By collecting robot operation data such as working time and program line numbers, enterprises can clearly understand the time and operation sequence of robots in each production stage. For example, in automobile manufacturing, robots are responsible for tasks such as component welding and assembly. Analyzing these data can identify possible bottlenecks in the process, thereby optimizing production layout and process sequence, reducing unnecessary waiting time, and improving overall production efficiency.

In response, WideIOT provides widely compatible robot edge data acquisition gateways that support industrial robots from ABB, FANUC, ESTUN, Yaskawa, Hyundai, Yamaha, KUKA, and others, collecting equipment status, working parameters, alarm information, IO signals, etc. in real time, and connecting to MES or ERP systems via 5G/4G/WIFI/Ethernet, thereby providing comprehensive and reliable data support for production management and promoting scientific decision-making by enterprises.

Implemented Functions

The gateway is equipped with diversified communication interfaces, covering serial ports, network ports, and IO interfaces, fully adapting to the connection requirements of various devices such as PLCs, instruments and meters, sensors, CNC machine tools, and industrial robots. In addition, it widely supports multiple mainstream industrial communication protocols, further enhancing the breadth of its application.

To overcome communication challenges in different network environments, the gateway is compatible with multiple network connection methods such as 5G, 4G, WIFI, and Ethernet, ensuring fast and efficient network coverage. At the same time, it is equipped with a powerful link monitoring and fault self-recovery mechanism, thereby ensuring long-lasting network stability.

The gateway integrates rich edge computing capabilities, such as intelligent data capture, preprocessing, alarm logic determination, event trigger processing, formula calculation, and group management. These capabilities effectively share the workload of the cloud service center and greatly improve the robustness and high-concurrency processing capability of the system.

In response to the high standards of industrial environments, the gateway features industrial-grade protection and has built-in multiple software and hardware watchdog mechanisms to ensure highly reliable application even under harsh conditions. It provides a series of practical functions such as watchdog monitoring, automatic recovery after network interruption, breakpoint resume, and function protection.

To meet the needs of MES or ERP vendors, the gateway provides rich API interface resources. With these API interfaces, users can conveniently implement remote data collection, control, and management of on-site equipment, and rapidly build various intelligent applications.
