The status of machines in industrial manufacturing environments is complicated. Getting detailed machine status reports is often labor intensive and time consuming. However, it no longer has to be. Wireless data acquisition modules combined with Wi-Fi connectors and software can now be used to monitor the state of tower lights or Andon systems so machines are no longer islands. Factory personnel can now easily monitor the status of machines on mobile devices or from the control room.
Advantech’s latest product technology helps build more instrumented, interconnected and intelligent systems like the wireless tower light monitoring solution. Advantech’s WISE-4000 Wireless I/O modules provide the foundation, the EKI wireless AP provides reliable Wi-Fi connectivity, and Advantech’s WebAccess software provides a powerful user interface. Help realize Industry 4.0 by equipping your factory with a wireless tower light monitoring solution.
Advantech’s WISE-4000 series use HTML5 technology, for a customized user interface with the desired number of tower lights and layouts. Meanwhile, Advantech WebAccess HMI/SCADA Software can simultaneously manage multiple tower lights and other automation projects.
Advantech’s Wireless tower light monitoring solution can help you monitor your machines so they can be at their optimum level improving your overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).
