Advantech

Technology Category	Application Infrastructure & Middleware - Data Visualization Functional Applications - Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES)
Applicable Industries	Buildings Equipment & Machinery
Use Cases	Behavior & Emotion Tracking Leakage & Flood Monitoring
Services	System Integration
Challenge	Daikin India, a leading HVAC solutions provider, was seeking to optimize energy efficiency and productivity at its factories. The company wanted to implement an equipment monitoring and data collection solution for its HVAC subassembly lines. However, the challenge was that these lines featured numerous programmable logic controllers (PLCs), which limited the available installation space and network capabilities. Therefore, Daikin India needed a compact yet versatile solution for acquiring and visualizing production data without high networking/infrastructure costs. The company also required a system that supports smart real-time monitoring of HVAC subassembly lines, enables seamless acquisition and visualization of equipment data, minimizes and streamlines data transmissions, offers configurable PLC I/O data collection flexibility, and provides reliable industrial-grade hardware.

Solution	Advantech provided a solution that comprised its ESRP-PCS-UNO2271 equipment connectivity data gateway, which supports more than 400 PLC communication drivers and self-defined data conversion protocols. The gateway was pre-installed with Advantech’s WebAccess/HMI software package to enable integrated development and data visualization for real-time monitoring. The ESRP-PCS-UNO2271 gateway was also used to gather machine data from PLCs via I/O devices. After collection, all data was transmitted to the UNO-2483G automation computer, which served as the platform for Advantech’s WebAccess/SCADA software package. This solution allowed the company to configure the Modbus/TCP protocols dynamically, integrate PLC I/O data, and store collected data on a database server for real-time visualization. Data could then be displayed on a dashboard as dynamic graphs and historical trends to facilitate analysis and operational optimization. Read More Log in to view content
