Solution for Remote Monitoring System of PLC Data Acquisition for Food Soft Packaging Flattening Machines

The food soft packaging flattening machine is an automated device that utilizes a conveyor belt and roller mechanism to apply appropriate pressure to flatten and shape soft packaged foods, achieving uniform and aesthetically pleasing results.

 This equipment is widely used for flattening and shaping foods such as pickles, tea leaves, and melon seeds, facilitating subsequent operations like boxing and packaging.

During the sales process, soft packaging flattening machines may be distributed across various locations nationwide, posing significant challenges for equipment manufacturers in terms of asset statistics and improving maintenance services.

 On one hand, information regarding the distribution, quantity, and types of equipment is not centralized, making statistical management time-consuming and laborious, and leading to many idle resources. On the other hand, equipment failures cannot be promptly addressed, resulting in significant reputational damage and increased maintenance costs, which are detrimental to future collaborations. To address these issues, WideIOT (formerly Wutong Bolian) offers an IoT solution for data acquisition and remote monitoring tailored for equipment manufacturers.

By integrating the PLC of the soft packaging flattening machine into the WideIOT Industrial Smart Gateway, real-time equipment data can be collected and uploaded to the equipment monitoring and maintenance platform (supporting 5G, 4G, and other methods), as well as Ethernet-based local monitoring.

 This enables remote monitoring, fault alarming, remote control, and remote maintenance of the equipment, providing convenient means for data intelligence analysis to enhance production efficiency and maintenance levels.
