Digital Industries (Pty) Ltd signs an AVEVA Select partnership agreement to grow its footprint in the East and West Africa regions

South Africa, Johannesburg, 23 March 2023 – Digital Industries (DI) through its business unit Industry Software Solutions and Support (IS³), announced that it has become an AVEVA Select partner for the East and West Africa regions. AVEVA Select partnership allows Digital Industries to deliver AVEVA’s full portfolio of leading-edge industrial software solutions to customers that will help them become more sustainable and profitable.

The AVEVA Select agreement has set specific strategic intent to support customers’ requirements for improving operational efficiency, driving better returns and increasing the sustainability of their businesses. A people-based ecosystem driving digital transformation is the key enabler to achieving these strategic objectives on the African continent. DI will expand its ecosystem of customers and partners who want to adopt technologies to enable their digital transformation. Leveraging existing indigenous knowledge and skills and creating new skills pools is the key differentiator.

In East Africa, the regional footprint will be led by Kenyan operations AVEVA Select East Africa and the Nigerian representative offices AVEVA Select West Africa will take on a similar role in West Africa. Both these operations are also investing heavily in establishing training and demonstration centres to build these skills pools and to equip system integrators, partner companies and end-users with skills to enable them to maximize the use of the technology and to customize the service offerings available.

The coveted ‘AVEVA Select Partner’ designation allows distributors to enable customers simplify design, optimize production, and maximize performance. By leveraging the breadth of the AVEVA software portfolio, AVEVA Select partners can take advantage of programs designed to suit every product and solution specialization in the engineering and industrial segments. The AVEVA Select Program offers an effective way for partners to penetrate new markets and build upon existing solutions and local relationships.

The AVEVA Select partnership has accelerated the value that DI can provide, empowering their customers and partners to optimize engineering, operations, and asset performance. A common digital thread across all enterprise pillars is enabling a new level of Performance Intelligence using bedrock technologies from Artificial Intelligence (AI), Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), big data to the cloud and hybrid solutions.

With AVEVA’s Engineering solutions, they can assist customers in efficiently delivering capital projects on time and within budget. The AVEVA Operations suite eliminates supply chain value leaks while improving operational efficiency and enhancing collaboration. DI can also empower customers and partners to balance operating expenses and risk to optimize performance with AVEVA Asset Performance Management.

“Digital Industries’ customers and partners will continue to get the same dedicated local support, now with the added value of wider access to AVEVA’s complete portfolio of solutions, which enables a new level of Performance Intelligence using technologies such as AI, IIoT, big data and cloud. The AVEVA Select program helps our distributors to deliver even more value and support their customers digital transformation initiatives,” said Kerry Grimes, AVEVAs Global Head of Partners. “We are pleased to extend Digital Industries coverage as an AVEVA Select partner and look forward to developing and capitalizing on mutually beneficial growth strategies.”

“The Industrial sector in Africa is the final frontier for at scale digital transformation. Leaders in industry are adopting strategies for digital transformation across the continent. The market for industrial software and services is increasing exponentially and growth will be driven by customer value creation. As an AVEVA Select partner, we are on a journey to create sustainable digital champions. We look forward to industrial organizations joining us,” concluded Dion Govender, CEO of Digital Industries and Managing Director of IS³.

    Midrand, Gauteng, South Africa

    Quality, innovation and, above all, consistency, are the hallmarks of L’Oréal products – and that’s why accurate batch management is of such importance to the company that has led the cosmetics industry for more than a century. But there’s more to quality production than excellent batch management.

    About L’Oréal South Africa

    The company was established in 1963 and has five divisions: L’Oréal Manufacturing in Midrand and four operating divisions, namely Professional Products Division, L’Oreal Luxe, Active Cosmetics Division and the Consumer Products Division.

    The company employs more than 500 people, which is regarded as the group’s gateway to the African continent.

    L’Oréal’s manufacturing plant, located in Midrand, is responsible for the production of Softsheen-Carson hair care and toiletry products which are exported throughout Africa, Europe and the Middle East. The plant also manufactures Garnier deodorants for the local market.

    The plant, combined with a state-of-the-art distribution centre in Centurion, constitutes an essential component of the company’s development.

    Background

    Production at L’Oréal’s Midrand manufacturing plant depends on the operation of two “skids”. A skid is an assembly of a group of modular pieces into a single unit. This includes mixing tanks, storage tanks and CIP systems among others. All tanks, pumps, valves, heat exchangers, instrumentation and controls are factory-assembled and tested prior to shipment.

    Simply put, a skid is an entire “process system in a box.” It arrives at the processing facility ready to be plugged into the power and utilities with little on-site construction required. There is very little production downtime and unforeseen start-up delays can be discovered and corrected before the equipment ever leaves the manufacturing facility.

    Prior to this project, each skid had software and hardware. There were different standards for each skid, the software was past its end-of-life cycle, the hardware was obsolete and overloaded and there was no disaster-recovery plan.

    So the project goals focused on mitigating the risk posed by unsupported legacy systems, modernising and streamlining the manufacturing process and consolidating the various server platforms required for production.

     

    Implementation
    For L’Oréal, the way forward consisted of selecting an AVEVA systems integrator and implementing some important upgrade initiatives. The chosen system integrator was Control Systems Integration (CSI) and the upgrade initiatives included:

    Assigning dedicated server roles after a strategic decision was made to implement virtual servers. Virtualisation was acknowledged to reduce infrastructure costs while increasing maintainability and flexibility.

    L’Oréal already had an investment in Wonderware (now AVEVA) solutions including InTouch, InControl, InBatch (including extensive training) and InSQL (old Historian) so it made sense to continue building on these assets.

    “ArchestrA is a good integration platform and AVEVA System Platform enables future integration of other [IS³] solutions like MES,” says CSI System Engineer Rikus Wouda. “Also, ArchestrA and InBatch are proven technologies with a huge support base and InBatch (now AVEVA Batch Management), as well as simplifying the configuration of complex batch processes, integrates well with System Platform.”

    InControl (a PC-based software version of a PLC), however, had been discontinued and one of the first tasks was to reverse-engineer its functionality in order to transfer the well-designed S88 standards to the new PLC.

    The rest of the software was upgraded to their latest versions where AVEVA Batch Management was used for operations management and InTouch continued its role as HMI and supervisory controller. The ArchestrA-based System Platform was introduced as the integration layer while Historian and Information Server were used for information management.

    “For the sake of better efficiency and control and the fact that operators can switch between manual control and [AVEVA Batch Management], we wanted to communicate with the PLC through one ArchestrA object,” says CSI Senior Systems Engineer Nkhensani Mbanyele. “So we configured a single master ArchestrA object that receives the [AVEVA Batch Management] model as well as inputs from InTouch and which then communicates these to the PLC.”

     

    Conclusion
    With this virtualisation project, L’Oréal was able to mitigate the risk associated with overloaded and obsolete hardware and by upgrading their MES/MOM and HMI capabilities to the latest technologies the company reduced the business risk associated with legacy systems that had exceeded their life cycles.

    The result was better-informed personnel, improved system design and reliability as well as reduced hardware support effort and cost through virtualisation of the manufacturing servers.
