Manufacturers are always in need of flexible and reliable systems
to control and monitor the manufacturing process, and Flexible
Manufacturing System (FMS) is one of the answers. By using FMS,
manufacturers can produce customized products faster than ever
to meet market requirements.
The company mentioned here has developed such an FMS, and a PC
with MOXA C218 is the key part of the product line monitoring
system. Each product line is equipped with one PC and one MOXA
multiport board. MOXA multiport boards not only connect to the
overhead signboards to inform the operators of current operation
status, but also connect to a high precision digital scales to
make sure products are not over the weight limit. Other devices,
such as temperature/humidity sensors, PLCs, and quality ratio
counters, can also be connected.
Overall Benefit:
A flexible and reliable automation system improves productivity.
