Real-time Monitoring and Control in 5G Smart Factory
Real-time Monitoring and Control in 5G Smart Factory

The production, assembly line, inspection, and process equipment on the production line connect to the IR624 via Ethernet or serial port. The IR624 then transmits the production line data in real-time to the remote business platform using a high-speed 5G cellular network. The business platform utilizes big data to conduct in-depth analysis of the collected production data, providing real-time status of the production line and enabling live monitoring of the production process. Additionally, by utilizing Ethernet ports to locally segment VLANs, the IR624 interfaces with the factory’s MES system, facilitating tracking of material usage, production progress, and other data. Furthermore, InHand also provides the DeviceLive equipment operation management platform, which establishes remote channels for equipment management and maintenance.
