Industrial IoT Solution: Data Acquisition and Management System for Winding Machines

A winding machine is a device used for winding materials such as cables, wires, hoses, and threads.

 It employs components like drums, tensioners, and winding shafts to wind materials onto drums, facilitating the winding and unwinding of materials. Winding machines are widely applied in fields such as wire and cable manufacturing, automotive parts, electronic components, and textiles.

To enhance production efficiency and ensure product quality, an increasing number of industries are focusing on introducing intelligent technologies and equipment, with PLCs becoming a primary application product.

 In this context, Wutongbolian offers an IoT solution based on industrial smart gateways. By connecting to PLCs and touchscreens in winding machines, the gateway can real-time acquire critical data such as the operating status, process parameters, and alarm information of winding machines. This data is collected and recorded according to preset cycles and storage schemes, providing a basis for subsequent data analysis and fault diagnosis.

Managers can conduct real-time monitoring and adjustments of winding machines through the monitoring platform interface.

 Additionally, the gateway supports remote control and adjustments, allowing for remote parameter settings, process adjustments, and operating mode switches of winding machine PLCs, enabling flexible production scheduling and optimization.

Furthermore, by analyzing and managing the collected data, potential fault issues can be effectively identified and alarms triggered, enabling managers to promptly detect and resolve problems.

 This leads to the generation of maintenance work orders distributed to maintenance personnel for operations such as PLC remote programming debugging and program uploading/downloading, enhancing production stability and reliability.
