Putting Safety First
Solution: Siemens SCADA and PLC Systems
Industry
After a call for proposals, Génisys was awarded the contract for this client in the penitentiary sector.
Needs
The detention facility required a fully automated, 100% reliable management system to avoid operational errors, non-compliance with protocols, and security breaches. This involved automating the security system as well as integrating other operating systems such as cameras, intercoms and paging.
Solutions
Our design and engineering team created the software architecture for the Siemens SCADA systems and programmed the SCADA and PLC systems according to the client’s specifications. The system was implemented both in the workshop and at the client’s site in an operational environment. Training in system operation and maintenance was provided to current employees.
Overview in numbers:
- 11 pairs of redundant PLCs (+/- 3,500 IO)
- 11 pairs of redundant servers
- 84 clients
- 400 SCADA pages
- 18 months of work
Results
With the implementation of Siemens systems (SCADA and PLC)
our client acquired high-performance tools that facilitate operation and reduce error risk
The system provides
24/7 reliability
The implemented tools provide
quick and easy access to operating information, allowing operators to review past events as required
The client also benefited from:
- Improved operational reliability (supervision of building sections)
- A global view of building sections
- An operational tool for event history audits
- A high-availability system (with redundancies)
