Global data monitoring and management system for industrial manufacturing scenarios

The manufacturing industry is facing new challenges as the environmental constraints are getting stricter, raw materials scarcer, and production more expensive. Companies are trying to make a full shift from traditional manufacturing to intelligent manufacturing and the "intelligent factory" is crucial to achieving this goal. An intelligent factory promotes flexibility and intelligence by implementing solutions that ensure production, products, services, and all processes are measurable, controllable, and adaptable in an integrated environment.

Global data monitoring and management system for industrial manufacturing scenarios

Solutions

Smart factory space, data, and conditions and the three major elements of a smart environment. A smart factory employs technological solutions that collect, monitor, evaluate, and sort out data with accuracy and in real time. wireless sensing equipment is used to detect important elements, processes, and events, and monitor and manage related data, such as the precise location of the target persons and objects on the factory floor, or environmental data. The equipment is easy to deploy and allows for seamless tracking of the target persons and objects and monitoring of environmental parameters.

Technical principle

The UbiBot platform perfectly integrates intelligent sensing devices and the Internet. intelligent sensing devices access the platform, collect the target data and transmit it to the UbiTrack platform, where the positioning or environmental data is analyzed and processed. The platform then provides feedback to the user in the relevant form, such as over-limit alarms. The platform can be accessed by mobile phones, computers, and other communication devices.

UWB positioning anchor is deployed in the factory area. The tracking tags are attached to the target persons or objects. The system can accurately locate the position of the tracking tag in real time, and display the positioning information of people, vehicles, or objects on the screen in the factory control center without delay. This system can be used to carry out the control of a safety area, to monitor personnel on duty, or to monitor real-time trajectory of vehicles. Accuracy up to 10cm.

System Design

Our data monitoring and management system for industrial manufacturing parks is based on the private cloud deployment model. It employs wireless sensing equipment that efficiently and accurately monitors and collects data in real time. Linking UbiTrack and UbiBot platforms allows for real-time interoperability of collected data, visualization of positioning data, traceability of historical data, and combining multiple algorithms. Our platforms enable factories and manufacturing parks to achieve comprehensive supervision and control of important parameters, such as exhaust gas and wastewater levels, and to timely adapt and strengthen worker safety measures.

Case Study

All the data, including data regarding the location of target persons or objects, production hours, inspection trajectory, and other relevant data, is recorded and integrated. Historical data is easily accessed and displayed in a visually convenient manner, allowing for efficient tracking and manageing of the data.

Case overview

A vehicle factory covers a total area of around 4 square kilometers, the manufacturing platform consists of two general assembly plants,a commissioning plant, a painting plant, four overhaul divisions,and a number of management divisions. The factory wants to achieve the following goals: ①Accurate factory-wide real-time positioning of workers and equipment,real-time data collection;②Real-time monitoring of workers' health indicators, warning alarm; ③Work area and safety area division, alarm function for high-risk area intrusion; ④Detection and monitoring of interference between the position of workers and specific installations, with alarm function; ⑤Traceability，analysis, and playback of data on the actions and behavior of safety personnel.

Case pain points

①The problems such as the large scope of operation,the difficulty of grasping the working status of personnel in real time, the difficulty of supervising regional operations,and hidden safety hazards have long plagued the supervisory level.②Work equipment storage, personnel location monitoring, avoiding area trespassing leading to accidents, etc. are also challenges in factories today.③The information on material flow is lagging behind.The delay in information exchange between workshops leads to insufficient receipt of materials, standby personnel issues, etc.As a result,the production capacity is not fully utilized,the manual storage of materials is hard to track, which is one of the reasons for the difficulty in finding materials, etc

Implementation program-1

If the waste gas is discharged by an exhaust pipe, monitoring points should be set up on the flue;if the monitoring waste gas is discharged in a mixed manner, monitoring points should be set up on the common flue or on the flue respectively, Organic waste gas recycling and treatment devices should be set up separately at the entrance and at the discharge port monitoring points.

Implementation program-2

The UWB positioning base station (UbiTrack-A1/2) is spatialy positioned in the area where positioning is required, and is deployed in a group of 4 anchors at the optimal location to ensure the stability of the received data. The omni-directional antenna of UWB positioning base station can achieve a wider coverage and higher positioning accuracy by using a RJ45 network cable; the highest speed can be as high as 100Mbit/s-500Mbit/s and the response time only 0.1ns, which guarantees accurate real-time monitoring and management of positioning data.

Platform Functions

Real-time location, anti-collision

Real-time positioning of personnel, goods, vehicles, and other target objects, with the search function that allows easy and quick access to the info regarding the location of specific personnel and assets. The location data is updated in real time, and the positioning accuracy can reach 10cm.
When the personnel enter the vehicle warning erea, the tags initiate a warning, prompting the driver and personnel to pay attention to safety.

Platform Functions

Real-time location, anti-collision

Track playback, video linkage

The collected data can be queried and played back based on different criteria, including time (year, month, day, hour, minute), tags, personnel type, assets, etc. The data is linked to video technology that can be used to quickly and accurately locate specific people and objects, making it easy to provide timely assistance.

Track playback, video linkage

E-fence, thermal analysis

Different tags and tag groups can be set up for different permissions, with different warning rules. This allows for the e-fence to be divided into different sections and to open/close at a specific time. Warning is initiated when a person or vehicle enter the protected area or when the fence is open/closed at the wrong time. Any shape of electronic fence is supported. A visual heat map of personnel stay time in a specific location is provided according to the historical positioning data.
