A Smart Decision Pays Big Dividends

Case Study – BW Integrated Systems

BW Integrated Systems

Why Wait When You Can Innovate with Us?

Streamfeeder, by BW Integrated Systems, is known for its rugged, dependable, and versatile feeding solutions. When the components on their best-selling feeder were being obsoleted, they began looking for servo and PLC replacements.

Their footprint for the new IT 1250 Friction Feeder was pretty small. Paul Swanson, Software Controls Engineer at BW Integrated Systems, says, “That’s what got us to make the move to a Mitsubishi Electric servo. They have a lot of compact gear that packs a lot of performance into a small package.” They decided to go with the Mitsubishi Electric MR-J4-B Servo Drive.

Then Tom Schrauth, Senior Sales Engineer at Mitsubishi Electric, said, “If the entire control cabinet was Mitsubishi Electric, you’d have a better, smarter, more innovative and profitable feeder.” Paul agreed and BW Integrated Systems decided to go with a Mitsubishi Electric FX5U PLC and HMI too.

Engineered to Deliver More

Because the entire control system is made up of advanced Mitsubishi Electric components, Streamfeeder was able to do more than increase torque and performance. The new feeder also delivers a wealth of new capabilities, including:

WiFi connectivity – A production manager can be in his office, at home or on the road and still see what’s going on with the feeder at any given time. Operators can set up, adjust and troubleshoot the feeder anywhere on the production line — from a phone, tablet or laptop. That means throughput, downtime and runtime decisions can be made more quickly.
Job library – Companies can store job parameters for faster setups. Operators don’t have to look up jobs, re-enter parameters or worry about making a mistake. They simply select a job name and push a button. All the job parameters are automatically set from a control standpoint. Paul says, “It’s a big time-saver during changeovers.”
Real-time diagnostics – Management, operators and maintenance personnel can efficiently track productivity, quality and efficiency in real time. Paul says, “You can open up a report, see how far along the job is and how fast the system is running. Then if all of a sudden, performance drops a bit, you know something’s going on.”
Preventive maintenance – The system tracks cycles and reminds users to perform specific tasks such as replacing the belts. Maintenance personnel can perform diagnostics and look at performance over the past hour, shift, day or year. The new feeder also makes predictive maintenance attainable in the future because it’s a smart machine.

The decision to do more than simply update the system is paying big dividends. By building it better, Streamfeeder was able to leapfrog the competition. Paul says, “A lot of it wasn’t driven by actual market demand now. We’re just trying to look to the future to see where market demand is going.”

The next step is collateral control. This will bring error reporting and orchestration to their customers. The goal is to get machines talking to each other. Doug Schulz, National Sales Manager for the Streamfeeder product line, says, “This will be a big help to customers who have more than one feeder in their shops.”

The Power of One: Quality, Performance, and Compatibility.

During the re-engineering process, Paul Swanson, Software Controls engine,r says, “We knew that if we made this all Mitsubishi Electric, we’d have better control of the feeder itself. Interface improvements would increase speed and accuracy, and it would be easier to program. We’d also have less holding pressure on the product, which in some cases can leave marks.”

Maintenance is streamlined too. Paul says, “Why mix components? If we can get the cost-effectiveness from Mitsubishi Electric, there’s no reason not to. Why have such a large inventory of different parts?” Doug says, “We sell equipment all over the world. Because the machine’s components are all manufactured by Mitsubishi Electric, they’re available all around the world. We know this machine can be supported everywhere we are.”

The backwards compatibility is huge as well. “We’ve had other companies we worked with that were constantly changing products on us, so we had to change our design. Mitsubishi Electric has been very good about stabilising their product line.”

Empowering Retail with Energy Intelligence: Adroit Technologies Lighting the Way to Sustainable Savings for Retail Outlets

Retail and Energy Management in Retail using IIOT

Adroit Technologies was approached by Energy Capital to design, engineer, and deliver an asset and energy reduction solution to one of the largest retail outlets. The basis is that retail owners know very little about energy, but it makes up a great portion of the overhead of the business, and cost pressures require an innovative approach to be able to continuously reduce and manage these costs.

The business requirements were that the system needed to:

Monitor the asset base to assist in changing behaviour to reduce energy consumption
To be cloud-based as the retail management does not have the skills to maintain an on-premise SCADA system.
To be able to allow KPI’s to be measured across various retail outlets regards energy performance
Each site is different, and the system needs to be flexible to be rolled out over various sites.

Sasol Gas, South Africa

Sasol Gas markets both natural and methane-rich gas, which are transported via a pipeline network to end-users.
It operates and maintains a gas supply network through 2,500km of pipeline, including the 865km cross-border pipeline linking the gas fields in Mozambique to the Sasol Gas network in South Africa.

The Sasol Slurry Phase Distillate Process TM (SPD) is at the core of Sasol’s GTL (gas-to-liquid) technology.

The three-stage process combines three leading proprietary technologies. Natural gas is combined with oxygen to form a syngas, which is then subjected to a Fischer-Tropsch conversion, resulting in waxy Syncrude, which is then finally cracked down to produce the end product.

Saldanha Steel, South Africa

Saldanha Steel is a South African steel company which was originally formed as a partnership between Iscor Limited and the Industrial Development Corporation (IDC). Saldanha Steel is part of Mittal Steel South Africa which in turn is part of the global steel company Arcelor-Mittal. Saldanha Steel, an ultra-modern, instrument intense, 24/7 steel processing plant relies on the Adroit SCADA HMI to monitor operational pipeline consumption, environmental data and plant emissions.

Saldanha Steel is a compilation of four plants, each with its own consumptions and processing functions, namely the Iron making plant, the Steel making plant, the Caster and the Mill. In order to visualize the plant’s total operations and monitor expensive consumptions, Saldanha Steel installed a stand-alone Adroit SCADA HMI as its Central Monitoring System (CMS) with a server located at the Meltshop and an interface workstation located at the Central Services Monitoring Room.

Debswana Damtshaa Mine, Botswana

Debswana is the world’s largest diamond producer by value. The company has operations at Jwaneng, Orapa, Letlhakane and Damtshaa. The main purpose of Debswana is to mine and recover gem and industrial diamonds. Although Debswana uses the most up-to-date technology to carry out its business, it is The technology, the people it employs and the skills they bring that make Debswana a successful operation.

The Damtshaa diamond mine is a diamond mine located in Botswana about 220 kilometres (140 miles) west of Francistown. Damtshaa is of open pit construction, located on top of four distinct kimberlite pipes of varying ore grades. The mine is forecast to produce about 5 million carats (1,000 kg) of diamond from 39 million tons of ore over the projected 31-year life of the mine. Adroit products are used for the control and monitoring of the ore crushers and ore delivery systems.
