PLC Data Collection and Remote Monitoring System Solution for Feed Pellet Cooling and Drying Machines

With the continuous development of modern industrial technology, feed pelletizers have found widespread applications in agricultural and livestock production.

 As an indispensable piece of equipment in the feed processing process, cooling and drying machines play a crucial role in ensuring feed quality and enhancing production efficiency. However, during actual production, issues such as complex equipment operation and difficult data collection often hinder effective guarantees of production efficiency and quality, impacting enterprise operational benefits and increasing production risks.

Based on a PLC data collection and remote monitoring system, WideIOT offers an efficient and reliable industrial IoT solution.

 By connecting the PLC of a feed pellet cooling and drying machine to the WideIOT industrial smart gateway, real-time collection and data communication of equipment operational parameters can be achieved. The data is then transmitted to cloud platforms or local upper computers via 5G/4G/WIFI/Ethernet, enabling better monitoring of the production process and timely implementation of effective control measures.

System Functions:

1. Data Collection: The gateway accesses the PLC of the feed pellet cooling and drying machine to collect real-time operational data (such as operational status, voltage, current, temperature, humidity, etc.) and transmits it to the monitoring system.

2. Fault Warning: Customizable fault warning rules can be set to promptly notify relevant personnel in case of equipment abnormalities, minimizing production losses.

    Support is provided for notifications via WeChat, SMS, and email.

3. Remote Monitoring: Through smartphones and computers, personnel can monitor the location, operational status, and working parameters of the feed pellet cooling and drying machine in real-time and adjust equipment parameters as needed.

4. Remote Maintenance: Paired with the equipment maintenance express lane, remote programming, debugging, and program uploading/downloading operations on remote PLCs can be performed, improving maintenance efficiency and reducing travel costs.

5. Data Analysis and Optimization: By visualizing and intelligently analyzing the collected data, bottlenecks and issues in the production process can be identified, enabling optimization of equipment operational parameters to enhance production efficiency and feed quality.

Through real-time monitoring, data analysis, and optimization, we can better respond to unexpected situations during the production process, achieving efficient management and quality control of the pelletizing system, and providing reliable support for the development of agricultural and livestock production.
