Industrial IoT

At HashStudioz, we are working with factories and plants to deliver smart solutions. In this case study, we are going to share the detail of the Industry 4.0 project which we recently completed. This project aimed to develop and deploy the solution leading to increased transparency of plant operation.

TASK OVERVIEW

Business Use Case

Customer Challenge: Management was located remotely from this plant. The customer wanted to know the real-time breakdowns on every assembly line with some other parameters such as production count, rejections count, OE calculations, etc.

Constraint: Timeline and budget.

Hardware: Siemens PLC S -300 and Pro-face HMI

Solution Approach

In collaboration with Adept Engineers, we studied the life cycle of the part which was getting manufactured. We had multiple discussions with plant management and analyzed critical data which should be captured. We deployed the IoT gateway for getting data from Siemens PLC, Pro-face HMI, and other SENSORS. Since we fetched the data from the PLC and HMI and used a Raspberry Pi 3 as a gateway, we could deliver the solution within the customer’s budget without adding any expensive hardware.

OE calculations were managed in the cloud. A user-friendly dashboard was created to display the following data:

Machine Activities

Current Health of lines and Plant

Production data

MTTR and MTBF
