How Digital Transformation in Boiler Plants Improves Productivity and Minimizes Cost

1. Digitization to Improve Productivity & Reduce Cost in Boiler Plants As businesses adopt new technological solutions, customers expect more & to stay competitive, plants must adopt digitization with data conversion services.

2. Organizations in all industrial sectors need to evolve to address the changing business landscape. As organizations step into a new year, it is important than ever before to be digitally transformed. Just like any other industry, the manufacturing sector is also going through the digitization process. They are taking advantage of digital technology to improve efficiency and raise productivity. As facilities adopt new technological solutions, customers expect the next level of service. To stay competitive and to meet the rising demands of the customers, plants must seek the assistance of data conversion services to convert all vital paper documents into their digital format. This will reduce the time they spend on scoping, debating, scenario planning and testing new innovations. Digitization, if implemented correctly can turn a distracted organization into an agile and efficient organization that can that proactively anticipate issues and organize to prioritize and solve them before they escalate. It creates revenue, improves business performance (not just processes), solves problems that could not be solved before, empowers personnel and makes them more effective. It builds a culture with digital information at the core. Advantage of Digitization in Boiler Plants Digitization helps to standardize operations that facilitates the monitoring of energy consumption in real time and automating the daily and monthly reporting of boiler plant performance indicators. The operator can spend more time focusing on core tasks and save on-site operating costs. Digital tools can easily pinpoint whenever there is any malfunction in an energy producing equipment. It helps to easily identify and locate anomalies and this saves time and effort. With experience, the operational teams can figure out which settings yielded the best results and which boiler plant was more efficient than another. But nobody knows what impact a different setting can make. With digital tools and their computational powers, technicians can now cross-tabulate performance parameters and measure the influence of each. This helps to efficiently regulate boiler plants. A new equipment is chosen based on its theoretical performance. But there is no assurance that the results will be better on the scale of the network. But with digital tools, you can identify precisely which item is impeding overall performance. www.managedoutsource.com (800) 670 2809

3. Stakeholders like boiler plant operator, energy manager, industrial site manager and operational staff do not have the same understanding about the energy issues. Digital tools give them the graphs and analysis that helps them communicate effectively with each other and the energy manager, and shows how operator best practices, machine settings and maintenance have affected running costs and energy savings. Cleaver-Brooks founded in 1929 is a complete boiler room solutions provider that helps businesses run better every day. With research and development and a sound acquisition strategy the company is the sole provider of integrated boiler, burner, controls, and exhaust solutions and is a leading manufacturer of boiler room equipment across commercial, institutional, and industrial markets. Recently in an article inplantservices.com, Rakesh Zala, vice president of product engineering for Cleaver-Brooks Packaged Boiler Systems explained how advances in IoT technology are changing the face of boiler room operations. They have launched a new connected boilers solutions Prometha™ IoT- that collects the data, but it also provides actionable insights into a boiler operation. It displays overall system status and detailed dashboards with gauges and trend charts that communicate potential issues and provide insights for troubleshooting. This format enables managers to spend their time acting on the data instead of wasting their time sorting it out. Prometha allows remote monitoring and value-added insights into many key performance indicators like efficiency, stack temperature, flame signal strength, and oxygen level. It provides real time data with which plant operators can make quicker decisions and also ensure safety, sustainability and improve efficiency. This new connected boiler solutions is so advanced that it displays data on any web-enabled mobile phone, tablet or computer. It can also send emails and send text alerts when the boiler shuts down. So, with accurate data this facility does not require a boiler operator or technician on site all the time and also offers flexibility and peace of mind for the boiler room operator. Most organizations in the industry are just beginning their digitalization journey, but some have already embraced digitalization and are pushing themselves ahead of the rest. Digitalization creates and sustains competitive advantage, and those who are not digitalizing now will be left behind. Digital transformation offers various opportunities and capabilities for businesses, and businesses can rely on data entry services for digitizing huge volumes of data. www.managedoutsource.com (800) 670 2809
