This paper presents the work carried out in order to improve one of the areas of a factory plant, integrating it within the factory using different communication standards. The implementation described satisfies a set of data flow requirements and claims to be an example of different vendors and technologies integration. Distribution transformers have always been dried within ovens heated for the effect. This drying process has several drawbacks: a low efficiency, dependence on the transformer volume and requiring a long time to complete. The new approach, presented in this paper, eliminates all those constraints.
