WideIOT's PLC Data Acquisition and Remote Monitoring Solution for Soybean Color Sorters

With the rapid development of Industry 4.0 and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, intelligence and automation have become inevitable trends in modern manufacturing.

 Against this backdrop, manufacturers of soybean color sorters also need to keep pace with the times by implementing automation transformations through Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), making the production process more intelligent and controllable to enhance product quality, reduce production costs, and improve production efficiency.

WideIOT has introduced a remote monitoring IoT system for soybean color sorters, built upon its industrial smart gateway.

 By connecting the PLCs of soybean color sorters to WideIOT's industrial smart gateway, tasks such as protocol parsing, data acquisition, and real-time communication (via 5G/4G/WIFI/Ethernet, etc.) are performed, establishing a reliable IoT system for real-time communication with cloud platforms and upper computers. This system provides reliable assistance for production management, alarm monitoring, maintenance work orders, equipment management, and data analysis, thereby enhancing the efficiency and quality of enterprise management.

System Functions:

1. Data Acquisition: The gateway can collect device data from the PLCs of soybean color sorters, configured according to the PLC point list.

    The collection frequency and upload cycle can be freely set.

2. Remote Monitoring: The working status of the color sorters, including operating time, work parameters, and alarm data, can be monitored in real-time via mobile and computer terminals, allowing for real-time viewing and retri.

3. Fault Alarm: Customizable alarm rules can be set, with notifications sent via WeChat, SMS, email, etc., enabling quick location and diagnosis to ensure the safety of the production process.

4. Remote Maintenance: Paired with a device maintenance express line, remote maintenance of PLCs can be achieved, allowing users to perform remote programming, debugging, and program uploading/downloading without the need for on-site visits.

5. Data Analysis: By collecting working data from soybean color sorters, enterprises can analyze the data to provide statistical information on key indicators such as production efficiency and soybean selection effectiveness, helping users optimize the production process.
