Client background
Client: A large chemical company based in Asia
Area of operation: Global
Products: Chemicals, Polyethylene, Polyurethanes
Employees: Over 4000
The Challenge
The petrochemical leader faced major challenges in building a large integrated petrochemical plant in a single phase. The greenfield plant was to go live in five years. The client was looking for a partner who could design the IT infrastructure and provide end-to-end IT lifecycle services.
The new petrochemical plant had a large production floor with 26 different subunits distributed across the plant premises. Being a large plant area with multiple shop floors with hazardous material usages, it was a challenge to design passive and active components for automation as well as monitoring from remote locations. Planning an integrated state-of-the-art system with common IT & OT network for the complete plant was a challenge.
Solution
Wipro stepped in as the preferred IT partner to design the IT & OT infrastructure that would integrate all units of the petrochemical plant and provide a unified monitoring center and health safety
Design and program governance – Wipro worked with the client and 30+ Engineering, Procurement, Construction (EPC)units for integrated design and approvals of various systems and subsystems including network, security, public safety and security, public announcement and general alarm, wired and wireless multi-channel communication for IT and OT systems like SCADA, BMS etc. The solutions were designed considering the hazardous nature of the goods. All critical components utilized were explosion-proof with intrinsically safe equipment during power-surge scenario.
Integration and commissioning – Wipro installed and integrated various systems across IT and OT for the plant. Wipro delivered end-to-end integration of common systems and core architecture, and carried out integration of subsystems in EPC’s subunits.
Business Impact
By implementing a fully functional IT & OT infrastructure with timely execution, Wipro helped the client accomplish its mission of launching a large integrated petrochemical plant. The client now has a unified monitoring center for its plant’s IT & OT equipment, all solutions ensure quality and safety, and it has the capability to add up to 25% of the current capacity.
Key outcomes:
One of the most important decisions a company needs to make is choosing the right portfolio of cloud solutions.
The speedy SaaS momentum can not only be attributed to a tight economy but also to the associated low Total Cost of Ownership
Cloud technologies will continue to gain attention through 2013. This is largely due to the fact that we seem to have reached a tipping point in terms of benefits through advanced technologies like cloud, mobility, collaboration, Big Data and analytics
