Manufacturing IIoT Use Cases for Measurement
Manufacturing has dramatically transformed with the advent of Industrial IoT (IIoT). At the heart of this revolution lies the ability to capture and analyze real-time data from the shop floor. Interface load cells play a critical role in this process, providing the foundation for a wide range of IIoT applications.
Interface provides solutions to advance production lines with real-time weight, force, and torque monitoring to maximize efficiency and productivity. By integrating Interface load cells into production lines, manufacturers can create IIoT-enabled smart factories that optimize processes and minimize waste. Our load cells provide accurate product weight, force, and torque data, enabling real-time adjustments to improve efficiency and product quality.
Unexpected equipment failures can be costly and disruptive. Interface load cells help to prevent this by monitoring equipment performance and identifying potential issues before they escalate. Our devices and instrumentation can implement predictive maintenance to minimize downtime and increase equipment lifespan.
Machine builders and manufacturers adopt IIoT and utilize cobots and robotics using IIoT capabilities that protect workers in the factory. Read Advancements in Robotics and Cobots Using Interface Sensors.
Manufacturers can enhance quality control by ensuring precise measurements throughout the production process. Our load cells can verify product weight, balance, and fill levels. Our sensors are also standard for verifying the weight of shipments, preventing errors, and reducing costs.
Smart Pallet IIoT Manufacturing Solution
In this application, our customer wants a pallet weighing solution in their warehouse to monitor their products and goods that come through daily. They also want to be able to verify if any products are stolen based on the weight and able to determine pricing for their goods based on the weight. They would also like a smart wireless solution.
Interface suggests using multiple SSB Sealed Beam Load Cells, and installing it within the corners of the bottom pallet. Heavy loads are put onto the pallet and captured when connected to WTS-AM-1E Wireless Strain Bridge Transmitter Modules. The force results are wirelessly transmitted and logged to the customer’s computer using the WTS-BS-6 Wireless Telemetry Dongle Base Station and supplied software.
