#Frugal engineering and value #innovation are serving as a source of #sustainable competitive advantage for our Khordha factory in #Odisha. The electrical team at the factory has developed an in-house centralized information system from scratch.

This system generally requires huge investments and complex third-party surveys to administer.

The Khordha factory sees a demand of 5.8 MW of power at any given point in time. Spread over an area of 37 acres means that the factory has nearly 600 touchpoints capturing the energy

readings for different parts of the factory. The maintenance team would traditionally walk the length and breadth of the premises to track the amount of energy being used by different units of the factory.

In the process, they would also try to determine areas to optimize the energy consumption in the factory.

To solve these challenges, the team developed a system architecture that now enables them to gather data in real-time from remote locations to control equipment and

conditions. A perfect combination of automation and manual intervention, this system now allows the team to remotely solve issues such as power failure, determine the root cause of any glitch in the processes and

optimize the time and cost for the manual resources that can focus on other important aspects of factory operations and maintenance.

Steadfast on the #Kaizen principle, the team continues to work on enhancing the system and

plans to bring more optimisation by measuring the efficiencies of the production lines.
