The first step in realizing smart factories for Industry 4.0 is the implementation of equipment connectivity. The interconnection of equipment enables real-time machine status monitoring, availability analysis, and process optimization.
Advantech provides a comprehensive range of industrial automation products, including embedded automation computers, Ethernet solutions, controllers, I/O modules, and its WISE-PaaS IoT application software platform. Considering the space limitations and wired legacy equipment common in most factories, Advantech developed a simple wireless solution for collecting real-time production data. In addition to improving scheduling and decision making, Advantech's solution ensures easy installation, rapid system upgrades, and operational reliability for increased management efficiency. Integrated with Advantech's unique tower light monitoring interface, this wireless connectivity solution allows managers to optimize the overall equipment effectiveness. Moreover, Advantech's WebAccess software supports up to 1024 client devices without necessitating user licenses (no additional cost), making it an extremely cost-effective solution for efficient machine monitoring. |
