Textile factories, as typical labor-intensive industries, have long relied on a large amount of manual labor for material handling and production line management.

 However, with the advancement of technology and the development of intelligent equipment, the application of AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) in textile factories has become increasingly widespread, gradually becoming a standard configuration for the digital transformation of textile factories.

Materials and products required for textile production are transported by AGVs to various storage locations for classification and stacking, typically including operations such as raw material inbound and outbound, material inbound and outbound, and product inbound and outbound.

 These operations pose increasingly high challenges to the operational performance of AGVs, becoming a focal point of concern for enterprises.

Demand Analysis

1. Equipment Networking: It is required to achieve networking of AGVs and enable real-time communication with the MES (Manufacturing Execution System) platform.
2. Intelligent Operation and Maintenance: Integrate with the factory's operation and maintenance management system to realize centralized monitoring, management, and intelligent operation and maintenance of equipment.
3. Stability and Flexibility: Compatible with flexible switching under different network conditions in the factory area, ensuring continuous equipment networking and data security.

Based on the above demands, Wutongbolian provides an AGV intelligent networking and data acquisition solution based on industrial intelligent gateways.

 By connecting to the PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) of the AGV controller, the industrial intelligent gateway can perform data acquisition and edge computing, transmitting information such as the operational status, transportation speed, and location of the AGV to the operation and maintenance management platform for remote monitoring, automatic alarms, and intelligent operation and maintenance. It can also transmit inbound and outbound information of various materials and products to the MES platform, providing reliable data support for production management, product management, and other tasks, facilitating enterprises to make scientific and reasonable decisions.

Main Features

1. Networking Communication: Capable of networking communication via 5G/4G/WIFI, providing multi-network redundancy to ensure automatic switching between different networks; offering斷點(diǎn)續(xù)傳 (breakpoint resumption) to guarantee data integrity and security when devices are offline, and automatically reconnecting when the network is restored.
2. Multi-Center Data Transmission: Possesses the ability to transmit data to multiple centers, integrating with the MES platform, operation and maintenance management system, and WMS (Warehouse Management System) to ensure real-time data sharing and updates, facilitating the construction of workshop dashboards or IoT cloud platforms for visual applications.
3. Automatic Alarm: Automatically triggers alarms when abnormal data is detected, notifying via WeChat, SMS, email, etc., thereby generating work orders in the operation and maintenance system to quickly locate, diagnose, and take measures to ensure the safe and reliable conduct of logistics transportation work.
