Package Machines Remote Monitoring
Business Challenge
As living standards improve, the need for effective packaging to preserve freshness and protect goods becomes more crucial. In venues like shopping malls, the demand for well-packaged, pre-weighed produce has surged. Consequently, industries require advanced packaging machinery, which introduces challenges in coordinating control systems, including PLCs, sensors, and SCADA, and managing lifting station controls and SCADA communication within factories.
Project Technical Requirements:
- Routers should be 100% industrial-grade, capable of withstanding production-related vibrations.
- Dual SIM support ensures uninterrupted connectivity with two operators for complete signal coverage.
- Routers should accommodate a broad power input range to fit the system’s needs.
- The router must offer rich interface options (RS232, RS485, Ethernet) for streamlined equipment connectivity.
- Routers need 4G LTE capability to prevent delays and package loss in time-sensitive processes.
- Routers must support multiple data encryption tunnels to secure transmissions.
Solution
For this distinctive application, we’ve chosen Orxcel’s 01 Cellular Router based on 3G/4G LTE technology. Its fully rugged industrial design, APN/VPDN private network access, and dual SIM (dual module optional) backup guarantee data transmission security and provide high speed, reliable routing, and data transmission capabilities. Additionally, the router’s versatile interfaces eliminate the need for extra, costly Ethernet switches, presenting an economically sound solution tailored to the application’s unique requirements.
