Many medium scales & Large-scale industries have their own

Unfortunately, day by day Fossil fuels are degrading & due

Combustion has been the cornerstone of industrial
development for nearly two centuries. The burning of fuel to
produce heat or other forms of power is an integral part of
industrial processes. Combustion is a type of chemical process
in which a significant material reacts rapidly with oxygen
and gives off heat. The original material is called the fuel,
and the source of oxygen is called the oxidizer. During the
combustion process, flue gases such as Carbon Monoxide (CO),
Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Sulfur (SO2), Nitrogen Dioxide (NOx),
Nitric Oxide (NO), Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and
Hydrocarbons (HCs) are generated as a chemical process.

that create the most efficient combustion, the burner is said to

Controlling combustion ratios to the optimal minimum excess

burner exhaust oxygen content and temperature allows for

To ensure the combustion efficiency of fuel is high and flue gas

Optimum excess air input results in the most desirable
combustion, where CO2 is at its peak, CO is minimized to a
safe level, fuel is completely burned and efficiency is at its peak.
The amount of CO, unburned fuel and other harmful
emissions is strongly dependent on how well the burner mixes
the fuel and air. For a high-performance burner, the maximum
combustion efficiency typically occurs between 1-2% excess

Optimum excess oxygen levels are achieved in the field by
measuring exhaust components with a multi-gas analyser and
making adjustments to the fuel and air control devices.

lifespan and it can result in company’s poor productivity, lack
of visibility, high maintenance costs, security issues, and even
financial meltdown. Also, legacy ERP system does not include
appropriate technologies or tools to handle modern business
requirements. It could even create lots of confusion and
workarounds.

Difference Between Legacy ERP and SolutionOne ERP
VS
Legacy ERP SolutionOne ERP
Lack of IT expertise and Business Knowledge Depth Industrial Knowledge and expertise
Communication Gap with users through system Stay connected with your teams
Unable to assign and monitor tasks. Assigns and monitor task activity
Do not support real-time data sharing Track daily business operations
Lack of analysis of existing processes Customer-driven system and process
Anxiety arising out of a massive downsizing Real-time insights for better decisions
Poor Focus on Customers Reduction of Errors and Duplication
Data storage and security issues Can be scaled to any level
Failing to Adapt to Industry Needs Can be customized without much coding.
Lack of Scalability Centralized System Access from anywhere
Needs extensive coding to customize Share real-time information across departments
Scaling up is difficult Can be host On-site or Cloud server
Unable to Handle New Regulations Protecting digital information from unauthorized access
Lack of innovation Can integrate well with other systems
Upgrades take more time than modern ERP systems More Detailed Reporting and Analytics
Difficulty integrating with other systems Fast ROI & Low Cost of Ownership
Limiting the availability of data and reports Reduced Operational Costs
Maintenance & support costs are high & response time is slow And lot more.
