Emulsified Asphalt Equipment IoT Solution: Remote Monitoring and Remote Program Upload/Download

In today's era of rapid technological advancement, progress has brought about numerous unexpected conveniences in our lives.

 Among these, the IoT solution for emulsified asphalt equipment stands out as a prime example. As a critical piece of equipment in road construction and maintenance, the operational status of emulsified asphalt equipment directly impacts project quality and efficiency. By implementing remote monitoring and remote program upload/download capabilities, a more efficient and convenient working method is provided for the highway construction industry, preventing many production accidents and losses.

System Solution

By deploying and integrating the WideIOT industrial smart gateway into the PLC of emulsified asphalt equipment, data acquisition and edge computing functions can be achieved.

 The collected data is then uploaded to a cloud server via wireless networks such as 5G/4G, enabling remote monitoring, control, and program upload/download operations on the equipment through an IoT cloud platform. This effectively enhances work efficiency and management levels.

System Functionalities

1. Remote Monitoring: Through the system platform, operators can remotely monitor the equipment's operational status and parameters in real-time, including critical metrics such as temperature, pressure, and flow rate.

    Automated alerts via WeChat, SMS, email, etc., are triggered upon detecting faults, facilitating prompt issue identification and resolution. This not only reduces the labor intensity of operators but also significantly enhances work efficiency. Furthermore, it enables信息化 (information-based) intelligent management of the equipment, providing robust support for online management and operations in the highway construction industry.

2. Remote Program Upload/Download: Previously, equipment upgrades and maintenance required on-site visits by operators, which were time-consuming and laborious.

    Now, with the remote program upload/download capability, engineers can complete PLC remote programming, debugging, and program upload/download operations from their computers without the need for travel. Remote maintenance enables swift resolution of equipment failures, significantly saving time and resources, and bringing tangible benefits to the highway construction industry.
