Today we’re talking about IoT devices - specifically wireless devices. This is a request that seems to be increasing a lot from our customers. You have a lot of measurables at your plant, signals, digital and analog that you can make a difference in how well your plant is working. There are new, low cost ways to measure this kind of information, and it's with wireless IoT enabled devices.
Cloud-based IoT control systems remotely monitor not only dust collector conditions, but universally monitor emissions, airflow, vibration, humidity, high temperature or any other data set, from anywhere on most any equipment around the globe. This increases the use of predictive maintenance.
Joe Haney, Product Manager for Fine Filtration and IAC's SMART Plant Remote Monitoring Technology, gave a presentation at the 2023 IEEE-IAS/PCA Cement Conference on the topic of utilizing IoT technology to connect cement plant processing systems to monitoring software which allows cement plant personnel to remotely monitor machine operations, thus saving valuable maintenance time and reducing the potential for unexpected down time.
Recently IAC completed an extensive baghouse project that included the complete design, engineering, equipment fabrication, removal of existing baghouse and ductwork, installation of the new baghouse and ductwork, and the start-up and commissioning of the equipment at a lead oxide battery manufacturing facility.
Sonic horns, also known as acoustic cleaners, have become increasingly popular in various industries due to their ability to efficiently and effectively clean equipment and surfaces. In the milk powder production industry, sonic horns have proven to be an essential tool for enhancing productivity and improving product quality. Here are some of the benefits of using sonic horns for milk powder production.
Rotary dryers play a pivotal role in various industrial sectors, providing a highly efficient and cost-effective solution for drying bulk materials. The intricate design of these industrial rotary dryers enables them to handle a wide range of materials, including aggregates, biomass, minerals, and waste products. This advanced technology has revolutionized the drying process, ensuring optimal performance, versatility, and reliability. Delve into this comprehensive glossary to gain insights into the cutting-edge engineering and innovative developments shaping the future of rotary dryers, and explore their potential to transform your business operations.
IAC works with many industrial construction clients in the very early stages of their capital projects. We often help with preliminary design and budgeting. Clients like the appeal of saving money by procuring many of the larger ticket items themselves. Are the clients really saving money though?
Let’s look at the ricks and challenges of EPC procurement from a couple of different angles and see if it is worth the client purchasing items or if it is better for the EPC contractor (or General Contractor) to purchase them.
As a full service industrial EPC provider, IAC's engineering, planning, and construction teams know the value of initial feasibility and front end engineering design (FEED) studies that identify technical issues in the bid stage, so that we can provide our clients with reliable estimations of project costs and time tables.
Therefore, we are happy to announce that IAC has added 3D laser scanning to the industrial engineering and construction services we offer. Dubbed "ProSIA", for See-It-All, our trained staff will use 3D laser scanning equipment to create a point cloud model of the job site. This model is used to create accurate engineering, equipment, and construction plans, which limit redesign in the engineering process, saving both money and time for our clients.
Here are 6 reasons why IAC's ProSia 3D Laser Scanning Services for construction can benefit your next project:
Unreliable assets have enormous consequences. What if your assets could consistently operate at or above their rated capacities, for a greater percentage of total hours each year, all while spending less money on maintenance?
That’s exactly what today’s best companies have discovered how to do. Industry studies show that the average facility spends approximately 5% of its Replacement Asset Value (RAV) on maintenance each year. In comparison, best performers spend 60% less—just 2% of RAV—while enjoying better uptime, efficiency, and profitability. It’s not about simply spending less on maintenance; it’s about working differently—working smarter—to achieve more reliable steel production operations.
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is revolutionizing the way companies monitor their process operations. Dust Collector remote monitoring, in particular, is becoming increasingly popular among company executives and plant maintenance personnel because of its benefits. With the help of industrial IoT remote monitoring, companies across a wide variety of industries can improve their operations, streamline their production processes, increase safety for plant personnel, and reduce costs.
Forming and pouring concrete foundations over 10 feet deep requires careful consideration of many factors. These include the type of soil and its load-bearing capacity, the desired soil compaction levels, the dimensions of the foundation, and the thickness of the concrete. Additionally, the job requires experienced and qualified personnel with knowledge of industry standards and safety protocols.
