About The Customer
IBCON Co., Ltd. is an automation systems supplier and systems integrator that assists Thai manufacturers with overcoming technical challenges. With more than 20 years of experience in Thailand’s industrial automation industry, IBCON has gained considerable expertise in modernizing manufacturing infrastructure. Because most Thai manufacturers still conduct manual machine monitoring, IBCON sought to improve management efficiency by developing equipment monitoring systems capable of automatic data collection, which would then reduce maintenance costs and streamline workflows.
The Challenge
In Thailand’s export-oriented economy, manufacturing is the primary driver of economic development and growth. However, globalization provides increasing opportunities to sell Thai products around the world, it also fosters fierce competition between rival companies. In this ever more competitive market environment, manufacturers must leverage every innovation available to maximize the value and efficiency of their production lines. Yet, most factories in Thailand have limited space for new equipment. Facilities also vary widely in terms of environmental conditions and the ease of adding new cabling. Moreover, with limited margins leaving little funding for infrastructure investments, most Thai manufacturers cannot afford to even replace existing equipment. Considering these constraints, an effective equipment monitoring system must be sufficiently compact and flexible to allow installation in diverse factory environments and to support a wide range of machinery and equipment.
The Solution
Advantech supplied its WISE-4050 wireless I/O modules, UNO-2473G embedded automation computer, and WebAccess/SCADA browser-based software to provide a platform solution that is easy to develop, configure, and deploy. Using this platform, IBCON was able to quickly design an innovative and cost-effective monitoring system that could be easily deployed in a range of factory environments. Advantech’s WebAccess/SCADA provides manufacturers with a browser-based software package for supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) operations. With the provision of a user-friendly HTML5-based dashboard equipped with extensive libraries and development tools for designing unique animated graphics displays, real-time data graphs, and data/alarm log reports, WebAccess/SCADA also facilitates data analysis for intelligent management functions, such as scheduling control and trend analysis.
