KMDA-6920 Empowers SCADA System in Indian Smart Steel Plant, Enabling an Efficient and Reliable Production Monitoring Platform
In the steel manufacturing industry, a stable and efficient SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system is essential to achieving intelligent production. A large steel plant in India recently deployed JHCTECH’s fanless embedded Box PC, KMDA-6920, delivering a rugged, reliable, and low-maintenance computing solution for its SCADA system, significantly enhancing the plant’s automation and production efficiency.
Meeting Harsh Environmental Challenges to Ensure SCADA System Stability and Efficiency
The core challenges faced by Indian steel plants include:
✅ Extreme environments: High temperatures, heavy dust, and constant vibration in the production workshops demand exceptional equipment stability.
✅ Real-time monitoring needs: 24/7 continuous data acquisition is required to maintain visibility and control over the entire production process.
✅ Low maintenance operation: Traditional industrial control equipment has a high failure rate and high maintenance costs, a more reliable solution has become essential.
✅ Seamless integration: The system must integrate smoothly with PLCs, sensors, and industrial networks to enable full automation.
Excellent performance of KMDA-6920
To address these demands, JHCTECH offered the KMDA-6920 industrial-grade Box PC. With its ✅ high reliability, ✅ rich I/O interfaces, ✅ flexible expansion, ✅ low-maintenance design, and ✅ high energy efficiency, the KMDA-6920 proved to be the ideal solution for this project.
