George Reed Inc.’s construction materials division is at the forefront of innovation, harnessing the power of the Ignition Perspective SCADA system alongside custom development to enhance processing automation and data-driven decision-making. SCADA, or Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition, is a system that uses software and hardware to monitor, control, and analyze industrial processes and devices. SCADA systems can collect data from sensors and other devices, and then use that data to help improve efficiency, quality, and profitability. This SCADA platform allows for real-time monitoring and control of production processes, resulting in significant improvements in efficiency and quality. By automating crushing operations and leveraging comprehensive data, the division has streamlined workflows and reduced error. This approach not only boosts productivity but also aligns with sustainability objectives, minimizing waste and energy consumption, leading to an overall improvement in operational efficiency.
A recent case study featuring a recent automation project at the Jackson Valley Quarry that highlights these efforts. Under GRI's guidance, the team implemented a SCADA system utilizing Inductive Automations Perspective platform to facilitate seamless integration of real-time data and system control across all material crushing stages. This innovation has enabled proactive decision-making and resource optimization, ultimately leading to substantial cost reductions. The results are impressive: enhanced operational transparency, improved material utilization, and a marked reduction in the environmental footprint.
Through these initiatives, George Reed Inc. is not only setting a standard in the construction materials industry but also demonstrating a robust commitment to sustainable practices and responsible resource management.
