Overview: Essar Steel is a global integrated steel producer with an annual capacity of 14 million tons with a strong presence in intensive steel consuming markets of Asia and North America. Essar Steel India is an integrated steel producer with an annual production capacity of 10 million tons. Essar Steel’s manufacturing facility comprises ore beneficiation, pellet making, iron making, steel making, and downstream facilities including cold rolling mill, galvanising, pre-coated facility, steel processing facility, extra wide plate mill and a pipe mill. The steel plant located at Hazira has modern infrastructure like a power plant and a port that can handle 30 million ton cargo annually.

Challenges:

Essar Steel wanted to translate the real time production details into visual indication at production area from their SCADA server. This real time visual indication of production will help reduce delay and enhance the productivity.

Solution:

Compucare with its expertise was able to rise up to the challenge of Essar Steel by integrating their SCADA Server with LED Message Display Board. Ten LED Message Display Board’s has been implemented in the production area. Each LED Message Display Board to display the real time production of a particular department. The supplied LED Message Sign Boards are single sided with bright RED LED display, the display boards are clearly visible from an optimum distance of 10 meters and is designed to suit their factory condition.

How LED Message Board Solution for Real Time Dynamic Production is achieved?

The real time production data arrives at the SCADA Server for each production department.

The real time production data is fetched from the SCADA Server and pushed to the LED Message Display Board software at the backend.

The New production data is displayed in corresponding LED Message Display Board in the production area from centrally managed LED software via TCP/IP line.

Automatic query is run to fetch the production data from the SCADA server periodically. The fetched data is then updated periodically on the LED Message Display Boards in the

production area.

Conclusion:

Thus providing customized solution for integrating the SCADA Server and LED Message Display Board and there by automating the process of updating the real time Production data, department wise. This real time visual indication of production data has helped reduce delay and enhance the productivity.
