As the core equipment for crushing and sand-making operations in mining, construction, and road engineering projects, the operational efficiency and stability of sand making machines directly impact project progress and product quality. During operation, sand making machines involve real-time monitoring and adjustment of multiple key parameters, including motor speed, feed rate, discharge particle size, vibration intensity, and bearing temperature.

However, traditional operation and maintenance methods rely on on-site inspections and manual recording, which suffer from slow response times, difficulties in fault localization, and high maintenance costs. To enhance the operation and maintenance management level of sand making machines and achieve intelligent and remote monitoring and maintenance, WideIOT has formulated a remote monitoring, operation, and maintenance management system solution based on industrial data acquisition gateways.

In this regard, WideIOT can deploy industrial data acquisition gateways to connect with the Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) of sand making machines, enabling real-time collection of equipment operational status and process parameters. These gateways then interface with the equipment operation and maintenance management platform via 5G/4G networks, facilitating functions such as remote monitoring of key operational data, abnormal alarms, remote control, remote maintenance, and data analysis for sand making machines, thereby helping to comprehensively improve the reliability and operation and maintenance efficiency of the sand-making process.

Implemented Functions

1. Rapid Integration and Real-time Data Collection: The industrial data acquisition gateway can quickly interface with the existing PLCs or sensors of sand making machines, collecting core parameters such as motor speed, feed rate, discharge particle size, vibration intensity, and bearing temperature in real time. These data are then stably uploaded to the cloud platform via 4G/5G networks. The platform displays equipment operational status and real-time process parameters through a graphical interface, enabling operation and maintenance personnel to comprehensively grasp the equipment's operational situation.

2. Customizable Alarm Rules: The system supports the customization of alarm rules (e.g., motor overload, high bearing temperature, excessive vibration). When abnormal data is detected, alarm information is automatically pushed through multiple channels such as SMS, WeChat, and email, with records of alarm time, type, equipment location, and handling status. Operation and maintenance personnel can quickly locate the fault point and take targeted measures to ensure safe and stable production.

3. Remote Control and Maintenance: Users can remotely start and stop sand making machines, adjust process parameters (e.g., motor speed, feed rate) via mobile phones or computers, and support remote uploading and downloading of programs and online programming and debugging of PLCs in different locations, achieving "zero on-site" operation and maintenance. This significantly shortens fault repair times, improves equipment utilization rates, and reduces operation and maintenance costs.

4. Data Reporting and Analysis: The system supports the generation of shift reports, daily reports, weekly reports, and monthly reports, covering key indicators such as equipment online rate, sand-making efficiency, energy consumption, and fault frequency. Through data analysis, enterprises can optimize process parameters, predict maintenance needs, and provide data support for equipment upgrades, energy consumption control, and production scheduling, driving the sand-making production process towards intelligence and refinement.
