Ascent Intellimation - Assets Management on Aggregation Platform by Integrating all Machines/ Equipm
Traditionally automation companies have provided solutions for discrete manufacturing companies by way of PLCs, HMIs and SCADA. However, most of these equipment and systems worked for individual machines and interconnectivity and interoperability was not given due importance. However, with the advent of IT in automation, customers have been demanding interoperable and interconnected systems. Pune headquartered Ascent Intellimation found this challenge to be a great opportunity and worked on building a scalable aggregator platform which can be used to integrate all systems and devices.
An ISO 9001:2008 company, Ascent was incorporated in 2000 by a team of professionals possessing over two decades of experience in industry. The company offers an IoT/ IIoT/ IoS platform named PlantConnect and offers several solutions based on this platform. An important element of the broader IIoT tools/technologies landscape; Plant Connect extends services for Cloud, Connectivity, Application Development and Big Data Analysis. “Plant Connect is designed such that it can be easily customized to various verticals, packing domain specific knowledge into the product.” states Dr. Arvind Tilak, CEO,
Ascent Intellimation.
Platform for Real Time Monitoring of All Facilities
To eliminate the chaos of individually monitoring and controlling several units, Ascent bestows manufacturing companies with SFactory that allows manufacturers to keep track of machine and system performance of several machines at one or more locations on one platform. Performance monitoring of machines, lines and processes by acquiring values of key parameters on line and in real time is the most important business driver of solution.
Apart from that SFactory enables predictive and condition based maintenance with mechanism to identify breakdown patterns and provide alerts before the breakdown occurs. “Historical reports of breakdown and maintenance activities aid in building patterns of failures and draw conclusions to prevent the breaches from happening in future.” adds Dr. Tilak.
Equipping senior management and key stakeholders to monitor various parameters of all facilities in real time and compare with bench marks, SFactory is a great tool in the hands of management to monitor and work on performance and quality related bottlenecks in real time.
Remote Assets Management solution (RAMS) from Ascent Intellimation is another game changing platform for machines, and equipment manufacturers. RAMS platform enables the machine manufacturers to acquire data in real time from all the machines working at various customer sites. By leveraging this data the manufacturers can provide extremely responsive and proactive support to their clients. In case of breakdowns, firms can carry out remote diagnostics and assists clients to up the machines
very quickly.
Future at Ascent Intellimation
With the concept of ‘edge technology’catching pace, Ascent being an IoT company works towards working with and on devices based on cutting-edge technologies. Currently serving verticals such as plastics and environment; Ascent plans at leveraging its platform- that can integrate with any equipment or hardware-to expand solution base to more verticals. Ascent pledges to continue being an enterprise ready system that can easily integrate with enterprise systems like Oracle, SAP and gather data for asset monitoring. Moving further, Ascent aims at working towards connecting more machines by using new technologies like Big Data, IoT or Cloud for better management of assets.
