INGESOM implements a new production control system through the development of a SCADA and a web management application in the company GRES DE LA MANCHA SL, leading manufacturer of enameled ceramic material of high resistance, durability and low absorption located in Los Yébenes, Toledo.
The new SCADA replaces the previous software application and it monitors the production process of plants 2 and 3 of the factory, digitalizes most of the information that was previously introduced manually and centralizes it into a single management application. In this way it is possible to obtain multiple types of reports and graphs with the registered production data facilitating the decision making by the managers.
The production control system has a modern architecture that allows access from several devices with internet connection, such as a mobile, tablet or computer. So supervisors or managers can monitor the status of the factory from anywhere and in real time, increasing control and the ability to react to resolve any difficulty that may arise in the daily management of the factory.
The SCADA also registers and displays alarms, whether due to a fault detected where the resolution time used by the operators is reduced, or if they are preventive maintenance, which warns of those components that must be replaced. The correct planning of these preventive tasks minimizes downtime and also reduces the number of breakdowns by having greater control over all the equipment that ultimately contributes to improving the productivity of the plant.
The energy costs in ceramic production
In the ceramic industry, controlling energy costs is a key factor for the viability of any factory. In the current energy market situation, it is essential to have a tool that allows monitoring of the energy consumption of all machines and processes, in order to be able to know the energy cost of producing each […]
