Case Study
Connecting the Unconnected:
Smarter Lines, Greater Yields for the Electronics Industry
In the fast-paced world of electronics manufacturing, efficiency and precision are paramount; yet, many production lines remain siloed, relying on manual data recording and isolated equipment. By integrating industrial-grade HMI and gateway solutions, manufacturers can bridge data islands, automate real-time monitoring, and connect the shop floor with enterprise systems. The HMI not only streamlines production and maintenance but also elevates the entire value chain—enabling smarter decision-making and accelerating the transition to intelligent manufacturing.
Challenges on the Shop Floor
The production area has equipment for soldering, cleaning, and packaging, but many machines operate independently, creating data silos. This limits efficient monitoring of production status and issue analysis.
Manual data recording requires dedicated staff to transcribe equipment information, leading to delays and inaccuracies, which result in gaps in management and data loss.
Data integration and monitoring are ineffective, as staff must manually review physical records that are often lost, unclear, or damaged, causing lengthy search times.
Weintek's Solutions
The cMT-G01 gateway connects equipment on the shop floor to create a local area network, facilitating data exchange with the factory's MES and ERP systems.
The cMT-G01 features advanced communication via Modbus TCP/IP with standard and non-standard machines, as well as instruments. It collects operational status, production data, recipe information, and alarms through data sampling and event logging, storing records on the device or USB.
With its built-in database and support for OPC UA and MQTT protocols, the cMT-G01 uploads data to MySQL databases and SCADA systems, ensuring timely availability and effective storage.
Outcomes and Benefits
Reduces workforce costs associated with data entry and maintenance.
Upgrades factories with intelligent capabilities, elevates standards, and enhances both customer satisfaction and confidence, leading to increased orders.
Ensures immediate notification and resolution of issues, reducing downtime and increasing production capacity.
