Advantages of Industrial Panel PC in the Internet of Things

Industrial computers, especially industrial panel computers, have enabled the Internet of Things to thrive in such an environment. In the process, they can streamline production, ensure more efficient shipping, or help a given company increase profit

IIoT

Industrial Internet of Things (referred to as IIoT) is the perception, monitoring capabilities of various types of acquisition, control sensors or controllers, as well as mobile communications, intelligent analysis and other technologies continuously integrated into all aspects of the industrial production process, thereby greatly improving manufacturing efficiency, improving product quality, reducing product costs and resource consumption, and finally realizing the traditional industry to a new stage of intelligence. The application of the Industrial Internet of Things has the characteristics of real-time, automation, embedded (software), security, and information interoperability. In heavy industry, warehouse and factory floors are changing dramatically due to the Internet of Things. Industrial computers, especially industrial panel computers, have enabled the Internet of Things to thrive in such an environment. In the process, they can streamline production, ensure more efficient shipping, or help a given company increase profits.

Advantages of Industrial Panel PC in the Internet of Things:

1- Predictive maintenance

If a machine breaks down during maintenance, the resulting production stoppage will cost the company to suffer a huge loss of productivity. Regular maintenance can surely identify faults before they begin, but this can also take a lot of man-hours and often involves shutting down production.

The Internet of Things can change this equation. The sensor networks composing the Internet of Things provide big data that can be analyzed and evaluated. The machine can itself report regular maintenance to the operator to ensure that routine inspections are not ignored, which can lead to larger problems. When IoT machines do fail, they can send messages to identify the exact nature of the problem, thus preventing turning small repairs into a long and costly repair problem caused by misdiagnosis.

2- Increase efficiency with ease

Automated mechanical and assembly-line equipment usually uses industrial computers to allow workers to control it through a human-machine interface (HMI).IoT integration can exacerbate this process, allowing people to monitor automated systems more efficiently.

For example, sensors connected to components on vehicle assembly lines (or automated machinery responsible for assembling the vehicle) can detect high temperatures, vibrations, and similar structural problems that can lead to component damage.It can also detect repeat trends in these directions, suggesting a batch of components with common structural problems, or possibly early components with such problems during assembly.In turn, this would alert operators to the problem and allow them to correct it before causing more damage.

Industrial tablets allow human monitors to quickly detect problems through HMI: identify where the problems occurred on the production line and close the process for correction.Cost savings can be achieved by stopping the problem early and helping to indicate which (if any) assembly products may be affected by this problem.

3- RFID readers improve warehouse automation

IoT technology can also be used in warehouses and storerooms to facilitate automated management.For example, the Automatic Storage and Retrieval System (AS / RS) can classify and organize products for distribution.Sensors are placed along the production line, and the RF ID labels (RFID) can identify a specific SKU for each box.This allows them to be accurately classified and stacked in the correct area.

The controller can use the industrial touch computer with the RFID reader to track the process and adjust or change as needed.For example, if a new product enters a warehouse, you can enter the SKU of the product into the system and assign it a storage location.AS / RS will then automatically adjust the process to ensure that new products can eventually be shipped where expected.Not only does this greatly simplify the organizational process but also help staff quickly determine the location of a given product that may otherwise be lost in the row and stack.
