IoT Solution for PLC Data Acquisition of Briquetting Machines

Briquetting machines are mechanical devices used to compress loose materials (such as plastics, metals, paper, rubber, etc.)

 into high-density block or columnar products through high pressure, which are widely applied in recycling, environmental protection, agriculture, industry, and other fields. These machines help reduce the space occupied by materials, lower transportation costs, and contribute to environmental protection to a certain extent.

During the production process of briquetting machines, PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) play a crucial role by controlling various components of the machines to achieve automated production, significantly improving product quality and production efficiency.

 In response, WideIoT offers an IoT solution based on PLC data acquisition, enabling remote monitoring and intelligent gateway functionality for briquetting machines.

The PLC data acquisition gateway is the core of the IoT solution.

 By connecting the PLC of the briquetting machine to an IoT gateway, we can collect various real-time data from the production process, such as pressure, speed, and temperature. These data, after undergoing edge computing and cleaning processing, can provide valuable information for enterprises and be synchronously displayed on intelligent terminals, helping them optimize the production process, enhance production efficiency, and reduce production costs.

Furthermore, the PLC IoT solution makes monitoring and maintenance of briquetting machines more convenient.

 Through the IoT platform, enterprises can monitor the working status of briquetting machines in real time, promptly identify potential issues, and avoid production interruptions. Additionally, by analyzing historical data, enterprises can predict equipment failures, perform remote programming debugging, and remotely upload and download programs, thereby reducing maintenance costs and extending the service life of the equipment.

After introducing IoT technology, briquetting machine enterprises can achieve more intelligent production. For example, through data analysis, enterprises can automatically adjust the working parameters of briquetting machines based on different material characteristics, enabling personalized production. Moreover, enterprises can further enhance production efficiency by implementing remote operation and control through IoT technology.
