9. System Optimisation From hard coded buttons to a dynamic routing module…

10. Project Goals As the port expands hard-coded route buttons are added exponentially. ► Technical Goal: Design a dynamic routing system Operations and management need to keep track of material and therefore the routes need to be recorded. ► Business Goal: Design a routing module which interfaces with the current Material Tracking System (MTS)

19. Demonstration Instead of… DEMO

20. Demo ► Starting and stopping a route

22. Demo ► No available route

24. Demo ► The long way around

26. Demo ► A tripped conveyor

28. Agenda Introduction Project Solution Benefits Considerations Summary

29. Goals Achieved ► Technical Goal: Design a dynamic routing system ► Business Goal: Design a routing module which interfaces with the current Material Tracking System (MTS)

30. Future projects ► Scalability and flexibility ► The module is not only linked to this set of conveyors but is rather applicable to any series of equipment.

31. Agenda Introduction Project Solution Benefits Considerations Summary

32. Lessons Learnt ► Do it right the first time. ► Factory Acceptance Tests (FATs) make commissioning quick and efficient. ► Templates allow for easy expansion. ► Try to avoid new releases of software

33. Agenda Introduction Project Solution Benefits Considerations Summary

34. Conclusions ► ArchestrA’s functionality and object orientated environment allowed us to develop a personal solution based on industry related and internationally accepted standards.

35. Project Summary “It’s like using your GPS…enter start and end destinations and it will find the shortest route.” “It’s so much better than all those buttons that you had to search through to find a route” ~ Adenaan Jassiem Senior Instrumentation Technician Saldanha Port The project was delivered and commissioned on time.
