Representatives of OGK-2 PJSC visited ROTEC's Center for Forecasting and Remote Monitoring of Power Generating Equipment. Deputy General Director of Production and Chief Engineer Alexander Faustov, his deputy Oleg Ivanov as well as Head of STU and GTU Maintenance Department Igor Trofimov checked out the capabilities of the PRANA Forecasting System, which is able to detect the development of defects in connected equipment two-three months before their manifestation, i.e., to prevent emergency breakdowns.
Based on adaptive mathematical models, the PRANA System determines benchmark operational values for each specific device (gas or steam turbine, booster compressor, pump) and generates trends in changes in the technical condition of equipment. This enables quick localizing of defects at the earliest stages of their development, two-three months before they manifest themselves, i.e., before they lead to an emergency breakdown. Implementation of the PRANA System at power generation facilities ensures increased equipment reliability, reduced unplanned downtime, and, what is most important, avoids emergency breakdowns.
The PRANA Predictive Analytics and Remote Monitoring System has received another update of the operating system.
The industrial holding ROTEC JSC and Group-IB, one of the leading developers of solutions for detecting and preventing cyberattacks have entered into a cooperation agreement to ensure technological and cybersecurity of critical infrastructure facilities. The agreement was signed at the International Industrial Trade Fair Innoprom 2021 and will allow ACS and IS specialists of enterprises to observe and take proactive measures to prevent incidents caused both by service wear of equipment and as a result of cyberattacks.
The industrial Internet begins with the introduction of systems based on mutual penetration of information technologies and automation devices of manufacturing equipment, such as the systems of remote monitoring and diagnostics. One of the inspection methods of the equipment’s condition is its continuous monitoring, which is a necessary condition for the transition to a service system on the operating condition
According to Mikhail Lifshitz, Chairman of the Board of Directors of ROTEC, Russian power engineering company, the venture capital market in its present state is currently raising people whose aim is not to create a winning product, but just to raise funds. With regard to his business, Mr. Lifshitz abandoned the speculative component and headed for the long-term integration of ideas into production.
Despite the hazy weather and pouring rain, the yachtsmen were in a terrific mood! Three crews of racing yachts in Olympic Class SB20, mainly represented by employees of ROTEC, PRANA and TEEMP, took the whole winners podium in the amateur competition. For most of the participants, it was their first-ever experience of this kind – and they claimed victory straight away!
The trend towards digitalization and flourishing of the service economy have led to the emergence of a new model – Maintenance-as-a-Service. Let’s explore how it’s organized and the benefits that it offers to business.
The Internet of Things (IoT) integrates devices into a computer network and allows them to collect, analyze, process and transmit data to other facilities via software, applications or technical devices
