Implementing Factory Intelligent Production with Industrial Gateways

The Necessity of Implementing Factory Intelligent Production with Industrial Gateways

In traditional industrial production, different products utilize distinct equipment, processes, and technical solutions.
These devices, akin to various organs of the human body, are interconnected through process flows to form the foundational production system of industrialization.
However, this traditional approach suffers from drawbacks such as one-way data transmission and a lack of feedback mechanisms.
These limitations hinder production efficiency and cost-effectiveness, rendering them obsolete in the current era of informatization.

So, when facing diverse equipment and instrumentation, such as Siemens PLCs, Schneider PLCs, water meters, electricity meters, and smart meters, how can we achieve high-speed data transmission and feedback to facilitate factory intelligence?

Consider the WideIOT industrial smart gateway, which collects data from these devices, performs edge computing, and then transmits the processed data to a cloud platform for visualization as data charts.
This approach enables continuous process improvement and device control, fostering a virtuous cycle rather than isolated data islands.
The industrial smart gateway ensures seamless data interaction, a cornerstone of intelligent, digital, and smart manufacturing factories.
