Under Industry 4.0, factories need to go through the process of digitalization so real-time management can satisfy the requests and requirements from different customers. Traditional manufacturing causes unnecessary waste in the production process, resulting in production inefficiency. iFactory OEE (Overall Equipment Efficiency management) i.app, monitors the real-time status of equipment and presents only the most important information such as production quality and ratios through data acquisition and dashboard presentation. Cloud platform / on-premise services enable managers to control on-site production information and management performance indicators from anywhere to fully optimize productivity. • Improve Productivity: Unlock hidden production capacity, Increase machine availability, Maximize production output, Improve production value per employee. • Reduce Loss: Minimize unplanned downtime, Reduce product defects, Eliminate process bottlenecks, Prevent unscheduled maintenance activities and costs. • Increase Profit: Improve asset utilization, Shorten production lead time, Optimize product quality, Drive a culture of continuous improvement.

Advantech (WISE-Factory) Facility Energy Management System (FEMS) I.App uses IoT technology to visualize the energy consumption data of high-energy-consuming machines and facilities on a dashboard and collects key indicators and reports to help managers discover abnormal energy consumption to make room for improvements. It continuously optimizes energy consumption, achieves optimal energy usage efficiency, and enables the factory manager / facility manager/ building manager to get a deeper understanding of power consumption, as well as provide factory managers and senior executives with an operations overview to quickly understand equipment and production status. In this way, it's possible to give early warnings and take proactive action.

Advantech (WISE-Factory) Maintenance Application provides an easy-to-use tool to speed up the visualization of all machine status and health conditions, which reduces unplanned downtime and equipment failures. Defined maintenance actions and preventive maintenance notifications can improve the operating efficiency of the factory, return on investment, and reduce maintenance costs. Machine maintenance and repair scheduling can be automated. Work can be dispatched to key technicians and supervisors for repair result approvals. Besides regular maintenance, Maintenance i.APP also provides daily checking functions and annual maintenance planning to easily track assets and parts associated with machines and equipment.

Shop Floor is a set of manufacturing management systems and tools for production tracking, scheduling, and status reporting. Data about work progress and production time is collected and reported by the Shop Floor system to increase productivity and shorten cycle times. In addition to providing workforce information to supervisors, real-time Shop Floor control is also useful for operators themselves. It provides operators with access to their own workflow, enabling them to set, reach, and exceed their own goals. With an incentive mechanism, operators can be further encouraged and motivated to achieve these goals, thereby improving performance and overall plant productivity. Also, recommend that the industrial-grade tablet - AIM-75S, which is anequipped with IP65-rated protection from water and dust ingress and a swappable battery that supports up to 12 hours of operation, making it suitable for diverse indoor and outdoor vertical applications. In addition to WLAN/LTE capabilities that enable mobile computing, AIM-75S can be integrated with optional peripherals such as a 1D/2D barcode scanner, LAN+COM, UHF RFID, and MSR modules to support a wide range of operations in the manufacturing, warehouse, retail, and field service industries. *10.1" industrial tablet with Android OS is also ready on the market.

Most of the factories use fixed-cycle maintenance and manual inspection to ensure the stability of machine operation, but it is nearly impossible to avoid unexpected abnormal condition which leads to unplanned downtime and causes heavy losses. The predictive maintenance system for robotic arm can solve above pain points caused by non-transparent machine status and information transmission lags. By quantifying robotic arm's health status and providing early warning of abnormal condition, it ensures the stable operation of the robot arm, improves the efficiency of the production line, avoids product quality issue, and reduces the cost of unnecessary maintenance.

The EDS-4000/G4000 Series industrial managed Ethernet switches unveils a new chapter of industrial networking. The strengthened security, easy-to-use design, and high performance coupled with high reliability strengthen your network resilience to help you face networking challenges. With this futureproof networking portfolio, you can effortlessly accelerate your digital transformation.

Moxa has outfitted the industry-certified EDR-G9010 Series all-in-one firewall/NAT/VPN/switch/routers with industrial Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) to defend against cybersecurity threats such as ransomware. The EDR-G9010 Series’ combination of advanced security features and high performance is the answer to keeping your industrial applications safe.

Moxa’s industrial network management software offers visibility of operational technology (OT) that allows network operators to make more informed decisions throughout network deployment, maintenance, and diagnostics. Furthermore, MXview now supports the MXview Wireless module to extend this visibility to Wi-Fi networks, featuring dynamic topologies for at-a-glance monitoring and roaming playback for more efficient troubleshooting.

The AWK-3131A 3-in-1 industrial wireless AP/bridge/client meets the growing need for faster data transmission speeds by supporting IEEE 802.11n technology with a net data rate of up to 300 Mbps. The AWK-3131A is compliant with industrial standards and approvals covering operating temperature, power input voltage, surge, ESD, and vibration. The two redundant DC power inputs increase the reliability of the power supply, and the AWK-3131A can be powered via PoE to make deployment easier. The AWK-3131A can operate on either the 2.4 or 5 GHz bands and is backwards-compatible with existing 802.11a/b/g deployments to future-proof your wireless investments. The Wireless add-on for the MXview network management utility visualizes the AWK's invisible wireless connections to ensure wall-to-wall Wi-Fi connectivity.

The MGate MB3170 and MB3270 are 1 and 2-port Modbus gateways, respectively, that convert between Modbus TCP, ASCII, and RTU communications protocols. The gateways provide both serial-to-Ethernet communication and serial (master) to serial (slave) communications. In addition, the gateways support simultaneously connecting serial and Ethernet masters with serial Modbus devices. The MGate MB3170 and MB3270 Series gateways can be accessed by up to 32 TCP master/clients or connect to up to 32 TCP slave/servers. Routing through the serial ports can be controlled by IP address, TCP port number, or ID mapping. A featured priority control function allows urgent commands to obtain an immediate response. All models are rugged, DIN-rail mountable, and offer optional built-in optical isolation for serial signals.
