Advancing Operational Excellence in the Rubber Chemical Sector

Brabo’s Role in Realizing Business Goals

Brabo’s introduction marked a turning point in manufacturing operations:

 

Client Profile

A leader in the rubber chemicals sector with a distinguished legacy spanning over four decades has solidified its position as a benchmark of technical prowess and client-focused services in the chemical industry. Celebrated for supplying high-quality products on a global scale, this prominent manufacturer in India has carved out a significant market share in the Rubber Chemicals sector, thereby establishing the industry standard.

With its state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities and a steadfast commitment to green chemistry, its operations epitomize manufacturing excellence, extending its prestigious export footprint across continents.

Their Digital Transformation journey, initiated with the integration of Solulever’s Brabo Factory Cloud Platform, represents not merely an upgrade but a foundational shift in their operational ethos.

 

Business Objectives

Challenges: The company had set steep improvement objectives in the area of “Critical Equipment Efficiency”. The existing setups did not allow the company to have real-time visibility into important operational variables like energy consumption. Further, there was a burning need for equipment monitoring, data-driven decision-making, and proactive asset management around critical shop-floor equipment.

Objectives: Brabo was introduced to meet these business objectives. The program’s objectives focused on real-time efficiency monitoring, comprehensive parameter monitoring, and implementing advanced control mechanics. The goal was set to drive towards better streamlined, more efficient, and more sustainable manufacturing operations.

 

Digitalization Journey Objectives

Efficiently addressing these critical business objectives, the program marked significant milestones:

  1. Critical Equipment Inefficiency: A lack of insight into fuel consumption, heat derivations, and combustion efficiency led to heightened energy consumption and emissions, undermining operational reliability.
  2. Enhancement of Real-Time Analysis: The lack of real-time data impeded proactive decision-making, resulting in environmental, energy, and cost inefficiencies.
  3. Heat Loss Calculations: Without precise calculations, they grappled with increased fuel consumption and process variability, impacting overall energy efficiency and process reliability.
  4. Legacy Operational Resilience: The absence of data-driven sustainability initiatives led to inefficient resource utilization, hindering their growth and innovation potential.

 

Business Impact

Brabo’s implementation led to transformative changes:

  1. Reduced Downtime and Breakdowns: Brabo’s intelligence led to a significant reduction in equipment downtime and breakdowns, enhancing overall productivity.
  2. Improved Efficiency and Maintenance Cost Reduction: The platform’s insights contribute to improved operational efficiency and lower maintenance costs.
  3. Operational Transparency and Enhanced Decision-Making: With Brabo, decision-making is now more data-driven, leading to increased operational transparency and efficiency.
  4. Strategic Benchmarking: Establishing benchmarks for efficiency and tracking progress over time.
  5. Data-Driven Excellence: Brabo has empowered them with deeper operational transparency and data-driven decision-making, further enhancing efficiency and strategic clarity.
  6. Energy Savings: The platform’s monitoring and control capabilities led to more efficient operations, reducing energy consumption and fuel costs.

European Media features Solulever’s “Benefits of Industry 4.0” as its Top Rated

 

Industry 4.0 is the latest, “smart” trend in the manufacturing industry. By combining data exchange and automation, manufacturing processes can be optimized. But to deliver on the promise of faster, cheaper, more efficient production, more is needed.

The promise of Industry 4.0 is that by using digital technologies and a good understanding of production processes, these operations can be optimized. The practice proves more recalcitrant. Not all machines and computers are made to talk to each other, let alone understand each other.

“At least a third of the time and budget for an average Industry 4.0 transformation,” says Jitesh Kohli, founder and CEO of Solulever, “goes into making the integration and correct exchange of data. Another quarter is spent on customizing the platform and getting it working within different factories.”

“Industry 4.0 has the potential to revolutionize the production process,” Kohli is convinced, “but the fact remains that there are many technical complexities.” Our solution, according to Kohli, is a manufacturing connectivity and intelligence platform that integrates data from production and IT systems, and where edge and cloud computing reinforce each other.

“There is a good combination of edge, fog and cloud computing. Edge and fog computing provides real-time analytics, while cloud computing enables cross-plant analytics. On top of that, the platform is specifically designed for the manufacturing industry.”

This removes the main objections manufacturers have in advance, such as, Industry 4.0 is too expensive and the time to value is too long. This single platform solves the complexities between OT and IT. It is flexible enough to offer different solutions for different production facilities. As a result, the time to value is short. With this platform, you get the most out of the benefits Industry 4.0 has to offer.

Chem 4.0 simplified with open architecture platform

What can Industry 4.0 Platforms do for The Chemical Industry?

The developers can also use the data in real-time to deliver mission-critical use-cases with lightning speed and accurate analysis, thus preventing the companies from investing in expensive cloud-heavy platforms.

Organizations focused on enhancing their business operations can use the technology to improve their overall productivity and reduce potential risks. While it can also be used to generate new revenue streams for enterprises aiming to achieve non-linear growth.

“Brabo, a platform of platforms, developed by a European technology company, Solulever, aims to reduce the OT-IT costs for the plants by at least 30% with a quick value realization within a period of 6 to 9 months.”

Chemical plants can increase their productivity through smart manufacturing techniques such as process control, predictive asset management, product simulations, and connected worker solutions focusing on the empowerment of operations & creating a paperless shop floor.

Brabo lets you model your entire manufacturing site on a Digital Asset Family Framework to visualize asset utilization & critical asset KPIs. It also performs real-time anomaly detection. It has preconfigured chemical manufacturing asset templates for common equipment such as reactors.

However, enhancing the productivity and efficiency of the plant, comes at a cost as companies need to invest in technologically advanced infrastructure to support their operations, manage huge datasets and provide real-time data for analytics.

Its GUI is based on a no-code platform, making it easy for even the non-technical members of the plant to create site models & asset dashboards to run the operations seamlessly.

 

Brabo, The Edge Platform For Your Chemical Plants

Being an open architecture platform, it provides businesses with the flexibility to purchase the hardware and software solutions specifically suited to their business, saving them from making unnecessary investments into middleware, ESBs, historians, gateways, SCADA systems, etc.
