Embodiment Construction

[0049] figure 1 An overview of the prior art is shown, where each room (A, B, C) has a data collection architecture completely separate from the other rooms. Connecting devices for information requires a significant investment in hardware and software.

[0050] figure 2 The same scheme is shown modified according to the principles of the invention. In this solution, none of the operating units of the different lines L1, L2, L3, L4 are arranged to connect in a network a computer control system generally under the control of a program executed by a server. The computer control system of the operating unit communicates with one or more mobile control units P1, P2, P3, P4. At least one of these cells is associated with its corresponding line. The units may be unique, the same unit or multiple mobile units. Each unit receives information about operating conditions, set configuration parameters or diagnostic conditions from the operating group of different lines L1 , L2 , L3 ,...

Abstract

Plant (1) for manufacturing products, in particular a plant for applying a coating on parts, comprising a plurality of apparatuses (11, 12, 13) characterized in that it comprises: at least a radiofrequency transmitting device (111, 112, 113), transmitting with a pre-set periodicity a radio signal containing at least a unique identifier, allowing to identify each apparatus (11, 12, 13); at least aportable device (31, 32) carried by an operator (21, 22) receiving the signals transmitted by the radio-transmitting device (111, 112, 113) embedded in the apparatus (11, 12, 13); at least a specificprogram (41, 42) loaded on and performed by said portable device (4) for extracting an univocal unique identifier of said apparatus (11, 12, 13) and detecting the distance operator-apparatus through the analysis of the trend of the radio signal; the radio-transmitting device (111, 112, 113) being an electronic module operating according to the Bluetooth standard, performing an active function of transmission known as advertising function of beacon, according to which it transmits periodically its unique identifier and optionally also a part of the measurements recorded by the sensors with which is provided, having at least a remote configuring / setting channel through radio-frequency communication with an external control device with which it can exchange data packets; a connecting procedure between said portable device (31, 32) and the radio- frequency transmitting device (111, 112, 113), in receiving configuration, to receive information on the working status of said apparatuses (111,112, 113); said signals being transmitted to a remote server (200), preferably a cloud, for monitoring the working conditions of said apparatuses (11, 12, 13) composing the plant (1).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of command and control of machines in production facilities. The following description relates to the technical field of machines for application without loss of generality by spraying coatings onto products. In production facilities for applying coatings to components, such machines are typically used in production facilities comprising various devices, usually arranged in series. In particular, the invention relates to a method and apparatus for collecting information about an ongoing production process. Background technique [0002] In the present description, the word coating is used as a general term including enamels, varnishes, paints, inks, clear coatings, sub-coats, adhesives and glues, and generally any sprayable substance with an organic base. [0003] The object to be coated is preferably but not exclusively a plate with two main dimensions, made of wood, plastic, glass, asbestos cement or any ...
