Utilities Web Server

Date: 2023-05-28

After successful delivery of SCADA to one of the largest pharmaceutical companies last year in June. IMSI will deliver a bespoke IIOT solution for the same project. Last year IMSI UK delivered utilities SCADA to one of the largest pharmaceutical companies. This year, as an extension of the same project IMSI deployed and deployed a web server to mimic the same SCADA system. Web server is designed using python Flask web framework, with Socket-IO to enable real time data update. Web server is deployed on Linux server using multiple docker containers and nginx as reverse proxy server. The data from two S7-1214C PLC is gathered using bespoke desktop application developed by IMSI UK. The data is then sent across internet using secure MQTT connection to the webserver which then displays it on a webpage. Webserver has been configured with different access levels to control user access. Web server invokes email notifications to selective users for certain status of the system.


iPSDB 1.0 launch

Date: 2023-02-06

IMSI LTD managing director Rohan Potdar launches IMSI’s first product, iPSDB 1.0 on 6th February 2023. iPSDB 1.0 is a web application and it stands for an industrial process software and documentation builder for industries where process automation is required. It builds PLC software for control logix PLCs of Rockwell automation, HMI/SCADA datalogs and alarms for both FTView ME and SE applications, you can also download ME and SE global object models that work with the PLC software to get you started with HMI/SCADA development easily and quickly. The application also builds engineering documentation, for example functional design specifications (FDS), alarms test schedules, and IO test schedules. Irrespective of the industrial segment whether food and beverage, water, oil and gas, pharmaceutical and HVAC etc., the information required to build an automation software for any industrial processes is categoric in nature. There are methods in place to execute this information to built the software. "If its methodical then it can be automated!", this is the philosophy behind this application. The application builds the PLC software based on physical model of ISA-S88.01 software architecture standard and guidelines of IEC 61131-3 software standard.


Utilities SCADA

Date: 2022-06-30

IMSI UK successfully delivered utilities SCADA to one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world. The main goal of the system is to collect energy consumption data from various parts of the factory and summarize it in a report for analysis, log the data and do the costing as per company standard. System is designed to collect data from 10 areas on site using over 60 measuring points. Reports are generated to show yearly, monthly, and daily consumption of various energy sources on site along with costing. 3 access levels are provided to control user access based on the role. In future this system will be deployed on a web server to have ability to access the resources utilisation remotely over internet. Data acquisition is achieved using two Siemens S7-1214C PLC and WinCC SCADA. Distributed IO over Modbus TCP is used for data collection.
