Power stations of Alba accelerate Industry 4.0 transformation with OPS

Aluminium Bahrain B.S.C. (Alba) has reached another milestone in its Industry 4.0 Transformational Journey by launching the Online Performance System (OPS) for its Power Stations.

In order to improve Alba's asset reliability, the Online Monitoring System will offer a digital plant performance dashboard and track plant degradation through digital Industry 4.0 and artificial intelligence (A.I.).

On April 4, 2023, Ali Al Baqali, the CEO of Alba, attended the inauguration ceremony in the presence of Amin Sultan, the Chief Power Officer and other senior officials in the Power Station department.

Speaking on this occasion, the CEO said, “The first step in our journey towards digital transformation is changing how we think and do our business. By integrating Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in our Power Assets, we will better control our Power Operations, leverage instant real data to boost our productivity and optimise our Power Plants’ performance.”

The Online Performance Monitoring System will enable Alba’s power stations to easily view the real-time and historical health and condition of equipment, create high-level reports, diagnose an equipment issue, automate routine calculations, display trends and diagnose plant performance.
