Photovoltaic cleaning robots operating on solar panels using InHand's IG502 and Device Manager solution

主なポイント

IoT Solution for Photovoltaic Cleaning Robots The IG502 and the Device Manager, together with the customer’s robot management platform, enable remote centralized monitoring and management of robots. Solution​ InHand provides a comprehensive solution, combining a gateway of IG502 edge computing gateway and the Device Manager cloud.

背景

As the use of solar power generation continues to expand, solar power plants are growing in scale and number. To maintain their efficiency, regular cleaning of solar panels is essential. However, manual cleaning is time-consuming and inefficient. To enhance cleaning efficiency and reduce labor costs, the solar panel cleaning robot has emerged, which autonomously perform cleaning operations, effectively removing dust and dirt from solar panels to ensure the plants’ maximum power generation capacity. Nevertheless, as solar power plants scale up, maintenance engineers face challenges of monitoring and managing all robots simultaneously and promptly responding to robot malfunctions….

Photovoltaic cleaning robot maintaining solar panels using InHand IG502 IoT gateway

InHand provides a comprehensive solution, combining a gateway of IG502 edge computing gateway and the Device Manager cloud. Together with the customer’s existing robot management platform, this solution enables remote centralized monitoring and management of robots.

Distributed robots connect to the LoRa host via LoRa, and the IG502 links to the LoRa host through RS485, enabling communication. Using Modbus RTU protocol, the IG502 collects data from multiple robots, filtering it to save upload bandwidth. It detects alarms and converts data for the robot management platform. Customers can also configure the IG502 to respond to platform commands, enabling unified modification of robot parameters and batch upgrades.

Customers can remotely and centrally monitor robots via the management platform, accessing real-time data on status, efficiency, and cleaning progress. Analyzing performance data enables timely response to malfunctions, optimizing cleaning strategies and maintenance plans for improved effectiveness. Remote firmware upgrades enhance maintenance efficiency.

The Device Manager enables unified management of the IG502, facilitating remote batch upgrades, configuration, and diagnostics, significantly reducing maintenance efforts after IG502 deployment.
