IG502 IoT gateway enabling remote monitoring of injection molding machines via edge computing

The solution includes injection molding machines, IG502 IoT edge gateway, and a remote management platform. The IG502 connects to the injection molding machine controller to collect real-time on-site data such as temperature, pressure, and lubricant levels. After filtering and preprocessing the data locally, it transmits the information to the remote management platform via dedicated protocols over the 4G network for advanced analysis and processing. Customers can access, analyze, and manage this data anytime through computers or mobile devices.

Maintenance teams can use the client platform to establish a maintenance channel with the on-site injection molding machines. They can remotely configure, debug, and upgrade the equipment, enabling remote maintenance and real-time monitoring. This approach improves operational efficiency by providing immediate insight into the machine’s status. Through predictive maintenance, issues are detected and resolved early, reducing downtime and extending the equipment’s lifespan.
