PLC Data Acquisition for Granulating Machines

 


 

Granulating machines are commonly seen in pharmaceutical equipment and are primarily used for the production of pharmaceutical preparations, granules, and other drugs. PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) enable the automated control of the granulation process for various raw materials. WideIOT can deploy industrial intelligent gateways to connect to PLCs, facilitating real-time data acquisition of equipment status, process parameters, alarm information, and more. Additionally, it enables seamless integration with MES (Manufacturing Execution System) and ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems through 5G/4G/WiFi/Ethernet connections, thereby achieving refined management of granulating machines.

What is an Industrial Gateway?

  In the era of Industry 4.0, where smart factories and interconnected systems dominate,   industrial gateways   have emerged as critical components for enabling seamless communication, data exchange, and automation across diverse industrial environments. But what exactly is an industrial gateway, and why is it indispensable in modern manufacturing and process control? This article explores its definition, functions, types, and real-world applications. Definition of an Industrial Gateway An   industrial gateway   is a specialized hardware or software device designed to bridge communication gaps between incompatible industrial networks, protocols, or devices. It acts as a translator and router, ensuring that data from legacy machinery, sensors, controllers, or cloud platforms can be understood and utilized by other systems. Unlike standard networking gateways, industrial gateways are built to withstand harsh environments (e.g., extreme temperatures, v...

IoT Solution for DCS Data Acquisition of Stackers and Reclaimers

图片
  In thermal power plants, stackers and reclaimers play a crucial role in storing and conveying raw materials. They execute various automated instructions through PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) and DCS (Distributed Control Systems), such as allowing stacking, allowing reclaiming, peripheral reclaiming operation, emergency shutdown of stackers and reclaimers, stacking operation, stacking faults, reclaiming faults, reclaiming circuit, and more. These instructions provide reliable assistance for enhancing production efficiency and management levels. To achieve DCS data acquisition and enable remote monitoring and precise management of stacking and reclaiming operations, WideIOT offers an IoT solution based on industrial smart gateways. By connecting to the central control room’s DCS, the gateway can adapt to protocols and perform data acquisition. The collected data is then transmitted to a remote monitoring cloud platform, enabling functions such as visual display, remote moni...

IoT Solution for Digital Transformation in Discrete Manufacturing Industry

图片
  For enterprises aiming to achieve smart manufacturing and digital transformation, the most challenging and core aspect lies in digitizing the production process.  This is particularly true in the discrete manufacturing sector, where products are often assembled from multiple components through a series of discontinuous processes. The production process involves numerous variables and uncertainties, all of which need to be captured and monitored. Taking the automotive manufacturing industry as an example, the production process includes stamping, welding, painting, and final assembly.  The equipment involved ranges from stamping machines, welding robots, painting robots, drying ovens, and assembly robots to ancillary PLCs, sensors, and instrumentation. Data such as temperature, pressure, flow rate, voltage, and current are crucial determinants of a vehicle's quality. In response, WideIOT provides data acquisition gateways that connect to PLCs, instrumenta...
