Our team has in-depth experience in developing solutions for acquiring, storing and analyzing information from sensors and signals. Our expert team works with various sensors like strain gauges, accelerometers, temperature sensors, RPM sensors and GPS sensors.
Our Data Acquisition Services are:
- Data capture from PLC systems
- Data capture from Edge devices
- Data capture from motors and pumps using sensors
- Data capture from pipes using Air Leak Monitoring devices
Data Capture from Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) Systems
The PLC receives information from connected sensors or input devices, processes the data, and triggers outputs based on pre-programmed parameters. Depending on the inputs and outputs, a PLC can monitor and record run-time data such as machine productivity or operating temperature, automatically start and stop processes, generate alarms if a machine malfunctions, and more. PLC is a flexible and robust control solution, adaptable to almost any application.dvc
There are a few key features that set PLCs apart from industrial PCs, microcontrollers, and other industrial control solutions:
- Input / Output (I/O) – The PLC’s CPU stores and processes program data, but input and output modules connect the PLC to the rest of the machine; these I/O modules are what provides information to the CPU and trigger specific results. I/O can be either analog or digital; input devices might include sensors, switches, and meters, while outputs might include relays, lights, valves, and drives. Users can mix and match a PLC’s I/O in order to get the right configuration for their application.
- Communications – In addition to input and output devices, a PLC might also need to connect with other kinds of systems; for example, users might want to export application data recorded by the PLC to a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system, which monitors multiple connected devices. PLCs offer a range of ports and communication protocols to ensure that the PLC can communicate with these other systems.
- HMI – In order to interact with the PLC in real time, users need an HMI, or Human Machine Interface. These operator interfaces can be simple displays, with a text-readout and keypad, or large touchscreen panels more similar to consumer electronics, but either way, they enable users to review and input information to the PLC in real time.
Data Capture from Edge devices
Data is gathered and analyzed in real time with edge computing. Edge computing works by capturing and processing information as close to the source of the data or desired event as possible. It relies on sensors, computing devices and machinery to collect data and feed it to edge servers or the cloud. Depending on the desired task and outcome, this data might feed analytics and machine learning systems, deliver automation capabilities or offer visibility into the current state of a device, system or product.
Data Capture from Motors and Pumps using Sensors
Data is captured from motors and pumps using vibration sensors. A vibration sensor measures the amount and frequency of vibration in a given system, machine, or piece of equipment and sends information to maintenance teams insight into conditions within key assets that might lead to equipment failure, allowing them to predict the maintenance of the machinery, to reduce overall costs and increase the performance of the machinery.
Data Capture from Pipes using Air Leak Monitoring Devices
Our leak detection monitoring system utilizes KPIs of the pipeline and the product batch it carries. Our system uses different statistical approaches. We utilize the sequential probability ratio method that characterizes and distinguishes the ‘normal’ and ‘abnormal’ behavior of the pipeline and the product it carries. The system improves accuracy, using historical and live data as the software tracks different KPIs. Our automated leak detection software is not limited to pipeline leak detection. It can also identify anomalies like flow meter errors, compressor issues, inlet separator water level problems, etc.
