Piramal Glass transforms its manufacturing operations with Microsoft Azure IoT

Mumbai, Nov 20 (UNI) Piramal Glass, a global specialist in design, production, and decoration of glass packaging (flaconnage) solutions for Pharmaceutical, Cosmetics and Perfumery, and Specialty Food and Beverage industries, has deployed Microsoft's Azure IoT platform to digitally transform its manufacturing operations.
An early adopter of the technology, Piramal Glass has currently implemented the solution, Real-Time Manufacturing Insights (RTMI), on 46 production lines across their four plants at Kosamba and Jambusar in Gujarat, India, Sri Lanka and the USA.
The plants have an overall capacity of 1375 tonnes per day, with 12 furnaces and 60 production lines, all of which run on a 24/7 basis.
Piramal Glass has leveraged IoT to get real-time visibility into its line manufacturing operations and to analyse production line losses at various stages.
Using Azure IoT Hub, Microsoft helped Piramal Glass acquire data from sensors on production lines to identify quality parameters at each stage and get insights on line efficiencies in real-time.
This resulted in improved production efficiency and cost reduction up to 70 per cent as compared to a glass industry manufacturing execution system (MES).
Vijay Shah, Director - Piramal Glass & Executive Director - Piramal Enterprises Ltd, said, "As the world's most preferred supplier of glass packaging solutions, Piramal Glass is committed to continuously adding value to its customers. We are happy to have collaborated with Microsoft on our journey towards digital transformation and business critical future readiness. Glass manufacturing is a complex process with many interactive variables. Combining digital technologies with precision
high-quality glass manufacturing, has helped us fortify our accelerated growth path."
The Azure IoT platform enabled Piramal Glass to connect and monitor their equipment to gain real-time visibility into operational data that was previously unavailable, according to a statement on Tuesday.
The technology integration was designed for fast and easy set-up to rapidly showcase the results and build on its existing sensors, equipment, systems, and data.
Sashi Sreedharan, Managing Director, Microsoft India, said, "Microsoft is committed towards the technological advancement of the manufacturing sector in India. We are excited to partner with Piramal Glass as they create a strong foundation for driving transformational change. It is significant that Microsoft technology enabled plant operations to continue as usual during the rollout of the Azure IoT solution, ensuring no disruption to the core manufacturing and deep integration with critical
business processes."
