Focusing on the need of the hour, the company is now concentrating on R&D in this field. “Renewable energy based solar and wind is being widely supported by the Government of India with financing options and capital expense depreciation benefits. The focus is also on bio-mass based power generation for rural areas to supplement local power consumption, doing away the need for large investment in transmission networks,” revealed Kakkar. Governmental support According to him, “With the current global warming situation, the stress will be on developing countries like India to consider various existing technologies and to adopt cleaner technologies. The first criterion would be to decrease dependency on traditional and fast depleting fuels like coal and gas.” Since India is a net importer, and government regulations keep fuel prices subsidized, the financial burden of these imported energy sources is extremely high. He added, “The second criterion is to focus on the smart grid, with optimization and demand side management as the key elements of the smart grid implementation pilots in India. The challenge of integrating renewable energy with the large transmission grids, and transparently making this energy available to distribution companies at competitive pricing, is important. GE enables local solutions through its research and offers integrating transmission and distribution software for wind turbine management systems.” Focus on India Reliability and availability of power is another concern for an ever expanding economy like India. “GE continues to invest in R&D focused on energy storage based on innovative battery technologies,” Kakkar mentioned. India plays a very important role in GE’s overall business strategy too. “With investments across three technology centers, factories, and a longstanding commitment to the Indian market, the company believes that India will play one of the most significant roles in GE’s growth strategy. With India specific research and customization in product development, building solutions, integration capabilities, partnerships for product delivery / integration, and a unified ONE GE, we are engaging in delivering world-class products and services across a spectrum of customers and facilities,” explained Kakkar. GE has invested in an upcoming world class Multi Modal Facility in Pune, wherein products for multiple GE businesses are to be manufactured. Through extensive research conducted by our technology centers, this facility will cater to the growing need to manufacture locally competitive products developed specifically for India. India’s generating capacity is expected to grow from the current capacity of about 228 GW to 310 GW in 2015. With urbanization, the demand supply gap and complexity of the grid is increasing, necessitating an increased investment in R&D to meet current challenges and prepare for the future. Some of the challenges in modernization infrastructure, integrating IT and power control applications, building infrastructure for integrating renewable technologies, efficient Demand Side Management would need substantial R&D investments to take the Smart Grid concept to the next level. “Reducing AT&C losses and improving delivery efficiencies will make solution providers think differently in an ever increasing grid network,” averred Kakkar.

Automated Storage and Retrieval System (AS/RS) that enables easy handling of heavy loads is a case in point. However, such solutions need to be state-of-the-art and designed with best-in-class technologies. And this is what EPLAN precisely did to meet the requirements of Godrej Efacec Automation & Robotics Ltd, which needed a more advanced software solution to design its systems. A utomated systems do not necessarily simplify work always. At times, these may add to one’s troubles. It applies to every industry and it is no different when it comes to warehousing. Hence, as designers and manufacturers of automated storage and retrieval systems, Godrej Efacec Automation & Robotics Ltd needed a more advanced software solution to design its systems. In particular, the company was looking for standardization of electrical design and enhanced report generation – bill of materials (BOM). An improved process for establishing electrical engineering was essential, requiring several issues to be addressed. The software needed to include automatic generation of test plan for control panels and project process documents consisting of pre-requisites for the commissioning engineer to take over from the installation engineer. Moreover, project process documents that consisted of the activity plan (site time sheet and schedules) were required for the commissioning engineer. Automatic creation of standard guidelines for mounting specific sensors and devices on the equipment was another requirement. These would be used by the mechanical department to carry out the mounting designs and electromechanical assembly-wise BOM needed by the installation department. The need for standardization of the IO-addressing of PLC for specific equipment type and the graphical representation of sensor/devices on the drawings resulted in Godrej Efacec opting for EPLAN software solution. EPLAN implementation Before implementing EPLAN, Godrej Efacec first identified and listed immediate requirements. These included electrical drawings, reports for the various departments and the functional and operational document list with reference to various field electrical components. During the implementation stage, appropriate training in the various EPLAN tools ensured that the engineers working on the drafting and standardization activities could make effective use of the EPLAN software. The tool was also useful as a ready reference on equipment operation modes and troubleshooting guide through incorporation of ‘project-documents’ drawings. Impact on engineering productivity A number of objectives that initially motivated Godrej Efacec to opt for EPLAN have been realized, the principal benefit being a 70 per cent time reduction in electrical engineering along with data consistency. It helped in improving engineering productivity through standardization of electrical design (equipment-wise), accuracy in electrical BOM and ensuring better control over projects. The continued success of the solution has motivated the company to increase productivity and augment cost savings by implementing engineering solutions for other allied industries including panel engineering and panel building. EPLAN has proven to be a good tool for generating electrical drawings with component reports, and the macros, placeholder object, reports filter and export to PDF option that came with the solution made it possible to increase production even further. Having achieved 90 per cent of data consistency in the overall EPLAN documentation, Godrej Efacec is now planning to use more of EPLAN’s resources. The plan includes launching of connectivity interface with ERP and the purchase of additional add-on module EPLAN Engineering Center One, management/execution, and reduction in overall engineering cost.

There is a misconception amongst people that industrial sectors such as oil & gas, pharmaceutical, waste management, manufacturing, etc., are unspectacular and unpopular. Hence, working in a job that deals with any of these sectors usually implies that one has to be extremely academically inclined to be able to work in them. And in a male-dominated world wherein women are expected to follow stereotypical roles, we meet a bunch that does not conform to the norm. These women are working behind the scenes to help promote ‘unglamorous’ sectors in order to make available the latest happenings to the right audience.
