Industrial
Plant data, stores, and the screens on a shop floor.
The TVS plant at Nalagarh, Pernod Ricard warehouse and load-testing apps, plant-wide sensor dashboards over ModBUS and Zigbee, and wireless text to LED boards.
What makes the work specific
Units are producing data nobody can see together
The Nalagarh brief was real-time data from different operating units, then a single interface to manage and display it.
The store is visible only to the person standing in it
The warehouse system was asked to show all material and to arrange it FIFO or LIFO.
Notices on the floor go stale
LED boards that require a visit will show yesterday’s message. The published fix is wireless text from an interface.
Relevant systems
Data logging and display
A software interface over operating-unit data, as delivered for TVS at Nalagarh.
Warehouse visibility
Material on screen, with the arrangement rule the store actually uses.
Shop-floor messaging
Text to LED boards, and the related signage work for TVs under subscription authentication.

Named and unnamed
Named
TVS, Nalagarh plant. The scope published is the data interface, not the plant’s entire technology estate.
Described, not named
The warehouse client and the LED-board client are not named in the public write-ups. The behaviour of the systems is.
Not in this record
No MES suite, no robotics programme, and no claim of a multi-country factory rollout.

- Did you work with TVS?
- The project record says the TVS plant at Nalagarh wanted real-time data from its operating units, and that SWS built the software interface for managing and displaying that data.
- Can you connect this to ERP?
- OpenERP incorporation is a separate published project, delivered for Advance Technology’s end client. A plant-to-ERP link would be a new scope. We do not pretend the logger project already did it.
- Do you install sensors?
- The published deliverable is the software and the transmission path. On-site sensor installation is not described.
