Meet Viral Singh Solanki, whose innovative solutions are bridging the gap in smart window manufacturing
Viral Singh not only designed the bridge; He had first-hand knowledge of how manufacturers operate on the shop floor.
The smart glass industry is a fast-growing market with huge opportunities for energy-efficient buildings. However, integrating advanced manufacturing execution systems (MES) with existing legacy systems can be a major challenge. These systems, usually obsolete and out of step with new technologies, can act as barriers to easy transfer of information and efficient product management. Viralsinh Solanki's unique combination of IT expertise and product knowledge has made View, Inc. one of the leaders in smart window manufacturing. helped overcome these threats. In this context, it would be important to explore some of the issues addressed by Viral Singh, a member of the prestigious International Association of Honored Developers (IAHD), with his innovative solutions.
Building bridges to seamless integration
Marrying a new MES system with your old legacy system can be difficult, requiring retrofitting. Data structures differ greatly from one system to another in terms of their organization and storage methods of data. This creates several communication gaps that delay progress. For example, View Inc. Here, a new MES designed to handle real-time production data and a well-established yet disjointed data system used for inventory control or order processing purposes was required to facilitate streamlined information dissemination. Otherwise, this would have led to manual entry of data into both systems, resulting in delays and errors in production steps.
Viral Singh not only designed the bridge; He had first-hand knowledge of how manufacturers operate on the shop floor. With this deep understanding, he ensured that all relevant information required by the MES was accurately captured in his model for data transfer. He led the implementation team, thus ensuring that the MES fit perfectly into the workflows already established at View Inc. Furthermore, his ability to think ahead, having worked closely with factory workers, allowed him to prepare contingency plans during transitions. period so that there is no interference during the first few months when both the systems are running simultaneously. Viralsingh came up with a data transfer model for seamless information flow, which enabled his company to upgrade this critical manufacturing system and leverage advanced MES while keeping standard operations unaffected.
Configuration and planning for smooth implementation
It's like trekking through a maze when you start implementing a new MES system. Care must be taken during planning and installation to avoid confusion. Viralsingh's computer science major made this challenge easier at View Inc. As the plan unfolded, his knowledge of system configuration came into play. During this phase, he and his team thoroughly studied the company's existing workflow practices. This necessitated a review of specific data requirements for their electrochromic window manufacturing process, including specifications such as glass coats and tints that are unique to each piece produced.
“Our manufacturing processes were so complex that we had to bring in an MES specifically tailored to our needs,” explains Viralsingh. “Each step must be carefully planned to ensure a smooth integration. We did extensive research into workflow and data mapping so that the MES perfectly matched our production requirements. Such caution during the project planning phase ensured a seamless transition and optimized the performance of the new system.
Thus, Viralsingh can properly configure the MES as per these requirements. In addition, View Inc. His understanding of how manufacturing processes work has helped ensure optimal alignment between them and MES. A well-configured MES is not just a collector but the ability to gather the necessary data, facilitating informed decision-making and improved production efficiency.
Building a secure fortification to protect data
MES systems store huge amounts of sensitive data, ranging from trade secrets about smart window technology to product parameters that can give competitors an edge. Security Best Practices in IT as understood by Viralsinh View Inc. There are factors that ensure that valuable data is safe.
He also participated in deploying strong defense mechanisms such as encrypting information, controlling user access, and securing the network. Encrypting data changes it so that it cannot be understood by anyone without the decryption key. “Security was our main concern,” notes Viralsingh. “We have used sophisticated encryption techniques and access controls to protect our valuable data from potential breaches. This includes encrypting all sensitive data to prevent unauthorized access, as well as multi-factor authentication, which guarantees that only authorized personnel can access the MES while enabling real-time network monitoring for suspicious activity, allowing us to protect our intellectual property and product Helped protect secrets. from cyber attacks.
User access controls keep unauthorized people out of the MES system and its specific datasets. Network safeguards include firewalls and other mechanisms to monitor incoming or outgoing traffic for the purpose of preventing unauthorized access attempts. These solutions limit unauthorized breaches but allow authorized personnel to access them. By building this secure fortress around the MES system, Viralsingh ensured the confidentiality of View Inc.'s intellectual property and product secrets.
Based on all his achievements, extensive experience and high level of professionalism, Viralsingh Solanki was rightly invited to become a member of the International Association of Honored Developers (IAHD). This prestigious organization accepts only the best following strict criteria in their selection process. Organizers carefully evaluate each candidate's contribution, ensuring that it represents significant progress and has had a profound impact in their respective fields.
Viralsingh Solanki's innovative solution to View, Inc. Here the challenges posed by the integration of new MES systems into legacy systems were addressed. Working on creating an interface for data transfer, developing a configuration plan and implementing strong security measures, they ensured that there was no disruption when changing some of the most sensitive information on the platform, enabling the company to shift its production environment towards a more efficient, secure one. Which will prove future in the smart window industry.
