Industrial intelligent gateway is a kind of intelligent equipment integrating data collection, transmission, processing and analysis. It can realize real-time data collection of various sensors, actuators and other devices in the industrial field, and transmit them to the cloud or local data centre for analysis and processing through the network. At the same time, the industrial intelligent gateway also has edge computing capability, which can carry out preliminary processing and analysis of data locally, improve data processing efficiency and reduce data transmission costs.
With the rapid development of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technology, more and more traditional industrial fields are beginning to incorporate intelligent and networked elements. Industrial intelligent gateway as a bridge connecting the physical world and the digital world, its application in various industries is becoming more and more extensive. This paper will take the cable industry as an example to discuss the practical application of industrial intelligent gateway and the changes it brings.
1. Challenges Faced By The Cable Industry
Cable industry as an important part of the traditional industrial sector, facing a series of challenges such as low production efficiency, quality control, high cost. Traditional cable production methods often rely on manual operation, low productivity and difficult to ensure product quality. In addition, because the cable industry involves a large number of raw materials procurement, processing and inventory management, so cost control is also an important issue facing the enterprise.
2. The Application Of Industrial Intelligent Gateway In The Cable Industry
For the challenges faced by the cable industry, the application of industrial intelligent gateway can provide effective solutions. Specifically, the application of industrial intelligent gateway in the cable industry is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
Production Process Optimisation: Through the intelligent gateway deployed in the industrial site, the data of each link in the production line can be collected in real time, including equipment operation status, production progress, product quality and so on. Through the analysis of these data, problems in the production process can be discovered in time, and production parameters can be adjusted to optimise the production process and improve production efficiency.
Quality Monitoring And Traceability: Industrial Intelligent Gateway can realise real-time monitoring of key parameters in the cable production process, such as temperature, pressure, speed and so on. Once abnormalities are found, the system can automatically alarm and take appropriate measures to avoid product quality problems. At the same time, by recording the key data in the production process, it can realise the traceability of product quality, helping enterprises to find the source of the problem and make improvements in time.
Cost Management And Control: Industrial intelligent gateway can monitor the raw material consumption, energy consumption and other data in the production process in real time to help enterprises carry out refined cost management. Through the analysis of these data, the bottleneck link of cost control can be found, and corresponding measures can be taken to improve, so as to reduce production costs.
3. The Case Study
Taking a cable manufacturer as an example, the enterprise has introduced an industrial intelligent gateway to achieve digital management of the production process. Through the real-time collection of data from all aspects of the production line, the enterprise is able to identify problems in the production process and make adjustments in a timely manner, improving production efficiency. At the same time, through the real-time monitoring and tracing of product quality, the enterprise effectively avoids quality problems and improves product quality. In addition, through real-time monitoring and analysis of cost data in the production process, the enterprise successfully reduced production costs and improved economic efficiency.
The application practice of industrial intelligent gateway in the cable industry shows that it has a significant role in improving production efficiency, ensuring product quality and reducing production costs. With the continuous development of industrial Internet of Things technology, industrial intelligent gateway will play an important role in more fields, and promote the transformation and upgrading of traditional industry.
