The Challenge
Ready-mix concrete batching plant with seasonal demand 6,000 to 12,000 cu.metre per month.
Batch-cycle records for each truck is stored in paper format. 1000 to 2000 truck loads per month, generating ~2000 to 6000 paper records.
QC anomaly detection in chemical batch-mixing is manual & time consuming.
About The Customer
Ready mix concrete batch-mixing plant
The Solution
Dataranya installed a non-invasive system to track batch-processing 24x7, in real-time & remotely.
Pattern recognition algorithms deployed to capture cycle time, batch volume, truck count and daily production apart from digitalising QC logs.

Smart Water Filtration Systems
Before working with Ayla Networks, Ozner was already using cloud connectivity to identify and solve water-filtration system malfunctions as well as to monitor filter cartridges for replacements.But, in June 2015, Ozner executives talked with Ayla about how the company might further improve its water systems with IoT technology. They liked what they heard from Ayla, but the executives needed to be sure that Ayla’s Agile IoT Platform provided the security and reliability Ozner required.

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers
For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.
