IOT News

In smart factory projects, various PLC-controlled automated equipment are often encountered, enabling multi-machine monitoring and configuration monitoring through upper computers to achieve real-time sharing between the industrial equipment layer on the production floor and the enterprise operation and management layer.

 Among them, industrial IoT gateways play a crucial role in facilitating the visualization, digitization, and intelligent upgrading of management processes for products, production progress, production efficiency, quality information, and equipment operation, gradually realizing intelligent manufacturing.

Pain Points in Data Acquisition and Monitoring

1. Poor informationization foundation, where equipment has been operating for extended periods but much of the data cannot be acquired, preventing precise equipment status assessment.

2. Lack of necessary data for analyzing issues when faults occur, hindering comprehensive control over equipment details.

3. Inability to centrally display, manage, and analyze equipment operational data, process data, energy consumption data, and quality data.

Solution

By deploying the WideIOT Industrial IoT Gateway at industrial production sites, data from PLCs, instruments, industrial robots, CNC machine tools, sensors, and other equipment can be collected in real-time and uploaded to cloud platforms or upper computers via 5G/4G/WIFI/Ethernet, enabling real-time monitoring, alarm control, operation and maintenance management, and data analysis through cloud or local configuration, thereby supporting production monitoring and management and ensuring a safe and stable production order.

Functional Advantages

1. Supports data acquisition from PLCs, instruments, industrial robots, CNC machine tools, sensors, and other equipment.

2. Supports RS232/RS485/Ethernet data links and various industrial protocols such as Modbus and MQTT.

3. Performs automated and standardized data processing through cleaning, organizing, and filtering data.

4. Enables various alarm settings and notification methods, with alerts sent via WeChat, SMS, email, etc.

5. Facilitates remote PLC programming, debugging, and program uploading/downloading operations in conjunction with Device Express.

6. Provides a convenient cloud configuration platform with various visualization and functional controls for personalized editing.
