In the industrial environment, efficiency and agility are crucial. Imagine the production team adding new equipment to the current monitoring system. With traditional SCADA systems, this task can turn into a real nightmare, taking up to six months between request, budget, implementation and configuration of synoptic tables requiring specialized consultancy.
During this period, the company faces a series of challenges that could compromise its operation.
Complexity and Setup Time
Adding a measuring point to a traditional monitoring system is not an easy task and involves several steps, from remote equipment connectivity to TAG configuration and synoptic configuration, alarms and updating existing dashboards.
On average, a company can wait 3 to 6 months to complete the process, as most of the time it depends on licenses, specialized in-house and third-party labor, as well as, of course, additional costs.
The production process therefore operates under risks, subject to reduced operational efficiency and high costs. During this period, monitoring is unreliable, wasting valuable resources and increasing the risk of operational failures.
Consequences for the Company
The delay in configuring new equipment and functionalities generates a cascade of problems for the company. The operation may experience unforeseen events, which if not monitored, reduce the delivery capacity in accordance with the commitments made, affecting customer satisfaction and, ultimately, revenue.
The company faces additional costs for consultancy and repairs, while the lack of adequate monitoring increases the risk of failures and unexpected downtime. The company's competitiveness is compromised, making it difficult to respond quickly to market changes and customer demands.
The Impact on Production Engineering
For the production engineer, the situation is equally challenging. The need to set up a new monitoring point increases with the risk and responsibility for delays. Reliance on external consultants reduces your autonomy, making you less able to respond promptly to operational problems. If failures or stoppages occur during the configuration delay, the engineer will have to manage crises, coordinating repairs under intense pressure. Furthermore, he loses the main focus of his work on improving and innovating production, limiting his potential to contribute to the company's efficiency and growth.
The Danger of Undetected Faults
Imagine the scenario in which a critical machine in operation awaits the completion of the configuration of the supervisory system for the production line and operates without a system that can indicate problems remotely.
If these faults are not detected in time, the machine stops, affecting the production capacity of the entire process. The consequences are serious: the company loses production volume, faces high repair costs, and its revenue plummets. The company's reputation suffers, and dissatisfied customers begin to question the reliability of deliveries.
The solution
There is only one way to solve the problem. You need a solution with a system that includes the following characteristics:
- Quick and intuitive drag and drop configuration;
- Connection to any type of machine, sensor or system;
- Proactive configurable notification system;
- If necessary, integrable with SCADA systems.
