Interface
Client Background
IOCL wanted to develop a system that will be responsible for monitoring the energy usage of their pumps in the pumping station.
OTI Relationship with Client
Therefore, IOCL wanted to develop a system that would be able to monitor the Energy data for better decision making and increase efficiency.
Challenges
Monitoring of the energy meters can not be done in real-time as there is no system in place to fetch and store the data. Monitoring the energy also let us know about the status of the pump(On/Off status).
Therefore, this whole system needs to be digitally operated with the use of smart meters, fetching the data and sending it to the cloud for analysis of the energy and real-time monitoring.
Also, crucial protection must be provided to the whole system at the hardware edge.
Solution
We have designed a flexible, and compatible system to monitor the whole energy data thereby incorporating the digital transformation by using various types of nodes and a unique gateway as a central hub which later sends the data to the cloud.
IoT NODES: To collect all physical quantities from operational technologies at pumping station, there are several types of IoT NODES deployed at the edge which convert the physical value into a digital value.IoT NODES have hardcore protection feature at edge for immediate action to avoid uncertain scenario.
Architecture
OTI Node
Key Features:
- 3-Phase 3-Phase current measurement and 24-bit ADC resolution
- 5KHz Sampling frequency and 0.2 Class measurement accuracy
- Easy to install with external CT for configurable current range
- Industry standard RS485 protocol
Applications:
Installed at individual motors to monitor the value and behavior of the drawn current. It collects all physical quantities from operational technologies at pumping station, there are several types of IoT NODES deployed at the edge which convert the physical value into a digital value.
Gateway
This gateway works as a centralized element to manage all IIoT NODES deployed on the field using secure wireless communication. It has inbuilt user-configurable algorithms to take critical decisions and actions via NODES. It works as a key element managing the local as well as remote networks using Ethernet/WiFi connectivity, hence providing user configuration features for add/remove the NODES in the local network.
Key Features:
Efficient Processor: 900 MHz, Quad core ARM Cortex A7 CPU, 1 GB RAM, 16 GB on-board storage memory, 64 GB external memory support, ARM GNU/Linux Operating System, Wireless Local connectivity using 2.4 GHz ZigBee, Cloud connectivity using 802.11 b/g/n WiFi, 10/100 Base T Ethernet, Easy to install and light weight.
Applications:
Works as an intelligent intermediator between OT & IT. Manage all field NODES using a secure wireless local network, communication for data acquisition, and control action as per configuration. It takes the dataset to the Cloud/Server for further analysis and presentation. We have integrated the feature for Manual/Automated operation depends on the situation.

Benefits
- User friendly / Simplified
- Compatible
- Continuous monitoring
- Results driven data analytics
- Crucial data protection
Benefits against alternatives
- Our solution being an automated one eliminates the chances of human error, making it a very efficient, error proof system.
- Rather than having multiple interfaces for data acquisition, analysis of the data, representation of the data in the desired form a remote access of data ;the client is now able to fulfill all these functions on a single interface conserving the time and efforts of the client.
