Industry visit to OCL with the 2nd batch Singapore students, as I reach there I have the feel of last year with the students, when we visited the whole factory for 2 hours before we ended up in the control room to look at how the IT System actually integrate with all the department. But this time round, it's totally different route we are taking, because of the rain, we ended up in the IT Control room department when we first reach the factory.
OCL is one of the biggest cement company in India where they supply cement all over rourkela and with their ISO 9001 Quality management they are the first most trusted brand in India.
The look in the control room, makes me feel so missing the first batch of students where we crowd around the system with curiosity and keep asking questions to gain more knowledge to finish our report. But this year round, I'm not so sure about the students but I guess because they didn't go through the factory first, so they don't know what to ask, what to expect and what to question.
As usual, i feel so bored during the industry visit, but sometimes, you just have to adapt with the environment, we just have to get use to it. So here's what I do, I look at the environment and focus on one part of the machine on what they doing, and out of a sudden, everything become interesting, I'm curious to know the material, the process, the product, so I make myself ask question. Like one of the bricks process, where they use 13.2kg of magnesium ore to form the brick, it is being press on by 16 tonnes of weight by the machine to form the brick, after which they will brush a layer of protective oil on the brick.
This type of brick actually are use by factory building because of their fire resistance. You must be asking doesn't normal brick already have normal resistance? But for normal brick wise, they can only hold up to 200 degree Celsius, but for this special design bricks, they can hold up to 18,000 degree Celsius.
Coming back for the second time, is not a waste of time, it's like another level of experiencing, maybe for the first time, I may miss something, and this time round, I did learn something out of what I have already went through.
