1. Smart Manufacturing Suite
for the Sugar Industry

2. At-a-glance information on PLF on any device, anytime, anywhere
Introduction
Sustainable use of agro-based renewable resources like sugar cane demands the establishment of a complete
manufacturing value-chain comprising of sugar as well as other value-added by-products such as exportable power from
bagasse, alcohol and ethanol from molasses, biogas and bio-fertilizers from spent wash.
In a typical multi-plant operation setup, controlling losses and ensuring increased productivity is possible for an enterprise
only if relevant manufacturing information is available on any device, anytime, anywhere.
If you have a typical multi-plant sugar complex, EcoAxis' solution will help you control losses and ensure increased
productivity by making manufacturing information available to you on any device, anytime, anywhere - at your fingertips.
Manual and conventional logging of data is difficult to compile owing to the massive scale of data involved in the operations
of an integrated sugar complex. This calls for a Machine-to-Machine (M2M) based monitoring solution that tracks critical
parameters of operations and production output on a minute-by-minute basis – or even faster. This compilation is followed
by automated analytics and management of the plant through online reports, alerts – very much like internet banking.
How we can help you – EcoAxis solution
IoT based monitoring involves:
• Selecting parameters: Critical process parameters, equipment operations, run-hours, stoppages etc.
Intermediate & final products of production: cane crushed, juice, molasses, spent wash and bagasse, sugar and
power – produced, consumed, exported, ethanol production, utilities consumption etc.
• Consolidate data from automation systems through UDAN (Unified Data Access Network): Acquiring &
integrating data from DCS, PLC, instrumentation and sensors, etc.
• Configuring and deploying algorithms/alerts: Based on users’ roles & needs reports, dashboards, alerts etc. can
be developed.
Do you face these challenges?
• Enhance production and PLF (Plant Load Factor) while reducing losses.
• Ensure high plant availability in a seasonal crushing scenario through reduced break-downs, enhanced productivity,
reduced costs/losses, and improved quality.
• Optimize sugar recovery, water usage, power exports and energy usage.
• Limited access to top management for accessing shop floor data on any device, anytime, anywhere.
• Consolidate critical manufacturing data from a multitude of automation systems across the sugar complex (sugar,
distillery, co-gen and bio-gas) in a unified manner, which is crucial for technicians and operation managers to provide
effective interventions and support to avoid plant downtime.
• Linking agro-based information such as area under cane cultivation, area harvested and cane delivered, cane and sugar
yields etc., with production scheduling and manufacturing data in order to operate an integrated sugar complex in an
effective and efficient manner.

What can you achieve with IoT based continuous monitoring system?
• Ability to do in-depth analysis of production, productivity, availability and losses
• Ensuring increased production with high crushing through high mill capacity utilization.
• Optimal balance of sugar rendement (recovery) and sugar production on one hand and better production of alcohol
in distillery on another hand, by controlling imbibition water addition as per the business need.
• Better control over production cost by monitoring thermal energy and electrical energy consumption per ton of
cane crushed.
• Improve efficiency of multiple equipment across the
sugar complex and SMSs/alerts to be generated as
needed.
• Operational load patterns on mill electrical motors against cane preparation, imbibition water consumption
pattern in the sugar plant, and steam consumption pattern across sugar and distillery plants, are recorded
continuously.
• Improved availability and maintenance by controlling and effectively managing unscheduled stoppages.
• Other benefits
٥ Reduced travel to site
٥ Bringing in more accountability in operations
