The bucket wheel stacker-reclaimer, also known as the bucket wheel stacker, is specialized machinery used in ports and large bulk material storage yards for stacking and reclaiming bulk materials such as coal, ores, and grains.

 In the construction of smart ports, bucket wheel stacker-reclaimers are no longer just simple mechanized tools but have been endowed with higher intelligence, automation, and networking features, becoming a crucial driving force for efficient port operations and green development.

During port material handling operations, due to the harsh outdoor environment and frequent machine movements, wired monitoring systems are prone to damage.

 Simultaneously, the long distances and unstable WiFi communications with significant latency pose challenges. In response to these issues, WideIOT offers a 5G remote monitoring IoT system solution for smart port bucket wheel stacker-reclaimers, providing efficient and reliable operational support for port activities.

By integrating the WideIOT 5G Industrial Gateway with bucket wheel stacker-reclaimer PLCs, DCSs, HMIs, and other devices, data can be collected and transmitted via 5G networks to on-site monitoring screens or cloud platforms.

 This enables remote monitoring, fault alarms, remote control, video surveillance, and data management functions for the bucket wheel stacker-reclaimers. Furthermore, data analysis techniques are employed to drive continuous improvements and enhancements, comprehensively elevating the management level and responsiveness of smart ports.

Functional Characteristics

1. Real-time Data Transmission: Data such as the position, material flow rate, material height, and material temperature of the bucket wheel stacker-reclaimer are transmitted in real-time to the remote monitoring center via 5G networks.

    Additionally, it provides reliable internet access for multiple cameras, enabling real-time monitoring of the bucket wheel stacker-reclaimer's operational status, work progress, fault information, and on-site video feeds.

2. Automatic Alarming: Through predefined alarm rules, the system can automatically detect abnormal data and notify relevant personnel via WeChat, SMS, email, etc.

    In the event of emergencies, remote control capabilities enable immediate action, prompting staff to take timely measures and ensure the safe and stable operation of the bucket wheel stacker-reclaimer.

3. Centralized Equipment Monitoring and Management: The system facilitates centralized monitoring, management, and configuration of multiple devices through a single platform, reducing personnel costs and workload. It allows for real-time viewing of equipment operating parameters, alarm frequencies, and other information from anywhere, at any time. Additionally, the data can be shared with the smart port system to enable reasonable regulation of port bulk material handling efficiency and storage and transportation levels.
