Textile - Nonwoven plant

Challenge:

Unforeseen hazards at any industrial plant cannot be avoided, even after following almost all the standard safety precautions. While automation optimizes a business, it can also be the cause of hazards like fire -  for example, Electrical overloads increase the potential of fire risks and workers are at risk for an electrical shock when stored energy is accumulated and unexpectedly released. According to Risk India Surveys; India ranks 3rd in fire incidents.

The challenge further intensifies when recovery time takes longer than usual thus hampering the business’s profitability. Understanding the root cause of the hazard and eliminating future mishaps while getting the plant back in working condition requires expert analysis and damage control management.

Solution:

At Velox Automation, we understand your plight and take safety standards very seriously. Most importantly, we understand the need for a speedy recovery after a hazard has occurred. We are always on the front foot to offer you proper analysis and crisis management thereafter. 

We have a dedicated SOS PAN-India team of experts, experienced in quick survey and analysis that assists your plant to be back up and running in no time. 

Our recent encounter was with our client Non-Woven, a start-up textile plant that encountered a fire hazard and required support in hardware restoration with no time to waste!

A quick analysis was done for the damage caused to the Electrical Systems like PLC, Servo Drives, and Servo Cables. Crisis Management was provided through Emergency Testing, Repair ad Replacement of all electrical hardware.

• Velox deputed a team of engineers and technicians on an immediate basis.
• Analysis and testing were carried out for servo drives, servo cables, and the automation system.
• Faulty material was located and arranged on topmost priority from different sources from PAN-India.
• The on-site team worked day and night to replace old servo cables, VFDs, and PLCs.  
• 7 KM faulty power and control cable was replaced/rerouted with more than 200 terminations at the site.

Why Velox Makes Sense

For the Client:

• The Client was able to resume their manufacturing in minimum time after a major fire incident.
• Velox team was available 24x7 to tackle hurdles even for a start-up.
• There was no need to coordinate with multiple agencies.
• Proper documentation for different stages of testing was provided to the client which will help them with the insurance claim.

For the Environment:

A fire incident in a factory poses risks to human life and the environment. Contamination is caused by the fire via a fire plume and its diffusion when the particulates and other materials get deposited into the soil and the water in the surrounding area. These depositions can be toxic and hazardous to the environment and to the people living or working in the area. To avoid such environmental harm, Velox Automation takes Fire Safety and Crisis Management very seriously. We educate our clients on crisis management and how to get back to normal functioning.
