PLC Elevator Data Acquisition and Remote Monitoring System Solution

Industry Background
Elevators, as crucial vertical transportation equipment in construction projects, play a significant role in ensuring project progress and quality. With the development of IoT technologies, applying IoT to elevator monitoring, operation, and maintenance management systems has become a trend.

 Real-time monitoring and data analysis can enhance elevator safety performance, reduce accident risks, and improve project efficiency.

Industry Pain Points

1. Frequent Safety Incidents: Safety accidents occur frequently due to improper elevator operation, equipment failures, etc., posing severe threats to personnel life and property safety.
2. High Manual Monitoring Costs: Traditional manual monitoring methods require substantial manpower and are inefficient, failing to meet the demands of large-scale projects.
3. Inaccurate Data: Manual monitoring is prone to errors, and biases may exist during data collection, transmission, and processing.
4. Limited Monitoring Scope: Traditional monitoring methods struggle to achieve comprehensive, real-time monitoring of elevators.
5. Delayed Emergency Response: In abnormal situations, traditional monitoring methods often fail to promptly detect and respond, leading to accident escalation.

Solution
By deploying WideIOT industrial smart gateways at elevator sites for data acquisition and real-time communication, and connecting the data to a monitoring platform, it enables monitoring and management of equipment location distribution, quantity types, operational status, working parameters, alarm information, and maintenance work orders.

This ensures timely management and control of faults, maintaining a safe and stable production environment.

1. Establishing the Perception Layer: Install various sensors, such as height sensors, speed sensors, and load sensors, to access the WideIOT industrial smart gateway and perform real-time acquisition and monitoring of key elevator parameters.
2. Constructing the Transmission Layer: Utilize wireless communication technologies like 4G and 5G to transmit data collected by the perception layer to cloud servers, providing a stable data communication network for distributed devices.
3. Building the Application Layer: Analyze and process the collected data, and achieve visual display. Strengthen management levels through real-time monitoring, early warning, and maintenance management of elevator status.

System Functionalities

1. Data Acquisition: Real-time acquisition and monitoring of key elevator parameters, including height, load, voltage, and current.
2. Intelligent Analysis: Statistically analyze the collected data, generate reports and charts, and provide a basis for production decision-making.
3. Fault Alarm: Automatically send alarm information via WeChat, SMS, and email when monitored data exceeds preset thresholds.
4. Maintenance Management: Record, manage, and schedule various elevator maintenance work orders to improve maintenance efficiency.
