Power plants face constant challenges: maintaining efficiency, reliability, safety, and compliance while minimizing downtime and operational costs. Manual monitoring and legacy systems often result in reactive maintenance, delayed decision-making, and unnecessary energy losses.
This case study shows how a power generation plant can adaopt AdiCloudX, the Industrial IoT Cloud by AdiInfi, to achieve real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and enterprise-wide visibility.
The Challenges
Challenges
Limited real-time visibility of turbines, boilers, and auxiliary equipment
High unplanned downtime due to reactive maintenance
Energy efficiency losses due to lack of consolidated monitoring
Difficulty in generating compliance-ready audit trails
No centralized system to connect multiple sites and assets
Impact on Operations
- Slower response to critical issues
- Reduced ability to optimize performance
- Increased unplanned downtime and higher costs
- Delays in decision-making and performance reviews
- Higher complexity and maintenance effort
Our Approach
We start with a comprehensive system audit to map all plant assets, data points, and control requirements:
Identified all critical operational parameters (temperature, vibration, pressure, fuel flow, emissions, etc.)
Designed a centralized SCADA architecture integrating turbines, boilers, generators, transformers, and auxiliary systems
Configured intelligent alarms for early fault detection and safety assurance
Enabled predictive maintenance analytics based on historical and live data trends
Established secure remote access for plant managers and control room teams
The AdiCloudX SCADA Solution
The power plant deployed AdiCloudX along with AdiNexus Gateways to connect critical assets (PLCs, sensors, SCADA systems) into a secure cloud platform.
