Industry situation

With the expansion of the scale of traditional manufacturing enterprises and the continuous increase of equipment types, the traditional troubleshooting, processing and maintenance of equipment mostly rely on the employees to complete the service content on the site. The manual management mode can no longer meet the effective management of people, machines, materials, methods, environment and testing in the production process. In the traditional way, not only does it increase the cost of equipment maintenance, but it also greatly affects the production progress of the factory and reduces the efficiency of personnel management.

The 5G smart factory actively built by Mantu Technology focuses on the five aspects of online production equipment, environmental protection monitoring, energy consumption management, production performance and video linkage, realizes the docking of factory ERP, MES, TMS and other systems, moves the overall factory management to the cloud, and realizes digital management.

system composition 

The digital management system of Mantu 5G smart factory is mainly composed of 5G IoT intelligent gateway MT-BOX, 5G low delay wireless communication network and MTIC integrated cloud platform, together with the factory's own MES, ERP and other systems.

● 5G IoT intelligent gateway MT-BOX: responsible for online collection of various sensors, electricity meters/water meters and PLC data, and data upload through 5G wireless communication interface; At the same time, it supports linkage operation with remote control facilities.

● 5G low delay wireless communication network: the 5G low delay wireless communication network provided by the operator transmits the data uploaded by 5G IoT intelligent terminal to the MTIC integrated cloud platform.

● MTIC integrated cloud platform: be responsible for statistics, analysis and decision-making of collected data, so as to facilitate the monitoring center to timely adjust exceptions, timely repair faults, timely process data, and effectively carry out factory digital management.

Scheme features

● Low delay: make full use of the characteristics of 5G wireless communication network, such as low delay, high bandwidth, and millisecond level data transmission capacity, and strive to achieve the "cloud is the scene" experience.

● High security and reliability: the system can effectively prevent illegal access, illegal access, virus infection, hacker attack and other network attacks, and has high security and confidentiality; The system adopts mature, stable and universal technologies and equipment, which can ensure the long-term stable operation of the system, and has strong fault tolerance and system recovery capabilities.

● Equipment linkage: support linkage with terminal peripherals, and customize the start and stop status of control valves.

● Risk early warning and intelligent analysis: compare the data collected in real time with the set threshold. The MTIC integrated cloud platform supports AI intelligent analysis and risk early warning.
