With the advancement of equipment management, many equipment in enterprises need to be centralized controlled and coordinated to work together. Machinery and equipment complete production or testing, and monitoring software implements operating status monitoring and automated control of on-site equipment through industrial protocols. Usually, production equipment is dispersedly deployed in industrial sites, and monitoring centers are deployed in corporate headquarters, such as oil extraction, port operations, oil and gas transportation, municipal construction, and a large number of digital production. Many difficulties are often encountered when deploying large-scale equipment, such as centralized management and remote maintenance. This will make large-scale remote networking of field equipment imperative.
Today, the development of the Internet and wireless communication technology has brought new opportunities for remote networking of equipment. By networking equipment, an advanced cloud platform can be built to remotely monitor on-site production conditions and equipment operating status, as well as perform fault diagnosis and maintenance of on-site equipment. The cloud platform equipment management system can help manufacturers conduct large-scale collaborative production, help enterprises reduce project implementation and maintenance costs, shorten the project construction cycle, provide end users with fast after-sales service, and at the same time provide equipment production and operation efficiency, enhance The competitiveness of equipment and solutions in the market.
Device interconnection uses the cloud platform to optimize the layout of device resources and achieve device collaboration and integration. On the one hand, equipment users can effectively remotely monitor equipment conditions. For example, they can monitor the distribution and operation of equipment within a region, and even place equipment in manufacturers through financial leasing. The factory is only the user of the equipment, and the equipment manufacturer will become the main body of equipment management and maintenance, thus greatly reducing the factory’s equipment procurement costs. On the other hand, through the Internet of equipment, remote equipment management and diagnosis, maintenance and repair, and multi-party collaboration can be realized. Through predictive maintenance and process optimization, we can reduce downtime, reduce subsequent maintenance costs, and improve the comprehensive management level of factory production and equipment.
Information exchange after devices are interconnected includes data collection, storage, analysis and feedback. Data collection can monitor equipment operation, predictive maintenance, inventory management, etc. by measuring physical phenomena such as voltage, current, temperature, pressure or sound, etc. through modular hardware, application software and computers. Real-time data analysis is a data flow that can quickly establish formal judgments by managing real-time changes in data, helping companies collect equipment data as quickly as possible, and ultimately transform it into decision-making tools that can improve equipment operation efficiency.
Whether it is equipment interconnection or real-time analysis of equipment data, it has a positive effect on improving production efficiency and improving benefits. This is a development trend. In the future, as the Internet of Things continues to improve, the IoT platform market will also grow. While focusing on innovation and operations to enhance core competitiveness, IoT platforms must also strengthen cooperation between platforms to provide users with more intelligent and humane services. comprehensive services.
