Operational Excellence Unlocked at Every Level

The first step to optimising your plant’s operations is to assess its current state. This involves conducting thorough audits, identifying inefficiencies, and benchmarking against industry standards. By understanding these gaps, we can create a tailored roadmap to unlock your facility’s full potential.

Solutions:

• Comprehensive networking solutions to set up secure, IIoT-ready systems.
• Data logging and visualisation tools for real-time insights into operations.
• Remote monitoring and asset management to ensure efficiency and continuity.
• Custom system designs tailored to your plant’s unique needs.
• Advanced inventory planning and rollout management for seamless transitions.
• Simulation and configuration services to enhance end-user experience and minimise downtime.

IDX specialises in fully understanding data technologies, interfacing disparate systems, and enabling connections. Our technologies include PROFIBUS, PROFINET, EtherCAT, CAN, Nexus, OPC, Modbus, AS-i Interface, Ethernet/IP, and DeviceNet.

Solutions:

• Various Nexus software and hardware products enable real-time information to flow between disparate systems, both modern and legacy.
• Specialised gateways.
• The interface between modern PLC and legacy mine-winder motor and drive sub-system.
• The interface between the train control system and fire and smoke detection sub-system (railways).
• The interface between PLC Fieldbus/industrial ethernet and GPS module.
• The interface between PLC/DCS and boiler tube-leak detection system.
• The interface between industrial scales and PLC/DCS/SCADA or custom applications that support MODBUS.
• Wireless interfaces.

After establishing your connection, we help you maintain it by providing a permanent and remote access monitoring solution, data logging and visualisation system, preventative maintenance procedure, and diagnostic tools.

Solutions:

• Data acquisition and control for open-cast mining mobile equipment.
• Performance monitoring of a robotic laboratory for mining samples.

This is why you establish and maintain connections! Now it’s time for you to harness the technology to its full capacity by ensuring safe operation, streamlining and simplifying processes, maximising throughput while avoiding wastage. Continuous improvement and measurement are supported by data analytics.

Solutions:

• Simulator for testing logic for an offshore gas-platform ESD&FG System.
• Simulator for testing the interface between a train control system and fire and smoke detection sub-system.
• Simulator interface for operator training at a power station.
• Simulator interface for a train to test/develop IIOT solutions.
• Simulators for testing a variety of interfaces to devices that support MODBUS, J1939 and other modern or legacy protocols.
• Laboratory monitoring system for ultra-low temperature freezers and the associated environmental conditions such as power, temperature and humidity.
• Extend an existing batch system to manage more equipment and increase the complexity of the process.
• Performance monitoring of a robotic laboratory for mining samples.
• Performance monitoring for batch processes at a precious metal refinery.
• Various software tools for the maintenance and management of MIS/MES systems are built using the PI ecosystem.
• A software tool to migrate time-series data from one data historian to another.
• Digitise service level reporting and analysis (done for service mix)
