Advantech experience: total solution for factory automation efficiency

Background of the project

A well-known domestic manufacturer of kitchen appliances and household appliances such as gas cookers, water heaters, range hoods, etc., introduced the MES system to improve the efficiency of its factory management, but unfortunately, the equipment used in the kitchen is too old. Therefore, the important data in the production process can not be directly connected with the system, and the data needs to be uploaded by human resources. This mode of operation is not only easy to cause human error, but also greatly increases the workload of the operator. At the same time, the punching machine and related equipment are installed in the factory. This environment is not suitable for network wiring in the field. The burning appliance factory is a high-temperature and dust-free environment without air conditioning, and the related equipment needs to provide better. Performance can meet the needs of smooth operation under such strict conditions.

System specification

In this case, some of the customer's equipment is too old to have data acquisition equipment, and this important data will affect the quality of manufacturing. In this project, Advantech selected three ADAM acquisition modules. Advantech's ADAM-4100 series of rugged acquisition modules designed for reliable operation in harsh environments, with its compact design and versatile universal interface, bridges the gap between sensors and computers. The analog input module ADAM-4117 is used to collect the data of the cylinder pressure. The thermocouple input module ADAM-4118 is used to collect the temperature change of the machine. Another isolated digital input module, the ADAM-4051, is ideally suited for critical applications. The excellent function of its isolated digital inputs is used to calculate the number of runs for the press.

At the same time, Advantech uses the embedded fanless industrial computer UNO-2174A as a gateway to obtain the on-site signals collected by PLC and ADAM equipment, and transmits this data to Advantech WebAccess installed in the IT control room, which is responsible for sending data to MES. Embedded fanless industrial computer provides excellent communication functions for MES applications. It has Gigabit Ethernet port, multiple I/O, PCIe slots, IP40 protection level certification, and wide temperature operation (-10~70°C). And so on, it makes it the best choice to ensure stable operation under the harsh operating environment.
