Factory Remote Facility Management Application Scenarios

Remote HVAC Monitoring System

HVAC monitoring plays a key role in facility management as it’s a major contributor to the maintenance and energy consumption expenses of a company. We know its importance; therefore, we offer the solution to track the energy consumption and performance of heating, ventilation and air conditioning unit to prevent failures and inefficiencies.

Machine Remote Management and Maintenance

Advantech helps transform factories by building intelligent machines with process visualization and remote monitoring to ensure efficient production. ECU-1051 gateway does cloud data transformation and optimization and EKI-2525 Ethernet switch uploads data to the cloud. Its user-friendly management panel makes management simpler. WISE-InsightAPM/VPN helps customers connect data, equipment, and network systems to the cloud. Simply click on the visual management page to create VPN server and client credentials.

Condition-Based Preventive Maintenance

Advantech LoRaWAN I/O modules and sensors play key roles in preventive maintenance as they supports continuous data collection and condition monitoring. By integrating with WISE-DataConnect, Advantech solution gives an overview of facility performance through WISE-PaaS or other third-party visualization dashboards. Consolidating key indicators and producing insight reports, assists engineers in analyzing abnormal conditions, and helps owners in data-driven decision making.

HVAC System Monitoring Solution

Advantech provides a solution to monitor HVAC systems. HVAC data is collected by the ADAM-6000 series. ADAM-6017 IoT Ethernet Remote I/O module obtains flow rates, pressure, and temperature data. The ADAM-6051 module activates and monitors the digital signals like alarms and tower light status. The ADAM modules are connected by an EKI-2525 industrial grade switch that sends data to the control room via WebAccess/SCADA and Advantech’s WISE-DataConnect, which provides the overall management and control for the HVAC system.

Smart Meter Monitoring

We know how meters are indispensable for collecting and managing data in many acquisition locations. From the moment power enters in your factory, Advantech smart meter monitoring solution will take care of monitoring, analyzing, measuring and controlling to ensure your distribution system efficiency improve your equipment productivity and life, and further to reduce cost and increase profile.

Transmitting Critical Data from Factory Assets to IoT Systems

To connect key factory assets in manufacturing systems to an industrial IoT system, ADAM-6700 Node-RED I/O gateway is the perfect solution which enables data collection, analysis, transmission and visualization. Alarms, signal towers, and key machine status / parameters can easily be acquired remotely so users can visualize the data on the ADAM-6700 Node-RED built-in dashboard and take immediate actions. Data can be configured with Node-RED, and transmitted to databases, and SCADA/MES in the cloud.
