5 key benefits of the platform
- Pre-configured operating environment to build infrastructure connectivity over TCP/IP Stack
- Pre-configured environment for integration with industrial PLCs (SIEMENS, SCHNEIDER, etc.)
- Two-way PLC communication via established industry standard protocols (SIEMENS S7, OPC/UA, Modbus, MQTT)
- Data security and encryption
- 24/7 accessibility through a standard WEB browser
- User Authentication
- Personal Dashboard
- User friendly interface
- Well defined, clear indicators of working parameters
- Rapid performance and production reports
- Compatibility with all mobile devices
- Pre-configured logical pattern of "event" objects
- Dynamic definition of types of "events" depending on the specifics of the facility
- Dynamic definition of the main parameters of the object "event"
- Defining the behavior of the dataFRUIT platform when an "event“
- Notification to the user through all possible communication channels (e-mail, SMS, voice, etc.)
- Archive of occurring "events" and their grouping for analysis in the event of a trend
- Ability to choose a different approach to collecting and storing historical data
- Dynamically define a useful "time resolution" of data for their collection and storage, specifically for each monitored variable
- Provisioning of a specific set of historical data when analyzing events or trends
- Graphical data visualization with dynamic period selection
- Optimization of consumption and monitoring of consumed electrical energy
- Provisioning of means for a dynamic description of engineering recipes
- Means for creating logical interrelations and sequences for creating and applying engineering recipes
- Following and applying the recipe is based on the logical processing of historical data accumulated in the database
Sample recipes (for Hydro Power Plant)
- A tendency to increase vibrations, albeit without a limit
- Trending temperature rises, albeit without a limit
- Reduced time to reach normal operating temperature
- Reduced or increased inertia rotation time in a braking procedure
- Frequent start of hydraulic pumps
- Reach lower power at a given guiding apparatus position
- Achieving lower power at the same flow and pressure (reduced efficiency)
