Solution for PLC Data Acquisition and Remote Monitoring System of Drying Silk Machine

During the automated production process of the drying silk machine, PLCs are widely used to control equipment such as heaters and fans, thereby precisely monitoring and controlling parameters like temperature, humidity, pressure, and flow rate.

 This effectively enhances the production stability and efficiency of the drying silk machine, reduces fluctuations in product quality, and improves equipment operation and maintenance management levels.

Industry Pain Points

1. Low Production Efficiency: The drying process relies on manual experience for parameter adjustments.
2. Unstable Quality: Precise control during production is challenging, and product quality is significantly influenced by human factors.
3. Difficult Maintenance: Equipment fault diagnosis relies on manual inspection, leading to long maintenance response times.

Solution

To address these issues, WideIOT provides a solution for a PLC data acquisition and remote monitoring system based on IoT gateways.

 By connecting the PLCs of the drying silk machine to IoT gateways, real-time equipment data is collected and transmitted to cloud platforms or upper computers via 5G/4G/WIFI/Ethernet, enabling real-time monitoring of key data such as temperature, humidity, air volume, flow rate, and oxygen flow. Upon detecting abnormal data, automatic alerts are sent via WeChat, SMS, or email, allowing timely measures to be taken to ensure the quality and safety of the tobacco silk.

System Functions

1. Real-time Monitoring: Comprehensive tracking and centralized display of the status of multiple drying silk machines, accessible anytime via mobile or computer terminals.
2. Early Warning and Alarm: Timely reminders for abnormal conditions, notified via WeChat, SMS, or email to prevent potential issues.
3. Operation and Maintenance Management: Enables creation, query, management, and claiming of maintenance work orders to ensure efficient maintenance operations.
4. Remote Maintenance: Facilitates remote programming, debugging, and program uploading/downloading operations for PLCs in different locations via the device maintenance express line.
5. Data Analysis: Collects operational data to provide data and decision support for equipment maintenance updates, process improvements, and upgrades.
