An overview of how the manufacturing industry is moving towards smart and intelligent technologies.
With greater influence of digitisation, robotics, etc., the Indian manufacturing landscape seems to be disrupted. According to Frost & Sullivan, in FY 2016, the Indian automation market (which includes DCS, PLC, HMI, SCADA, and Industrial Robots) was estimated at Rs. 40.28 billion. This market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.2 percent, 2016- 2021, with industrial robots expected to grow at a slightly higher rate. The report further suggests that Industry 4.0, will bring about an overall change in the Indian manufacturing ecosystem, with more and more companies acquiring automation solutions within their manufacturing processes.
Automation projects
Recently, the Kolkata-based Emami Group has placed an order with ABB for an automation and electrical system for a 2 MPTA greenfield plant in Odisha by Emami Cement. The company is setting up advanced and energy-efficient cement plants to meet the future demand of cement coming out of steadily rising infrastructure spend in the country. The solution implemented will minimise energy consumption and enhance the overall plant performance helping the plant support infrastructure growth in the region.
ABB will be undertaking complete project implementation including supply, erection, testing and commissioning for the electrical distribution and distributed control system (DCS). The 800xA DCS will help monitor, control and optimise the cement manufacturing process while maximising plant uptime. The electrical distribution system includes 220 kV switchyard with 20/25 MVA 220kV/11kV Transformer, 11 kV Board, Intelligent Motor Control Center, Distribution transformer, medium- and low- voltage capacitors and allied accessories.
