ROTEC shares its experience with digitalizing facilities in the power industry at the Second International Energy Saving Forum in Astana

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

As of 2021, the PRANA hardware-software package is the first of the industrial systems for predictive analytics and remote monitoring to switch to the Russian analytical database management system Yandex ClickHouse.

Monitoring-and-diagnostics data (M&D) form the basis for determining the technical condition of high-voltage equipment and developing repair schedules for such equipment. World experience shows that from the economic standpoint, it is expedient to carry out such monitoring using the remote online monitoring of facilities. In this case, all generator assemblies can be monitored online. At present, the corresponding measuring base has been created for each component of a modern generator, which makes it possible to equip generators with sensors and systems for monitoring and diagnostics in any variation and package (in terms of control).

Predictive analytics and online IIoT surveillance systems respond to modern challenges

The introduction of a self-isolation regime, along with measures to prevent the rapid spread of coronavirus infection, has affected many businesses, and has brought some to a complete halt. However, IIoT solutions have revealed new opportunities for responding to the changing situation. The PRANA hardware and software complex has made it possible to minimize the negative consequences of the ongoing situation.

With the spread of the coronavirus epidemic, many employers are moving their employees to remote work. Those who are not yet ready for this move must comply with government instructions, which include cancelling mass gatherings and monitoring the health of employees. Top managers and owners of Russian companies tell us how they are managing to go on working in these new conditions without reducing the efficiency of their processes.

Almost three years ago, when the term “digitalization” was still perceived as a neologism in the Russian business lexicon, and the mass introduction of digital services, mainly imported ones, was just beginning in our domestic industry, the ROTEC JSC advancement – the Predictive Analytics and Remote Monitoring System PRANA – was registered in the Unified Register of Russian Programs.

Mikhail Lifshitz, Chairman of the Board of Directors of ROTEC, explains why he is against solar power plants, considers the real need for the in-house manufacture of high-capacity gas turbines in Russia, and points out the mistake of Elon Musk.
