IoT DBR77 System Features

1. Cycle Time Data Collection
Establishes standard times for specific operations and monitors actual cycle times, enabling precise performance analysis.
2. Collecting Efficiency Data at Workstations
Supports the calculation of OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness), enabling the assessment of individual production workstation performance.


3. Collecting Data on Efficiency Loss Causes
Gathers information on machine downtime and quality issues to identify and eliminate sources of inefficiency.
4. Collecting Facility-Specific Data
Captures key data on resource consumption and site-specific events, supporting monitoring and optimization of resource management.

How It Works

Data Collection
The system collects data from various sources, including external sensors, visual indicators, and mobile applications. It can integrate directly with machines using interfaces like MODBUS, enabling precise monitoring of key production floor parameters such as cycle times, workstation efficiency, downtimes, and resource consumption.
Communication
After collection, data is transmitted to the cloud via an advanced communication module called a data broker. System modules communicate through Wi-Fi, LoRaWAN, or mobile data transmission, ensuring stable and secure data transfer. This module ensures a continuous flow of data to the cloud, enabling real-time processing.


Archiving
In the cloud, data is indexed by time and stored in a structured format, allowing for easy verification and integration. The system includes validation functions to ensure data integrity and analytical value. Anomalies are identified by algorithms, supporting early detection and prevention of issues.
Data Utilization
Collected data is used to generate real-time reports, support the digital twin, and create alerts and notifications in the application. With advanced algorithms and artificial intelligence, data can be processed and analyzed to facilitate data-driven decision-making and optimize production and logistics processes.
