Automation equipment centered around PLCs serves as the frontline equipment in factory production activities, directly controlling production and processing processes, and boasting advantages such as automation and intelligence. In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the demand for PLC retrofitting across various types of equipment. However, the diversity and widespread distribution of these devices pose challenges for manufacturers' after-sales operation and maintenance.

Industry Pain Points:

1. Isolated Equipment Operation: Devices operate in standalone mode, lacking centralized monitoring and management tools, making it difficult to assess and analyze maintenance quality.
2. High Customer Expectations: Customers demand rapid fault resolution to minimize losses from production downtime.
3. Widespread Equipment Distribution: Faults require on-site maintenance visits, resulting in high costs and low efficiency.
