This paper deals with up-gradation of primitive method of communication of process failures in Rolling Mills of Bhilai Steel Plant. Presently process failures or breakdowns are communicated through compressed air whistle at operation shop floor. There after it is communicated telephonically to shift i/c. The system which is in house developed will sense the faults , record in system and immediately send the information of failure through SMS to all the concerned agencies like electrical , mechanical , instrumentation, hydraulics & operation on their mobile phones . This would help in attacking the problems by all agencies simultaneously instead of leaving it to operator to decide who has to solve this problem.. In case the problem has occurred first time then operator will write the problem and click the button to send SMS to all agencies. The motto behind this application is cost involved in improving the process efficiency of old and very old plants through automation using present technology is very high instead lets operate the plant in a more effective way.
“Know all the failures all the time by all concerned to have all time availability of equipment.”
Key Words : Operational efficiency, automatic SMS, rolling mills , Bhilai steel Plant
Introduction
As per Newton 's First Law of Motion: a body continue to be in motion unless it is disturbed. So is the case with any process , a process will continue to be smooth operation as long as conditions under which process was running is not disturbed. Keeping the conditions unchanged to keep the process
