Elara CAS Sura

Main article: APCS - standard structure

The software and technical complex "SURA" was created by specialists of the engineering center of JSC "ELARA" and can be used both in the form of a distributed control system when creating complex full-scale APCS of power units, and in the format of local self-propelled guns for automation of individual technological facilities - pumping stations, compressor units, etc.

2022: Compatibility with the Triaflai BI Platform

On April 21, 2022, GKS (Systematics Group JSC) announced that together with Elara JSC it had tested the Triaflai BI platform and the SURA software and technical complex (Sura CAS) for compatibility.

As a result of the tests, it was confirmed that the Triaflai analytical platform and the SURA CAS provide compatibility within the requirements for information and analytical platforms, APCS and enterprise infrastructure management systems, and can be shared in a single information system. The software and technical complex "SURA" was developed by specialists of JSC "ELARA" to create APCS and local self-propelled guns that provide operational control of equipment, primarily for electric power enterprises. SUR CAS can also be used in enterprises for which the functioning of infrastructure (energy, heat, water supply, etc.) is a critical factor, in particular for medical institutions.

"Triaflai" is the Russian BI a platform (created by Trusted Environment""), a designer of information and analytical solutions, which has the capabilities processing large amounts of data and tools visualization to support management decision-making processes.

BI-platform "Triaflai" in the framework of joint work with CAS "SURA" will provide collection, accumulation and processing of data coming from APCS controllers and infrastructure management systems. Based on the collection and analysis of accumulated data, the system can generate reports that will provide an opportunity to detect certain deviations or changes in parameters during any periods in the operation of the infrastructure (energy equipment, heat supply systems). Thus, after further clarification of the reasons for the changes, it is possible to make appropriate control decisions on changing technological processes, equipment operation modes, carrying out preventive repairs, etc.

"The analytical platform, in conjunction with APCS, is becoming an important tool for saving costs, improving resource efficiency, maneuverability and competitiveness of the enterprise. An example is the management of the infrastructure of a large medical center. The infrastructure management system of such a center receives more than 10,000 signals per hour. The task of APCS is to respond to these signals, and the analytical platform will help to find out in which areas, for example, for a long time the energy consumption exceeded the usual values. This may not turn off the heating system of some room during non-working hours, and you need to change its on-off settings. As a result, electricity will be saved, and the released cash can be used to purchase additional. medical equipment Or, if we are talking about, production reorganize technological processes, produce more units of production, " explains Alexander Sapunov, head of the center of Industrial Engineering GKS

"From the point of view of business development, for GCS and ELARA JSC, opportunities are opened to offer APCS development functions to customers from among generating and network distribution companies in the electric power industry, industrial enterprises, as well as medical enterprises. It is important to take into account that the SURA CAS and the Triaflai BI platform are completely Russian developments, which is an important advantage in import substitution under sanctions, " noted Nikolay Prokofiev, Head of the Department for Work with Strategic Customers of the GKS

"The joint work of SURA CAS and Triaflai analytical platform provides an opportunity to informatively combine the technical and commercial services of the enterprise within the framework of the operation of automated operation systems (Facility Management) for the effective management of all services and ensuring the continuous operation of enterprises and branches," added Alexey Blum, deputy director of the engineering center of ELARA JSC
