PI AF Empoderando las Soluciones y la Escalabilidad

Utilizando algoritmos inteligentes e automatização de processos para algumas rotinas operacionais do Centro de Operação da Geração (que coordena e opera 14 usinas hidrelétricas e 11 eólicas com potência total de 3 GMW) como, o Controle Hidráulico, Trasmissão de Dados a Stakeholders e Consolidação da Medição de Faturamento, foram obtidos ganhos substanciais em termos de redução de custos e confiabilidade aos processos do COG.

Caso prático de um PI AF bem estruturado que promove a facilidade de rollout tanto de estrutura quanto de aplicação cliente. O foco do projeto é no controle de eficiência energética em duas unidades engarrafadoras. Foram mapeados os equipamentos de maior criticidade do processo e então representados no PI AF. Para monitoramento destes KPIs foi desenvolvida uma aplicação Web em formato de TreeMap com navegação Drill Down; permitindo a rastreabilidade da causa raiz de uma eventual ineficiência. A aplicação foi desenvolvida inicialmente em uma unidade e posteriormente replicada com muita facilidade, realizando apenas a modelagem do PI AF.
