Ha Tien 1 Cement Joint Stock Company (XMHT 1) is the main unit of Vietnam Cement Corporation in the Southern region. Ha Tien 1 Cement is currently leading in terms of cement consumption in Region IV with 39% and accounts for about 8% of the national cement market share. The company’s distribution system is mainly concentrated in the region IV market with a wide and diverse distribution system with the ability to provide products to consumers in the most convenient way.
Ha Tien 1 Cement Factory has been put into operation since 2012 so there are some limitations in operation:
- The DCS software on the server computer is running on the 32-bit Windows XP Operating System and Microsoft no longer provides technical support for Windows XP since 2014
- The DCS server system is often overloaded and crashes because the computer uses 32-bit Windows operating system, so RAM is limited to 4GHz.
- Outdated computer hardware and unstable 24/7 continuous operation due to no industry standard
With existing limitations, ESEC was trusted by Ha Tien 1 Cement and given the responsibility to implement the project “Upgrading the DCS Eurotherm system” to solve the above problems. However, XMHT 1 also provides strict criteria that ESEC engineers must ensure to comply to bring the best results to customers:
- Time to complete the upgrade of the entire system within 4 days to coincide with the factory’s annual overhaul maintenance stop
