[Problem] Data is accumulating in the PLC! But it's unusable!!

Factory equipment is a collection of sensors! Information from those sensors is gathered inside the PLC! But it can't be used...

A PLC (Programmable Logic Controller), also known as a "sequencer," is a computer used to control industrial equipment. Recently, it has become easy to connect to devices using LAN communication functions for the exchange of control signals and to obtain information from the devices. In many cases, the exchange of control signals and the acquisition of device information are used to operate the equipment. However, there are more effective uses, such as recording control histories and referencing the operational history of connected devices. This allows for a better understanding of operations and the quality of the equipment. ◆ Issues - We want to effectively utilize the vast amount of data stored in the PLC. ◆◆ Improvement Proposal - Implement automatic processing to retrieve and store data from the PLC. ◆◆◆ Expected Benefits - Gain new insights from the data within the PLC. - Create quality information from abundant data and implement improvements. ★ IDIoT Proposal - The Information Gateway will solve this problem. - Let's visualize the data from the PLC as time-series data on the Smart IoT Display.
