As the wave of Industry 4.0 sweeps across the globe, the Internet of Things (IoT) has become a key engine to drive devices towards digitization and intelligence. In this transformation, edge computing is the key to achieving efficient and reliable industrial automation and intelligence. Based on this background, Zongheng has launched Node-RED-enabled industrial touch all-in-one PCs – EV series products, which have become a major highlight in the practical application of edge computing. EV series products support real-time processing and visualization of data at the edge, providing an intuitive and convenient operation and management experience at industrial sites, and their powerful functionality and flexibility make EV series products a perfect choice for industrial applications. Its powerful functionality and flexibility make EV series products an indispensable tool for realizing intelligent and digital upgrading of equipment in the era of Industry 4.0!
The Future of the Industrial PC will be the Brain of the Intelligent Edge
Edge visualization is an integration of edge computing and visualization architecture, not a simple technology overlay. EV series uses Node-RED in edge computing to achieve an intuitive data flow programming environment, making data processing and system integration more efficient and flexible. Combined with the visualization capabilities of VISION (EV’s built-in configuration software), users can quickly deploy and manage complex IoT systems to improve operational efficiency and decision-making capabilities.
Integration of OT+IT to meet all-round needs
As one of the key promoters and builders of IT+OT, Zongheng Intelligence Control Technology Co., Ltd. has a profound accumulation in both the field of human-machine interface and the in-depth use of edge computing technology, and is committed to providing industry-leading edge visualization products and solutions for customers in the field of industrial Internet of Things (IoT).
Zongheng’s visualization products cover product lines such as high-performance edge computing gateways (EG series) and industrial control all-in-one PCs (EV series), which are widely used in industrial automation and related industries. Through the features of reliable industrial design, strict quality control, innovative functional design, and rich software functions, the visualization products of Zongheng combine with the components of Zongheng’s self-developed IOT data middleware, deeply customized Node-RED, and local visualization configuration software (VISION) to realize industrial field data acquisition, analysis, and local display.
Visual Drag & Drop Programming (Node-RED) + WEB Configuration (VISION)
VISION is a cost-effective open platform graphic control software, built-in rich configuration plug-ins, support for large screen Web expansion to achieve complex graphic monitoring functions and support for different Web sites for remote monitoring.
Zongheng’s deeply customized Node-RED is applicable to a wide range of hardware devices, including the EG Series Edge Computing Gateways and EV Industrial Touch All-in-One PCs. The EV Series products use Node-RED to implement an intuitive data flow programming environment, making data processing and system integration more efficient and flexible. Combined with VISION’s visualization capabilities, users can quickly deploy and manage complex IoT systems to improve operational efficiency and decision-making capabilities.
Returning to the product itself, EV8010 is the breakout product in the visualization product matrix of Zongheng, which adopts an 8-core ARM CortexTMA55@1.8GHz low-power processor with strong graphics processing power for smoother use.
The fanless and compact design allows for flexible deployment in a variety of industrial environments. The full HD pure flat BOE laminated screen design is more suitable for image processing, visual imaging and data visualization. In addition, it has rich hardware interface resources, and supports a variety of industrial protocols and multi-screen display.
Product Application Scenarios
1. In industrial manufacturing
A large-scale spinning factory adopts EV series IoT touch screen gateway, which allows managers to monitor and control spinning equipment more conveniently, and operators to view equipment status, production data and key indicators in real time. At the same time, the connection between the touch screen and the edge server ensures fast data transmission and real-time updating, so that the production data can be fed back to managers and decision makers in a timely manner.
2. Energy Storage EMS Full Process Monitoring
BMS is the key link of the energy storage system, which is responsible for real-time collection of key parameters such as voltage, current and temperature of the battery pack, judging the battery’s health status, energy status and safety status, and ensuring the safe and reliable operation of the energy storage system. The accuracy and reliability of the data obtained by the EMS determines the quality and efficiency of the overall operation of the energy storage system.
Zongheng Edge Visualization products can realize the above needs with two key features: high compatibility and high openness. The product can not only access the wired/wireless network at any time, but also flexibly expand the third-party hardware. At the same time with the visualization data customization function to provide Web-based mobile device management functions, thus achieving the perfect integration of hardware and software.
By combining traditional industry infrastructures with new technologies such as IoT, edge computing and AI, Zongheng provides industry digital transformation integrators with informatization and digitalization convergence products and solutions such as edge gateways, IOT data centers, industrial control all-in-one PCs, remote IOs, AI edge boxes, and other products and solutions to improve efficiency, reduce costs, optimize processes, and promote industry digital transformation.
