In the manufacturing industry, everyone is familiar with the term industrial Internet of things, and the industrial Internet has gradually become a key link to realize smart factories and intelligent manufacturing, which shows the importance of industrial Internet of things. How to deploy and establish the industrial Internet of things has become a problem that every machining enterprise needs to consider. This article will tell you how to deploy the industrial Internet of things.
Why do we advocate the industrial Internet of things so much today (related reading: can the industrial Internet of things (iiot) really bring revolutionary changes to enterprises?)? In fact, its real advantage is not in system upgrading, but in developing constant data to collect and evaluate the continuous improvement efficiency of the feedback loop and provide necessary information for the industrial Internet of things strategy. For the construction of industrial Internet of things. First of all, what we should do is:
1. Target setting
The main goal of deploying the industrial Internet of things is to reduce costs and improve efficiency (related reading: how to match tools with machine tools), or to achieve remote monitoring of systems and processes. After determining the target, we can analyze the component according to the existing equipment and data.
This process is very important. In most cases, it is impossible to replace all the old equipment, and the cost is too high. Therefore, in practice, machining enterprises tend to integrate communication equipment and protocol conversion software to connect all systems, so as to effectively use existing equipment.
2. Device connection
The Internet of things is a "network", so it is necessary to realize connection, so enterprises must connect machines and sensors from different manufacturers. For old equipment without communication ability, sensors can be integrated for processing, and a sensor network can be strategically re deployed to meet the requirements of data collection.
After the device completes the connection and realizes the communication between the devices, it is also necessary to consider how to push the data. The real power of industrial Internet of things and cloud computing comes from data centralization and integration of applications to extract and process information. Many industrial Internet of things platforms now provide databases with various capabilities, from data storage time processing to equipment supply and reporting. Although they are usually configured for specific applications, many of them are built for simple and rapid implementation.
3. Remove obstacles
In the industrial Internet of things, privacy and security are important obstacles to investment in the industrial Internet of things. When collecting and transmitting sensitive data, it must be protected. Therefore, the industrial Internet of things should take special security measures to ensure that the system can safely collect, monitor, process and store data. However, to ensure security, it is necessary to balance the costs related to time and resources with data protection.
