Welding Factory Current Monitoring
Automatic current monitoring for 12 welding machines with CSV storage for ERP analysis.
PnP IoTs installed a wired Ethernet data-acquisition system at four factory locations. Current measurements from welding machines are collected automatically and stored on a mini PC.
Customer Requirement
- Monitor 12 welding machines with a maximum current of 600 A.
- Save measured values as CSV files on a mini PC.
- Provide the stored data to the customer’s ERP company for analysis.
System Configuration
| Item | Configuration |
|---|---|
| Welding machines | 12 machines |
| Installation groups | 4 factory locations |
