Infrastructure & Utility: Boiler Operation & Data logging
Boilers are used in infrastructure and utilities for many purposes, including:
Heating : Boilers heat water to provide hot water or steam for heating buildings. Steam is often used in kitchens, laundries, & sterilizers while hot water can be distributed via baseboard radiators or radiant floor systems.
Power generation : Boilers are used to generate electricity by producing steam.
Industrial processes : Boilers are used in industrial processes such as cement production, refineries, petrochemicals, paper mills, and tire manufacturing.
Agriculture: Boilers are used in agriculture for soil steaming, which can help disinfect soil & increase nutrients.
Brewing:Boilers are used in the brewing process to heat the malt and water mixture, also known as the mash, before adding yeast to trigger fermentation.

Challenges:
Solution:
We as VACPL provided efficient and end to end solution of PLC based control panel and which is helping customer in below ways. installation time is greatly reduced with PLC control systems due to the reduced amount of hard wiring required. In other words, we only need to hard wire the input and output devices. The control logic is implemented using software not hard wired relays.
Modifications to the control logic can easily be done using software to modify the ladder logic program rather than hardware and wiring modifications that would normally be the case with relay logic control. The same PLC can be used for a wide range of control system applications.
