How to Achieve Industrial IoT Digital Upgrade in Smart Factories of the Coatings Industry

With the rapid development of technology, the digital upgrade of industrial IoT has become a hot topic in the manufacturing industry.

 In the coatings industry, the construction of smart factories is gradually becoming an important pathway for enterprises to achieve digital transformation. A smart factory refers to a factory that achieves automation, intelligence, and greening of production processes through networked, digital, and intelligent means. Its core is industrial IoT technology, which connects various devices, systems, and data to enable real-time information sharing and optimized decision-making.

In this context, WideIOT offers a solution for smart factories in the coatings industry based on industrial smart gateways. This solution enables real-time monitoring and management of the entire coatings production process, including raw material feeding, metering, dispersion, grinding, paint mixing, filtration, and automatic packaging.

 It centralizes data from PLCs, instruments, industrial robots, sensors, and other devices onto an industrial IoT platform. By leveraging device management, remote control, remote maintenance, data analysis, and other tools, it facilitates the intelligent management and digital upgrade of the entire factory.

Functional Characteristics

1. Device Interconnection: The gateway connects coatings production equipment, testing equipment, packaging equipment, etc., enabling real-time data transmission and collaborative work among devices.

    It also provides visual monitoring and management control through a configuration platform.

2. Big Data Analysis: By collecting, analyzing, and mining large amounts of data generated during the production process, it provides valuable information to help enterprises optimize production processes, improve product quality, and reduce production costs.

3. Remote Monitoring and Alarms: Through the industrial IoT platform, enterprises can monitor the operational status of equipment in real-time and receive timely alarms for equipment failures and abnormal parameters.

    This facilitates prompt detection and handling of equipment failures, reducing downtime and production losses.

4. Remote Control and Maintenance: Through mobile and computer terminals, quality parameters can be sent to device PLCs to achieve remote starting and stopping of equipment and changing work modes. It also enables remote PLC programming, debugging, and program uploading and downloading.
