Solution for PLC Data Acquisition and Maintenance System of Carton Opening Machine

Carton Opening Machine Overview

The carton opening machine, also known as an automatic carton forming and bottom-sealing machine, is an automated packaging device used for the mass automatic opening of cartons, automatic folding of the lower flaps, and automatic sealing of the bottom tape in a continuous packaging line.

 Carton opening machines are commonly employed in large-scale production environments, particularly in manufacturing industries that require efficient packaging processes, such as the food, beverage, and electronics sectors. They are indispensable equipment for automated mass production.

Challenges for Equipment Manufacturers

As carton opening machines are sold across the country, the costs, time, and effort associated with operational management increase significantly, posing new challenges to the monitoring and maintenance capabilities of the manufacturers themselves.

Industrial IoT Solution by Wutongbolian

Wutongbolian offers an IoT solution based on industrial smart gateways, enabling real-time monitoring of equipment operational status and ensuring detailed recording of all data from packaging to finished product warehousing.

 This makes every production process transparent and provides solid data support for subsequent fault maintenance.

By connecting the PLC to the Wutongbolian industrial smart gateway, equipment networking and data acquisition can be achieved, establishing a real-time communication network with the remote management platform.

 Managers can access information such as equipment location distribution, operational status, alarm events, and maintenance work orders anytime and anywhere via mobile phones or computers, enabling timely management and control measures to ensure stable and reliable equipment operation.

Remote Maintenance and Debugging

In response to issues such as high costs, long durations, and low efficiency associated with on-site maintenance trips, Wutongbolian's Device Maintenance Express allows engineers to remotely program, debug, upload, and download programs for PLCs located in different regions. This effectively improves maintenance work efficiency and after-sales service quality, enhancing competitiveness in the after-sales market and aiding in corporate brand building.
