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.
An increasing amount of equipment has been connected to the PRANA System, while the areas employing prognostics methods are expanding. The increase in the equipment fleet is driving us to search for the best software solutions that efficiently and quickly process the growing scope of information.
PRANA is the industry standard for prognostics and remote monitoring in Russia. The Yandex solutions, which set the quality standard in the global IT industry, will become an additional reliability assurance for PRANA, receiving more than 30 thousand parameters per second from industrial equipment control systems and using a data archive exceeding 50 TB.
“The speed and fault tolerance of Yandex ClickHouse will help the PRANA hardware-software package ensure extra safety in the operation of critical infrastructure equipment. We cannot allow failures in either the software or hardware part of the prognostics system, which Russia’s major power companies have come to rely on. Yandex ClickHouse completely covers our needs in terms of main data warehouse speed and thoroughly satisfies our analytical requirements, while its scalability to any volume without increasing data-processing time is exactly what we need in the course of the further extension of our prognostics system to new branches of industry,” said Igor Trudonoshin, Director of the PRANA System Software Development Department.
Nowadays, the largest companies successfully use Yandex ClickHouse. The market leaders made this choice for the following reasons: in addition to the high speed of data processing, one of the most important features that’s extremely relevant to the PRANA hardware-software package consists of the fact that Yandex ClickHouse services are designed so that even in case of the emergency shutdown of one of the data centers, they still remain in operating condition without degradation of their functionality. This feature of the Yandex solution is critical, given the need for round-the-clock and non-stop processing of large amounts of data received from electric power facilities and FEC in real time. Currently, PRANA monitors the technical condition of more than 130 pieces of sophisticated industrial equipment worth about USD 5 billion.
ROTEC JSC (https://zaorotec.ru) is a company that specializes in design and turnkey construction of complex power-engineering facilities and infrastructure, the development and commercial operation of the hardware-software analytic package for monitoring and predicting the condition of industrial equipment (PRANA system), the development and production of components for the aviation and power engineering applications, high-efficiency supercapacitor energy storage and accumulation systems, and also in manufacturing, retrofitting and maintaining basic energy equipment.
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.
