Elara PTC Sura

Main article: APCS - typical structure

The software and hardware 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 ACS when automating individual process facilities - pump stations, compressor plants, etc.

2025: InfoDiod AMT Compatibility

The engineering center of JSC ELARA"" and AMT GROUP"" conducted tests and confirmed the compatibility of CAS "SURA" and the unidirectional transmission complex. data InfoDiode AMT AMT Group announced this on July 21, 2025. More. here

2022: Compatibility with the BI-platform "Triaflai"

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

As a result of the tests, it was confirmed that the analytical platform "Triaflai" and CAS "SURA" provide compatibility within the requirements for information and analytical platforms, APCS and enterprise infrastructure management systems, and can be jointly used in a single information system. The software and hardware complex "SURA" was developed by specialists of JSC "ELARA" to create PCS and local ACS, providing operational control of equipment, primarily for electric power enterprises. CAS "SURA" can also be used at 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 the company Trusted environment""), a designer of information and analytical solutions that has the capabilities processing large amounts of data and tools visualization to support the processes of making management decisions.

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

"The analytical platform in conjunction with the PCS is becoming an important tool for saving costs, increasing the efficiency of resource use, maneuverability and competitiveness of the enterprise. As an example of application, the infrastructure management of a large medical center can be cited. More than 10,000 signals per hour are received from the infrastructure element management system of such a center. The task of the PCS 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 power consumption exceeded the usual values. This may turn out to be a heating system for a room that is not turned off after hours, and it is necessary to change the settings for turning it on and off. As a result, electricity will be saved, and the released funds can be used to purchase additional medical equipment. Or, if we are talking about production, carry out a reorganization of technical processes, produce more units of products, " explains Alexander Sapunov, head of the Industrial Engineering Center of the Group of company Systematica

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

"The joint work of the SURA CAS and the Triaflai analytical platform enables the information association of technical and commercial services of the enterprise within the framework of the functioning of automated operation systems (Facility Management) to effectively manage all services and ensure the continuous operation of enterprises and branches," added Alexey Blum, Deputy Director of the Engineering Center of ELARA JSC
