In modern industrial production, mixers serve as key equipment, and their operational efficiency and the accuracy of data acquisition directly relate to product quality and production efficiency. However, traditional mixer data acquisition systems suffer from numerous pain points that not only increase operational costs for enterprises but also affect the overall stability and intelligence level of production lines.

Pain Point Analysis

1. Widely Distributed Equipment and Management Difficulties: Mixers are distributed across various regions nationwide and are numerous in quantity, requiring frequent on-site monitoring and maintenance by management personnel. This is not only time-consuming and laborious but also increases human resource costs.

2. Insufficient Fault Warning Capabilities: Traditional management modes often fail to monitor equipment operational status in real-time, leading to an inability to provide timely warnings when faults occur, thereby affecting production progress and product quality.

3. Inconvenient Remote Monitoring and Control: Restricted by geographical location and network environment, management personnel cannot view operational tasks in real-time, reducing management efficiency and operational management capabilities.

Solution

In response to the above pain points, IoT technology provides an effective solution for mixer data acquisition systems. The Wutongbolian Industrial Smart Gateway, as the core device, collects various data from mixer controllers (such as material weight, feeding/discharging times, mixing times, motor current/voltage, etc.)

Implemented Functions

1. Remote Monitoring: It provides real-time display of mixer material weight, feeding/discharging times, mixing times, and equipment operational status information.

2. Data Query and Analysis: It supports real-time and historical data queries, viewing charts and curves, and supports data export and printing to provide data support for production decisions.

3. Alarm Push: When equipment abnormalities or faults occur, it pushes alarm information to management personnel via WeChat, SMS, email, etc., ensuring timely issue resolution.

4. Remote Programming and Debugging: It supports remote programming, debugging, and uploading/downloading of programs for PLCs located remotely, improving maintenance efficiency and reducing travel costs.

5. Equipment Information Management: The system can conveniently query the location, serial number, operational cycle, and maintenance records of each mixer, facilitating equipment inspections and maintenance by management personnel.

6. Intelligent Operational Management: It enables visual management of operational tasks, obtaining processing progress, work logs, and other information for operations, ensuring the safe and reliable execution of operational tasks.
