Package Machines Remote Monitoring

Background

With the development of our living conditions, Foods or items need to be packed well to keep them fresh and well-protected. These industries have led to a huge demand for different package machines and get them well organised. A complete processing line is composed of PLC, sensors, SCADA system, lifting station control, and SCADA communication turns out to be a challenge for many factories.

Projects Technical Highlights

  • The routers should have abundant interfaces, including RS232 + RS485 + Ethernet Ports, to get all the equipment on the machines well connected and organised.
  • The router should be 4G LTE to avoid too much delay during the application because you need to know that you might miss tens of packages within 2 seconds.
  • The router should be Dual SIM design, and all the users to insert two SIM Cards by using two Operators’ services because the signal coverage is incomplete.
  • The router should support multiple data encryption Tunnels to secure the data transmission.
  • The router should be 100% industrial design with extremely strong capability to bear vibration and shake during production.
  • The router should have a wide power input range that complies with the whole system.

Solution

NavigateWorx NR500-P4G is selected for this application, and its fully industrial design ensures that all the data are transferred within a safe and stable secure Tunnel. Dual-SIM design allows all the customers to use two operators’ services. The router will automatically switch to another SIM Card in case of any failure on the current network link. More importantly, our abundant interfaces allow all the equipment to be well connected, so they don’t require any Ethernet switches, which is the more cost-effective solution for the applications.
