DESCRIPTION AND SCOPE 

​​The oil and gas industry must continually adapt and reinvent itself in order to maintain control of its performance. We are arriving at an industrial transition where digital occupies a fundamental part in the production environment, making all information accessible and usable to follow trends and make the best decisions in a given context. 
The integration of new products as well as the sustainability of current product support within the InfoPath-based digital platform are jeopardized by the possible upcoming obsolescence of Microsoft. 
In addition, the harmonization of production support systems in each product line becomes necessary to centralize data, optimize application maintenance and improve fluidity of use. Thus, we are targeting a soft transition to a latest generation digital SCADA platform, a newer and more advanced solution with a sustainable future, based on the Ignition by Inductive Automation application. This new system must adapt to the current and future digital environment to complement the functionalities with a constantly evolving eco-system.​ 

DELIVERABLES 

​​The objective of this internship is to :

- Understand the manufacturing process of different products and cells;

- Analyze the functionalities of existing production support systems, to study the automated data flows between each form;

- Evaluate how to integrate new machines, or product lines into the digital architecture before migrating the current digital platform to the new SCADA platform;

- Propose an architecture of pages on a SCADA platform allowing the user simple and fluid;

- Simplify the transfer of data from the new digital platform to the quality management system (managed under SAP) in order to avoid copy failures, improve product traceability and streamline information;

- Create project documentation in order to perpetuate the application and be able to adapt to future developments. He will be a source of suggestions for improvement opportunities, listening to the needs of internal customers, and in close communication with the production teams and the Digital team. The use of bar code readers or any other IoT system could be considered to simplify the user interface. A few small tasks on the PLC programming, the HMI display or the manufacturing network can be proposed with the aim of continuous improvement.​
