Affordable and quick start for IoT in existing facilities! This is the first step towards a smart factory♪
What should I start with for IoT? Is it cost-effective? The answers are here...! Inaba Electric supports you from a small start to full-scale operation!
IoT implementation, digital transformation, and smart factory development are all challenges that need to be addressed, but the actual situation on the ground is... - Diverse manufacturers of equipment - Outdated devices from the Showa era - Use of products from defunct manufacturers - Products from various years - A mix of general-purpose and specialized machines These issues make it difficult to collect data. Even if you think about gathering data from the main controller... - Does the upper system support communication with that controller? - Is there a communication unit available for cases where it cannot connect? - The risk of modifying the program of equipment that is functioning properly - Uncertainty about the location of necessary data within the controller There are numerous problems to tackle! Given this background, Inaba Electric Industry recommends starting with a system that can collect data without making electrical or software modifications to the equipment. This is "Retrofit IoT." Implementing IoT can be challenging due to the difficulty in calculating cost-effectiveness. Therefore, we propose a way to take the first step towards IoT implementation with products that are: - Low-cost - Installable as DIY - Expandable as needed
