Digitization of 80/40 and 60/30 cranes with Dragsa On-premise at Navantia
Company
Navantia, a leading public company in the naval and defense sector, with a large fleet of industrial cranes that are critical for manufacturing, assembly, and maintenance operations in shipyards.
Challenge
Update and unify the digitization of the 60/30 TN and 80/40 TN cranes, migrating from a hybrid solution based on Dragsa and Siemens MindSphere to Dragsa's complete ecosystem in an on-premise installation, enabling comprehensive asset management without dependence on external platforms.
Problem
- Dependence on external cloud solutions: The use of MindSphere added complexity to the management of users, permissions, and communications.
- Fragmented architecture: Asset digitization was not centralized on a single platform.
- Customization limitations: Integration with third parties restricted the adaptation of the system to actual operational needs.
- Data security and sovereignty requirements: It was necessary to maintain total control of information within Navantia's infrastructure.
Solution
How we do it?
Surcontrol implemented Dragsa's complete ecosystem on-premise, eliminating dependence on MindSphere and centralizing all asset management on a single platform.
The crane PLCs were directly integrated with Dragsa, enabling:
- Real-time monitoring of statuses, loads, cycles, and alarms.
- Centralized management of users, permissions, and roles.
- Advanced visualization through customized dashboards.
- Historical data logging for analysis, maintenance, and traceability.
The solution was specifically adapted to each type of crane, ensuring consistent, scalable digitization that is fully controlled by Navantia.
Results
- Complete digitization of the 60/30 and 80/40 TN cranes with Dragsa on-premise.
- Elimination of external cloud dependencies and greater data sovereignty.
- Improved decision-making thanks to historical data and advanced analytics.
- Scalable, secure platform aligned with Navantia's industry standards.
