Production Line Monitoring
The modern production line monitoring system facilitates the need of remote monitoring that allows supervisors to see what is happening on a factory floor whether the lines are running slowly or stopped. Implementing such an operation requires a reliable and smart device networks to transmit data back and forth between the control center and devices in real time, and to ensure that automated systems run seamlessly via both wired and wireless networks. Moxa offers the diverse field network communication for multiprotocol connectivity for integrating different brand field equipments. In addition, Moxa’s smart networks deliver open, self-healing, highly secure Ethernet connectivity from field device networks to MES/SCADA systems.

Semiconductor manufacturing is a challenging practice that combines complex processes and machinery in a clean room environment. Different types of factory automation equipment must be configured, maintained, and efficiently utilized to guarantee the precision required to build such high-specification components. These machines are typically controlled and monitored using on-board PCs. Technicians and supervisors must enter the clean room to use the equipment, however, this reduces productivity and jeopardizes the integrity of the clean room environment.
KVM solutions give staff local and secure access to semiconductor equipment in the plant, along with centralized remote access for engineers, technicians, and supervisors based outside the clean room. Using a standard network, and without installing remote monitoring software onto each computer, multiple production lines on the factory floor can be monitored and controlled simultaneously for inspection, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
Not only are robots and automated systems commonplace on farms, they’re also sweeping onto factory floors. Factory automation systems can streamline factory workflow and increase productivity while also boosting the quality of the product and sustainability of the business. The right solution for your factory automation system will vary, with some using software to aid human workers and tackle more dangerous tasks, while other systems are completely hands-off.
Industrial automation solutions are optimising facility management by simplifying processes and removing the need for humans to complete repetitive tasks. Programmed facility management systems can:
- Gather and compile large amounts of data, which can be used to ensure the quality of factory equipment.
- Alert to issues straight away and avoid unnecessary damage.
- Manage your building and control mechanical, lighting and ventilation all with the touch of a button.
Industries that maintain internal calibration labs or measure frequency and time in production may reduce cost and improve efficiency by using GPS-based timing receivers. Calibration cycles may be eliminated while maintaining traceability to national standards. The Thunderbolt Lab Kit is specifically tailored to this task, providing everything required in a single package including active GPS antenna, cables, power supply and connectors.
