Below a list of our main customers and what we build for them. We also help all kind of companies in a wide field of IT related challenges
Dutch natural gas distributor.
Asset Management: Pipe health & Integrity.
In close cooperation with the pipe integrity departments we executed a study to how to implement modern web-based solutions that would prevent data loss and prevent double activities at excavations of corroded pipelines. A complete new structure of data storage was introduced.
Structural Health Monitoring.
The StabiAlert system records hundred times per second to a twenty-five thousandth degree accuracy subsidence, deformation, vibration and change in angle of all possible objects. Their system can also be used for rise- and subsidence mapping of large area’s.
The collected data is sent over the internet to a database, and the history of all movements is recorded. The software, developed by S&S Systems, makes it possible for customers to watch the status of an object in real time via the internet. In addition to this active monitoring the system can send automated email- or SMS alerts. Unusual situations and incidents are reported to customers within fifteen seconds after an event has occurred.
ANDON LEAN process monitoring / TROY SAP/MES Middleware connector.
Prysmian uses the advanced ANDON digital signal-board from S&S Systems to assist in their LEAN optimizations. By being able to signal factory-wide the status of the plant quickly, especially stagnation at bottlenecks, makes everyone keep the focus on the really important things: keep production at bottlenecks at maximum speed.
Prysmian has in all its Dutch factories an in-house made MES. The communication with SAP is established via the advanced S&S TROY SAP middleware. Using specialized RFC's and BAPI's for getting and sending information from/to SAP, SAP can also request information from TROY. Advanced scheduling with multi-level batch-processing keeps the MES-/SCADA-systems up-to-date. Important modifications made in SAP are immediately past on to TROY by SAP. Depending on the information from SAP, TROY can trigger numerous actions on MES-/SCADA-level.
O.E.E. / N.E.E. consultancy and implementation.
Stago Hoorn is a manufacturer of cable trunking systems.
Real-time monitoring the performance of their extensive collection of production machines by means of a standardized Overall Equipment Efficiency index, will enable Stago to increase production output and raise quality levels. With this information Stago can plan their machine occupation better than before, and identify any production bottlenecks clearly and early.
Preparations for reduction of offstream periods, load testing OPC, LAN and CPU.
Nedmag Industries is a world leading producer of Magnesium Oxide, Magnesium Chloride, Magnesium Hydroxide and Calcium Chloride. Products used in the cement and steel industry, textile finishing, catalyst production and many other applications.
For this company S&S Systems designed the concept of the TagToolBox. A web based add-on for the S&S MIS to dynamically define downtime.
To prove this concept workable, S&S Systems did some on-site load testing on the SCADA servers to measure CPU load and LAN load while reading hundreds of measures per second via OPC connection.
Industrial Data Acquisition System "Sense".
The complete design and realization of a data-acquisition system and visualization tools. Based on a factory wide RS-485 bus. The only non-FIBREGLASS system that can cope with extreme disturbance from electromagnetic interference. The system is run-time expandable and modifiable. All warnings are done by e-mail and are voice supported in the operator room (OPERATOR’S remark: "I feel like captain Kirk."). Web based clients visualize the situation at the shop floor in real time. In addition we converted the Token-Ring network into ethernet.
WebSCADA process control.
Web based process control via the GSM network of mobile wastewater purification installations. Process control by Industrial Personal Computers and JAVA on a SuSE LINUX operating system. The process servers are worldwide connected with a central history server with gateways from the internet to the mobile net. Visual control by means of small web-cams.
Energy based process learning technology - software/hardware/process expertise.
The solutions based on this technology are applied to industrial processes, HVAC in buildings and moving parts in infrastructure.
In terms of added values, these solutions
Downtime reduction, process visualization, WebSCADA, process historian and system integration.
The main distribution center for the BeNeDeCh-area (Belgium, Netherlands, Germany and Switzerland) of Schneider-Electric boosts processing capacity. A system-integration assignment for S&S Systems. The warehouse visualization and logging system will monitor all PLC-register activities, import source data from the SAP ordering system and synchronize this data with all scanning devices in real time. The WebSCADA-system can 'replay' all belt activities from last year, while production is boosted by real-time progress graphs. Downtime will be reduced to a minimum by the S&S MIS system.
Downtime reduction & providing operational information.
Implementation of the first web-based S&S MIS version 3, interlinked with Bühler SCADA system, the GRENCO process computers and the NORIT wastewater purification system. This system is expanded with modules for feedback to operators and for action lists to manage running optimization projects and the logs for the shifts. A complete Management Information System for practical operational information.
Consultancy: Central & East European Logistics. Warehouse for electrotechnical materials.
The CEELog warehouse needs to double the performance in the coming two years. S&S Systems consults CEELog Budapest to streamline their warehouse operations to enable them to achieve the necessary performance. The implementation of our Vision concept to provide real-time performance dashboards and a custom made M.E.S. (Manufactoring Execution System) and W.C.S. (Warehouse Control System).
Sluis Cigar Machinery B.V. is one of the main suppliers of new, reconditioned and used machinery and parts to the cigar industry.
The software engineers of SCM docked into our internet database with their machine control software to monitor the performance of tobacco processing machines. All parameters for a real-time O.E.E. (Overall Equipment Efficiency) are uploaded to the web based Sense database. Every second of downtime is stored into the downtime management information system known as S&S MIS. With this technology SCM can now monitor all their machines and processes world wide in real time. All information is on-demand available.
Business unit LSM.
Customer specific industrial process software.
S&S Systems is a key supplier for custom industrial software for Actemium. Complex integrated software systems to optimize production by integrating all involved bounding systems like PLCs, ERPs and MES systems.
Downtime reduction & production registration.
Complete implementation of S&S MIS for two factories and three solid board mills, with ERP system integrated production registration at the mills. Automation and optimization of the production administration, automated assignment of process failures and production standstills to the production run combinations of the mills. Considerable downtime reduction is realized. For a single machine we measured the highest uptime ever for this kind of machines.
Custom made cash- and customer registration system.
A program to sell services, goods and consumption articles. Creating, selling and managing sales- and control subscriptions, building access control via bar code reader, pay-desk drawer control. Creates service-, monthly- and annual (financial) reports. Generates bills and many other functions.
