[Case Study] Visualizing over 1,500 pieces of machinery and equipment with wireless LAN
Visualize the factory using a "mesh network"! Create an environment where you can obtain real-time data on the operating status and failure conditions of machinery and equipment.
We received a request to build a network that allows us to obtain real-time data directly from equipment, even from a distance, regarding the operational status and failure conditions of machinery that could only be confirmed directly at the processing site, in order to improve the overall productivity of the factory. In advancing the construction of a wireless LAN environment, the most important factor was the 'communication reliability' that minimizes network interruptions. After installing and testing the Silex "BR-400AN" and "BR-300AN," we were surprised to find that there were no communication interruptions during the testing period. The affordable price, along with the rich features, guarantees, and optional tools, also contributed to the decision to adopt these devices. The introduction of the "BR-400AN" allowed us to reduce the necessary LAN wiring to a minimum, and we found that the wireless channel design, which typically needs to be considered with standard access points, was almost unnecessary. This enabled us to significantly reduce the costs of infrastructure construction. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.*

basic information
**Case Summary** ■Challenges - To improve the overall productivity of the factory, it was necessary to establish a network that allows for real-time data acquisition directly from the equipment, regarding the operational status and failure conditions of machinery that could only be checked directly at the processing site. - Considering the layout changes for over 1,500 machines, wired connections were to be avoided as much as possible, necessitating stable data acquisition via wireless LAN. ■Results - The infrastructure construction costs were significantly reduced because only the minimum necessary LAN wiring was required, and the wireless channel design that typically needs to be considered for standard access points was almost unnecessary. - Another benefit was that, since the products from Silex come with a 5-year warranty, there was no need to consider network maintenance costs. ■Products Implemented - Mesh Network System BR-400AN: 15 units - Wireless Bridge BR-300AN: 373 units *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.*
