android and iOS was also developed for their needs.

• Platform to monitor various types of assets
• Reusability of existing hardware
• Faster time for overall deployment
• Future Proof Technology
• Fault Notifications in real time
• Improved Customer Service
• Maximized Productivity
• Reduced Operational Costs

A study has found that by the year 2050 approximately 20% of the world’s population would be living in cities. However, this rapid growth will cause strain on the existing infrastructure. To solve problems of increased demand from new cities, city authorities around the globe are looking at the Internet of Things (IoT) for innovative ways to enhance services, communication, interaction and reduce costs. IoT has the potential to improve urban living by providing the top three IOT applications for making a smart city.

Smart Parking

Smart parking solution uses the help of GPS-enabled data sourced via smartphones of vehicle drivers to determine available or occupied parking spaces and to create a real-time parking map. Drivers get notified of the nearest parking slot available, through their smartphones and use the map on it to find the spot easily, quickly in real-time.

Intelligent Waste Management

To optimise on garbage/waste collection, smart city solutions use IoT tech to track waste levels as well as use operational and optimisation analytics. Sensors fixed on waste bins or containers sense the level of waste inside and once it reaches close to a threshold, the sensor of the waste management solution records data, processes it and sends a notification to a mobile app on the truck driver’s phone. The driver gets to empty only full containers on a collection run, instead of semi-filled ones.

Intelligent Street Lighting

Modern cities make use of IoT-tech to maintain and control street lighting or lamps straightforward and cost-effectively. A cloud management solution helps to adapt light scheduling of lighting zones, using sensors fitted on streetlights.

Trinetra’s T-Sense solution empowers you to reduce cost and maximise utilisation of your various systems, via inter connectivity, leveraging the internet and wireless technologies. This web-based software solution is, with mobile app integration, can cut costs and improve efficiency.

Client

The client is the world’s leading solution provider of high frequency & conventional high voltage rectifier transformer sets that are deployed for clean air applications. They design & manufacture different models of their own transformer rectifiers with control panels for Electrostatic precipitator to reduce the pollution content & emission in power plants in India

Business Requirement

Client being an Own Equipment Manufacturer has a very large number of High Voltage Rectifiers equipment installed at various sites all over India as well as in other countries. Sudden faults in the ESPs & TR (Transformer Rectifier) will cause the whole unit to shut down (Productivity loss of plant) and it takes few days to start the unit again. With a large install base, at various sites it has become very essential that the services/service visits need to be arranged on time or even before by predicting/forecasting the possible problem/fault occurred. The ideal solution would be the client should look for a solution to monitor the real time working status of the rectifiers and able to predict the failures. Besides all this they were also looking for solutions to understand the actual working on their products

Trinetra Solution

The key to any solution is to understand the customer’s requirements and expectations. Trinetra follows this methodology of being customer centric. Trinetra, with the objective of becoming one of the leading provider of IoT Solutions took up this complex requirement with a great deal of system study & design followed by mapping the requirement to it’s robust & modular product framework. As per the present scenario, advanced planning of service visit or forecasting a problem will be possible only if the service manager gets the information in advance, about the site data/conditions in real time. This was achieved by using Trinetra IoT device for each customer asset or for a collection of customer assets focusing on data value.  The IoT device was customized and configured to adapt to the protocols of the customer assets and collected a number of critical parameters in real time. The customer was able to view all the data of their assets across the country from a centralized location. Valuable insights and fault related info was received in real time allowing for appropriate spares to be organized and service person alerted to be scheduled in a more streamlined manner to the respective region. Service managers were also provided with an efficient mobile application along with the portal so as to have a complete insight over the Transformer rectifiers/high voltage rectifiers throughout the day even when they are on the move. They monitor around 1000+ critical parameters at the same time. Trinetra’s advanced report module also helped the client to get intelligent report of performance and fault patterns which can also be scheduled with frequency for receiving to various stakeholder’s email.

Some of the key features which proves to be a value added solution to the client are:

• Dashboard – Quick snapshot on Reporting, Alarm and Warranty status of whole ESP, TR and HVR in data & graphical format
• Trend Analysis – Assess patterns and performance of the HVR based on important parameters for a complete month. Very useful for forecasting possible problems/faults in HVRs
• History – Detailed view for a max of 50 parameters for each HVRs in different time interval
• Alarms – Action upon all faults and enables smart decision making
• VI Curve – Intelligent method to check the performance of particular rectifier transformer
• Mobile App – On the Move access to data using the Mobile app (Android and iOS)

Benefits

• Real time updates of alerts and critical information
• Remote diagnostic monitoring of the customer assets
• Access to intelligent info & patterns for decision making and performance fine tuning
