SPEED –
Customized backward-scheduling based PMP tool

SPEED – SAP enabled Project Management tool to Enhance Excellence of Deliverables
Highlights
 Clearly defined stages & work flow driven
 Deterministic demand to specific orders
 Continuous review for activity completion
 Effective project management for order completion
 Lead-time is consistent
 Easy to forecast
 Milestones set upfront at the start of the project

IT enabled Production Planning, Scheduling & Monitoring
• Weekly & daily production plans are finalized based on
SPEED plan
• Firm daily production plans are communicated through
digital displays in the respective cells & in the stores
• Actual production with respect to the targets - monitored
online & displayed

Valve Tracking - RFID
– Application:
• Hand held mobile application developed using
.Net
• Integration with SAP ERP ECC 6.0 using Web
service
– Hardware:
• Motorola MC919Z
• Mount on Metal Tags
– Key stakeholders
• QC, Central service & Customers
Physical tracking of valves as they pass through various
manufacturing process / stages.
– RFID tag for FG
Information to analyze and improve process
– Stages completion status
– Time spent at each stage
Process sync with current SAP order execution
transactions
Customer will know the valve details & QC related
documents.

Valve Tracking – RFID Tag
 Works on Radio Waves
 Having its Chip (I-Code SLIX) conforming to ISO/IEC 15693
 Easy to attach – Screwed or Stick type
 Operating Frequency  13.56 MHz
 Operating Mode  Passive (No in-built Battery)  Power supplied by Reader
 Operating Temperature  -25°C to + 85°C…Reach out to us for other environments
 Best covering range – 2 to 3 meters between RFID Reader & RFID Tag
 Rugged construction – Write Endurance of 100,000 cycles
 Highly Durable with Ingress Protection (IP 68)
 Flexible to Read / Write  Data Retention of 50 Years

Valve Tracking – RFID Reader
 Recommended Devices – Motorola Hand held Computers - MC9190 &
MC65 Series - Costing ~ 4,000 USD
 Customers to buy
 Highly Durable with Ingress Protection (IP 64)
 A tough, non-glare LCD screen allows for optimal reading in bright sunlight
and worry-free glass protection in rugged use
 Operating Temperature  -25°C to + 50°C

SMART SERVICES/
WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY

• L&T Valves found a unique application of wearable technology for the valve industry
• Customers can view our plant from their own offices via
employees wearing smart glass at our factory
• Inspection of manufactured valves – a critical requirement
in the valve industry – could now be done remotely by the
customer realizing cost savings in terms of travel/Third
Party inspectors
• Safe for the employees compared to camera which is obstructing the view; smart
glass keeps the background completely visible as per transparency settings
• Cost effective solution – costs around $1300 and may get cheaper as it gains
popularity
• We are now able to offer plant tours and audits to potential customers by proving
our manufacturing capability live over the wearable technology
Smart Glass – Wearable Technology

About the Smart Glass
Hardware
• EPSON – Moverio BT-350 Model
Software
• Brochesia

How it works
• Smart glass is worn by our users at factories. There is camera and
microphone in built in the smart glass.
• We provide login credentials to remote users (their email ID and a
password)
• The remote user clicks on link https://lntvalves.brochesia.cloud
• Once the remote user logs in, she or he can call any of our smart glass
users. The smart glass user has to accept the call. Alternately, the smart
glass user can call the remote user if the remote user is logged in.
• The remote user can see the factory on their laptop screen through the
camera in the smart glass and also hear the smart glass user through
the microphone on the smart glass.
• The remote user can be viewed by the smart glass user if the remote
user turns his webcam on and speak with remote user through his
laptop’s microphone.
