MANAGE YOUR OPERATION/PRODUCTION THROUGH DMFM-3 TO

REDUCE COST AND IMPROVE QUALITY OF PRODUCT/SERVICES

INTRODUCTION

Uma Electronics is innovative company which coverts ideas in to technological

products which provide a new path for Companies. We have pride to announce

introducing a product which will not only save electrical energy but also help you in

following areas :

Maintenance:Pin points the parameters of process equipment which need attention to do

maintenance or replace the equipment.

Production speed;There are bottlenecks or costly equipment or process which require most

attention. Any breakdown or idleness is not tolerable. Such equipments

utilization time can be monitored. Root causes of such idleness can be

identified.

Quality improvement:Defective equipment is one of the causes of poor quality.

Quality cost can be reduced drastically, if defective parameter in the process

can be identified

Machine performance tracking systemAs a supplier or purchaser of some equipment /machine you can have recorded

history of equipment parameters and compare the same with the standards . If

it is claimed that

certain performance parameter are within some stated limit. Machine will perform certain nos of hours Maintenance will be required after certain condition or time. Any other statement.--------------------------------------------------------

As a supplier if the same is monitored it will help to improve design feature

of the equipment.

As a purchased it will help to identify the gap between desired and actual

performance and help to manage process/equipment through gap analysis

For such identification we provide instrumentation and data logger for

physical quantities also

PRODUCT

DMFM-3 is the product of third generation which measures parameter i.e.Voltage Current Power Factor

Watt Reactive Volt Ampere Volt Ampere

Kilowatt hours frequency.

Minimum and maximum values of parameters can be observed on graph with

respect to time for relevant parameters.

[Pamphlet for Third Generation]

For all the three phases and display it on 5- row LED display. It also record these

parameters on 2GB to 32GB detachable SD Memory card fitted in the slot of

instrument. Recording interval can be set by buttons placed in the front. More than100 years data (if per minute data readings is done) can be stored in memory card

of 32GB.

[Pamphlet for calculation of Recording period]

0.5KB Data for all electrical parameters.

1MB - 2000 Minute

1000MB 2 Million Minutes == 3.8Years

1GB 3.8 Years32GB = 121 years.

This instrument can also be connected to computer by using wire or wireless

connection(Zigbee network) through which on line data can be acquired in computer

depending on the requirement.

Data are acquired in excel format. Any of the parameters can be represented on

graphics by clicking on the parameter box. This helps to interpret results in better

way.

Custom reports can be generated.

APPLICATIONS

1. Health monitoring of electrical equipment and connected load.

2. Observation of critical parameter such as voltage , frequency and powerfactor.

3. Drawing of load curves for avoiding peaks .

4. Monitoring of utilization time of process equipment.

IMPLEMENTATION

Instrument provides relevant information to the Energy manager for diagnosis to

take corrective action. Action can be taken by following steps as below :-

Draw tabulated statement for energy for last 12 months.

SUGGESTTED STEPS

Identify atleast 5 to 30 blocks or equipments(depending on the size) which

consume 80% energy and install DMFM-3 on each block. It is necessary as it is

difficult to manage every thing. Initiative should not become combursome.

down load data from one sd card at a time. Analyse the same for decision

making

Take another card and iterate the process

Arrange brain storming sessions strive for continuous improvement.

EXAMPLES OF POSSIBLE REASONS AND DECISIONS.

1. Mechanical equipment may have friction and affecting motor current thenequipment require maintenance.

2. Motor itself may be running idle and may require on off relay or requireinstallation of VFD

3. Power factor is low because capacitors not installed or motor selected is not ofright standard.

4. Motor is drawing more current because voltage and frequency remain low andrequire voltage stabilizer.

These are the few example from long list.

COCLUSION

This instrument is eye opener and energy solutions can be provided like doctor

prescribe medicines, based on test reports.

In case consultancy services are required to reduce cost and improve quality .

Comprehensive solutions can also be provided.

We may also provide transducer to convert physical parameter in electrical parameter

and in the similar way provide instruments to measure and record relevant

information.Based on physical parameters measurement, system can be improved. It

will also help to improve process equipment and product quality.
