Industrial Switch Helps Petrochemical Industry To Be Intelligent and Digitalized

With the continuous growth of global energy demand, oil companies are facing fierce competition and severe challenges. Improving competitiveness and management level through digitalization and intelligence has become the only way for enterprise development.Especially with the gradual warming of 'Internet +', oilfield intelligence has the potential to form a trillion-dollar market. In recent years, companies such as Petro China and Sinopec have accelerated the construction of smart oil and gas fields and smart factories, which has also provided huge business opportunities for high-tech enterprises.In the short term, domestic Industrial Switches are expected to replace imported industrial switches.In the long run, realizing the complete autonomy and control of core software and hardware is the future development direction of the industry. Under the general trend of domestic substitution, domestic network equipment manufacturers are expected to turn challenges into opportunities, and the market share of industrial switches is expected to continue to increase.

The petrochemical industry is the lifeblood of the national economy, so the project investment has never been interrupted. This is also the market that industrial switches must pay attention to.The production in the petrochemical industry belongs to continuous production, and the first-level automation of the production line is relatively high.DCS, PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) and IPC (Industrial Personal Computer) systems have become the main control means for petrochemical enterprises.Industrial switches are mainly used in the communication of petroleum and petrochemical field monitoring equipment, such as video monitoring system communication, uploading of on-site I/O collection data, etc.

The petrochemical industry control system includes distributed control system (DCS) and programmable logic controller (PLC).PLC controllers are mainly oriented to industrial automation control, pursuing timing, and it is difficult to adapt to intelligent requirements such as data processing, data storage, and data analysis.Moreover, there are often dozens of industrial buses and industrial Ethernet buses on the site of petrochemical enterprises, and hundreds of controller suppliers around the world use different protocols.The intellectualization and digitization of factories of petrochemical enterprises are faced with great obstacles, and higher requirements are also placed on industrial switches.

Our industrial switch is specially designed for harsh industrial environments, with reliable redundant functions, can support long-distance optical transmission, can form single-ring, double-ring, tangent-ring, tree-type and bus-type networks, fully adaptable to a wide range of points. Complex networking coverage requirements make it an ideal choice for an automatic communication system for oil and gas industrial control and production.

Our industrial Internet solution based on software-defined control and process, with "software-defined" as the core concept, changes the traditional pyramid structure, realizes vertical connection from IT to OT, horizontal collaboration between IT systems, and OT to IT data-driven.Under the premise of ensuring information security, the chips, operating system, bus, hardware and industrial software of the solution are all of the independent intellectual property rights of Houshi, which are independently controllable.

Through the edge controller of "software-defined control", the solution realizes the replacement of multiple PLC/DCS by one device and realizes the unification of platform controllers.By using the IPv6-based broadband real-time bus AUTBUS to unify the existing network, the unification of the industrial control field communication protocol is realized, the network connection of the field layer sensors, instruments and actuators is simplified, the project deployment period is shortened, and the later maintenance difficulty is reduced.The edge controller unifies various computing devices and control devices at the control layer and monitoring layer, reducing the overall cost of the control system.The edge controller integrates IT and OT applications, and the control and computing are linked together, which improves the overall intelligence level of the system.

Adopt 100% autonomous and controllable industrial switches that can still be delivered under extreme conditions.Provides priority-based time slice scheduling using time-sensitive network industrial switches.Time-sensitive network industrial switches can realize low-latency and deterministic transmission of critical data and non-critical data from field-level devices to the cloud, ensuring the real-time and bandwidth of critical business data.

Today, we are no longer a pure industrial switch equipment supplier, but a comprehensive solution provider. In cloud computing, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, etc., we build smart oil fields from upstream to downstream for petroleum and petrochemical industries, Smart refining, smart pipelines, and smart sales have completed the transformation from the most important ICT infrastructure provider to an informatization strategic partner, and won a place in the core of petroleum and petrochemical enterprises.
