SUFFIXTRIE ERP for Cement Industry

In the cement industry productivity is a critical factor in achieving and maintaining a position of competitive advantage. Maximizing capacity utilization during periods of high demand, reducing operational costs during lean periods, ensuring maximum equipment uptime and achieving a high level of operational efficiency are key success factors in this highly cyclical industry.

SUFFIXTRIE ERP for Cement Industry is a software suite designed to optimize the performance of complex unit operations of cement plants. It achieves this objective by using state-of-the-art technologies to improve overall plant productivity.

The SUFFIXTRIE ERP for Cement Industry product suite helps cement manufacturers achieve specific productivity targets through online monitoring and control in a user-friendly software environment. It currently consists of three modules:

Mill Optimizer

A model-based multivariable predictive controller (MPC) for supervisory control of all types of raw meal and finish grinding circuits.


Kiln Optimizer
A control system for kilns consisting of a multivariable predictive controller for normal operating conditions and an expert system for abnormality handling.


Maintenance

A powerful tool for plant maintenance, scheduling, condition monitoring, fault diagnosis, shutdown management, spare parts tracking, and inventory control.


The first two modules are implemented at the supervisory level. The operational advantage is that the controllers are totally customized to the requirements of the process, thus providing a high level of performance.

The SUFFIXTRIE ERP for Cement Industry product suite thus covers the entire range of plant operations, and is designed to deliver across-the-board higher productivity through maximization of throughput, improvement in product quality, reduction in specific energy consumption, smoother equipment running, reduced downtime, and reduced operational variability.

Intense competition in the cement industry has forced most cement producers to re-examine costs and business processes. Experts now believe that in a capital-intensive, continuous process industry like cement, improving capacity utilization and equipment availability is key to attaining and sustaining a competitive edge.

The short life span of cement requires a very effective distribution mechanism and smooth information flow across the supply chain to respond rapidly to changes in the market. Solutions for quarrying, process control, manufacturing, bagging, shipping and tracking can no longer be disparate. The islands of automation in cement plants must now integrate into a comprehensive solution to constantly monitor and use all information across the supply chain.

The SUFFIXTRIE ERP for cement industry address the entire needs of the cement industry from mining to delivery, and combines the power of a client-server based enterprise software solution with specialized process management systems.

We offer the following solutions for the cement industry:
