31-Jan-2019. Elsis TS signed a contract with Yokogawa Europe Solutions B.V. (the Netherlands) for the provision of services for the implementation of the SCADA IS (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition and Telemetry) information system for the gas transmission system of AB Amber Grid. The subcontracting services will be provided jointly with UAB Elsis PRO.

The telemetry system currently used during the execution of the contract will be split into two separate systems: a remote process control and management system (SCADA IS) and a gas metering data acquisition information system (DAPDS IS).

The SCADA part will be replaced by a newer, more modern, technologically advanced system with significant scope for further development and modernisation. It is based on the FAST/TOOLS® software product, designed, developed and widely used worldwide by Yokogawa Electric Corporation, for the efficient management of production and technological processes.

Successful implementation of the project will allow for increased reliability of gas transmission and flexibility in system management to achieve the objectives set out in the National Energy Independence Strategy.

The project will contribute to the further modernisation and development of the main gas pipelines operated by Amber Grid AB, in order to ensure management efficiency and safety.

The project works are scheduled to be completed by 30 November 2019.

The project is financed by EU funds investments (2014-2020).

14-Jan-2019. Elsis TS has signed a contract with the Fisheries Service under the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Lithuania for the supply of special purpose products (goods).

The contract will provide special purpose products: acoustic signal receivers, batteries and acoustic coded fish markers. This equipment will provide data on fish migration, which is crucial for identifying the most suitable spawning grounds for fish in the upper reaches of the river, and will allow researchers to work more efficiently and thus contribute to increasing fish populations.

The equipment will be used to monitor salmon, sea bream, gillnets, gurnard, common shad and other captured fish in the Tauragė district, the Jura and Anča rivers.

The equipment is scheduled to be delivered by 14 February 2019.

29-Nov-2018. Elsis TS has signed a contract with Amber Grid AB for the implementation of a gas metering data collection system (DAPDS IS) for the gas transmission system. The contract partners (subcontractors) are Yokogawa Polska and Elsis PRO.

During the execution of the contract, a completely new information system will be installed, which will ensure the collection of gas metering data from gas volume conversion devices (flow computers, PTZ-correctors) and their log records (Logs), the log recorders of the chromatographs and/or chromatograph controllers and transferring them to the DAPDS database and further secure transfer of the data to the information system of the gas transmission system operator (Amber Grid AB) and the users of the system for efficient management of the gas flows and for the interactive exchange of information.

The project work is scheduled to be completed by 30 November 2019.

The project is supported by EU funds investments (2014-2020).
