Optimizing Data Transfer Process Across Different Applications

Automated data transfer and calculations across many furnaces, significantly reducing manual labor from several months to just one month, and ensuring seamless adaptability to data changes.

Goals

  • Automate calculation and transfer of data across multiple industrial furnaces.
  • Eliminate manual entry for thousands of unique operational tags.
  • Establish a secure and organized asset structure for calculation results.
  • Accelerate the project timeline from several months to a shorter execution period.

Challenge

  • Managing calculations across nearly twenty active industrial furnaces.
  • Handling thousands of tags with unique calculation formulas for each furnace.
  • Relying on manual calculation methods estimated to take several months of effort.
  • Adapting to frequent changes in tag names or data source prefixes.

Solutions

  • Developed integration with an Excel mapping sheet to automate data extraction.
  • Built tailored, code-based formulas adapted to each furnace's specific operations.
  • Implemented an organized asset tree to structure and store calculation results.

Result

  • Reduced data processing timeline from several months of labor to one month.
  • Automated data extraction to eliminate manual input across thousands of tags.
  • Enabled seamless updates when changes were made to over two thousand tags.
  • Secured operational data through structured access control and asset mapping.
