With the continuous advancement of modern industrial technology, feed pellet mills are being used more and more widely in agricultural and livestock production. As indispensable equipment in the feed processing chain, cooler-dryers play a vital role in ensuring feed quality and improving production efficiency. However, in actual production, challenges such as complex equipment operation and difficult data acquisition make it hard to effectively guarantee efficiency and quality—affecting business profitability and increasing production risks.

Based on a PLC data acquisition and remote monitoring system, WideIOT offers a highly efficient and reliable industrial IoT solution. By connecting the feed pellet cooler-dryer PLC to a WideIOT industrial smart gateway, the system enables real-time acquisition of equipment operating parameters and data communication. Data is then transmitted via 5G/4G/Wi-Fi/Ethernet to cloud platforms or local host systems, enabling better production monitoring and timely, effective management and control measures.

System Functions

Data Acquisition – By connecting to the feed pellet cooler-dryer PLC, the gateway collects real-time equipment operating data—including running status, voltage, current, temperature, and humidity—and transmits it to the monitoring system.

Fault Early Warning – Customizable fault warning rules can be configured to notify relevant personnel promptly when equipment anomalies occur, minimizing production losses. Notifications are supported via WeChat, SMS, and email.

Remote Monitoring – Via PC or mobile devices, staff can monitor the cooler-dryer's location, operating status, and working parameters in real time, and adjust equipment operating parameters as needed.

Remote Maintenance – With the Remote Maintenance Tunnel, engineers can perform remote PLC programming, debugging, and program upload/download for off-site equipment—improving maintenance efficiency and reducing travel costs.

Data Analytics and Optimization – Through visualized display and intelligent analysis of collected data, users can identify bottlenecks and issues in the production process, optimize equipment operating parameters, and improve both production efficiency and feed quality.

Through real-time monitoring, data analytics, and optimization, the system enables better responses to unexpected situations during production, achieving efficient management and quality control of the pelletizing system—providing reliable support for the development of agricultural and livestock production.
