Streamlining Waste Management Operations: A Centralized Monitoring and Reporting Solution

Our client, an end-customer in the waste management sector based in Singapore, previously operated with fragmented monitoring systems across its various plants. Each plant was designed by different vendors, resulting in a diverse array of brands and systems.

Objectives
  • Centralized Monitoring & Control: Develop a solution enabling operators to monitor and control multiple plants from a single location.
  • Operator Retooling: Retain the availability for existing localized monitoring system
  • Compliance Reporting: Implement an efficient reporting system to meet National Environment Agency (NEA) requirements.
Challenges
  • Reverse engineering: The absence of comprehensive documentation necessitated reverse engineering of existing systems.
  • System Integration: Consolidating disparate solutions from multiple vendors while maintaining operational continuity proved complex.
Solutions Implemented by Plant Werx
  • Centralized Control System: Utilizing AVEVA System Platform (formerly Wonderware), we designed a centralized control system with intuitive graphics.
  • Historical Logging & Reporting: We deployed a robust historical logging system and leveraged Dream Report for data extraction and visualization.
  • Client Collaboration: The end-user procured and deployed their own hardware and licenses, while Plant Werx provided specialized engineering services.
Results
  • Unified Operations: A centralized system was deployed, enabling operators to monitor seven plants from a single control center.
  • Multi-Brand Compatibility: The system seamlessly integrates with multiple PLC brands, ensuring flexibility and scalability.
  • Efficient Reporting: Automated reporting capabilities significantly reduced the time required for audit submissions, enhancing compliance efficiency.

By delivering this comprehensive solution, Plant Werx has empowered our client to achieve greater operational efficiency, regulatory compliance, and long-term sustainability in waste management operations.
