Paper Machine Data Collection Remote Monitoring IoT Solution

The automatic papermaking machine is the most widely used machine in the paper processing industry. It makes pulp by soaking the base paper in water, coating the surface, pressing, drying and other processes, and then forming and calendering the pulp to finally form finished paper. It has the advantages of high production efficiency, good product quality and convenient operation.

In order to realize the centralized monitoring and management of multiple devices, Wutong Bolin provides data acquisition and remote monitoring IoT solutions based on industrial intelligent gateways, which can realize data acquisition of paper machine controller PLC and upload it to the cloud platform or host computer via wired/wireless network, thereby realizing equipment monitoring, fault alarm, operation and maintenance management, data analysis and other functions, helping enterprises to better understand equipment status and production efficiency, and provide reliable data support.

The PLC of the paper mill's on-site equipment is connected to the industrial intelligent gateway through the serial port network port. The gateway collects data and uploads it to the cloud platform or local monitoring center via 5G/4G/WIFI/Ethernet, etc., which is convenient, economical and scalable.

System Features

1. Real-time monitoring: Real-time remote monitoring of paper machines can be achieved through mobile phones and computers, and information such as equipment quantity, equipment distribution, alarm records, etc. can be understood, and a variety of information can be displayed simultaneously on the data screen.

2. Data analysis: By selecting equipment and conducting comparative analysis with data, such as paper machines and energy consumption, the equipment operating parameters and energy consumption levels can be optimized, which helps to make reasonable decisions and improve production efficiency and product quality.

3. Remote operation: By issuing remote instructions to the paper machine, remote switch control and remote program downloading and other operations can be realized. At the same time, equipment configuration, customer configuration, etc. can also be operated remotely.

4. Fault alarm: Users bind model data and gateway devices, and set alarm rules and notification methods. When this part of data is monitored, an alarm will be automatically triggered, supporting WeChat, SMS, email, etc.

5. Operation and maintenance management: Automatic alarm for equipment failure, administrators can generate operation and maintenance work orders and send them to maintenance personnel, who will record the failure conditions and maintenance operations and submit them for review, thus forming a standardized operation and maintenance process.

6. Video surveillance: The gateway can access multiple cameras to push data streams in real time, and view the real-time images of multiple cameras on site at the same time, making it convenient to intuitively understand information in case of emergencies.
