Industry Background

With the enhancement of environmental awareness and the growing demand for resource recycling, shredders play an increasingly vital role in the waste treatment and recycling industry.

 However, traditional mechanical operations rely on manual monitoring and empirical judgment, which are not only inefficient but also fail to meet the high demands for accuracy and real-time performance in modern production. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an efficient and intelligent data acquisition solution to enable real-time monitoring and analysis of equipment status, thereby enhancing the automation level and operational efficiency of the entire production line.

Industry Pain Points

1. Data Silos: Lack of effective interconnection among production equipment leads to underutilization of data.
2. High Maintenance Costs: Relying on human resources for troubleshooting and maintenance is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
3. Insufficient Predictive Maintenance: Lack of real-time data support results in maintenance that is often reactive rather than proactive.

System Solution

In response to the aforementioned challenges, WideIOT offers a shredder PLC data acquisition system based on industrial gateways.

 The core of this solution lies in using industrial gateway devices to connect and acquire data from PLC equipment, leveraging edge computing capabilities for real-time data processing, and transmitting key information to a cloud platform. This enables remote monitoring of equipment operating status and working parameters, facilitating the detection of abnormal faults and the implementation of measures to ensure the safe and stable operation of production.

System Functions

1. Data Acquisition: Real-time collection of multidimensional data on shredder operating parameters, such as temperature, pressure, and rotational speed, along with the generation of visual data reports.

2. Intelligent Early Warning: Utilizing intelligent alarm rules to automatically notify via WeChat, SMS, email, etc., when abnormal data is detected, taking measures to avoid production downtime.

3. Visual Management: Providing a user-friendly interface and an easily editable configuration cloud platform, enabling managers to intuitively understand equipment status and process configurations.

4. Remote Maintenance: Allowing engineers to remotely access equipment through secure network channels for PLC program upload and download operations, reducing the need for personnel travel.

5. Breakpoint Continuation: Ensuring data security and integrity through gateway breakpoint continuation and multi-network mutual backup functions, establishing data management norms.
