Automated terminal crimping machines typically integrate wire cutting, stripping, terminal crimping, housing insertion, and other functions into a single unit—offering advantages such as high production efficiency and stable performance. A customer requires data to be collected from the terminal crimping machine PLC and integrated into the factory MES system. WideIOT offers a solution based on industrial smart gateways.

System Architecture

PLC Control Layer – Receives information from sensors and performs data processing and control command output according to preset programs. Through built-in logic operations and control algorithms, the PLC achieves precise control of the terminal crimping machine.
Data Acquisition Gateway – As the key device connecting the PLC with cloud platforms or host systems, the data acquisition gateway features a rich built-in protocol library, supporting connectivity and data acquisition from multiple mainstream PLC brands. It transmits data to cloud platforms or host systems through preset communication protocols and network connections. The gateway also offers edge computing capabilities, enabling preliminary data analysis and preprocessing to reduce unnecessary data traffic and improve transmission efficiency.
MES System – Used to display real-time data, analyze historical trends, and provide a user interaction interface. Through intuitive charts and dashboards, users can view key indicators—such as equipment status, process parameters, and production data—anytime, anywhere, enabling timely control and ensuring stable and safe production processes.

Functions

Supports PLC protocol connectivity and data acquisition for Siemens, Mitsubishi, Omron, Schneider, Delta, Inovance, Yonghong, and others, with data transmission to cloud platforms or host systems via 5G/4G/Wi-Fi/Ethernet.

Supports various edge computing functions—such as intelligent acquisition, data filtering, alarm calculation, change-triggered actions, formula-based computation, and grouping strategies—eliminating device heterogeneity and enabling standardization, greatly reducing project development and construction costs.

Supports device time calibration, gateway tamper-proof protection, resume-after-network-disconnection, resume-from-breakpoint, link encryption, and firewall functions.

Provides rich API interfaces for software developers' MES or ERP systems, enabling data acquisition, bidirectional control, and remote management of on-site equipment.
