Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention pertains to Internet of Things (IoT) monitoring, specifically relating to a real-time monitoring system for the status of printing equipment based on the Internet of Things. Background Technology
[0002] In the printing industry, the stable operation of printing equipment is crucial for ensuring production efficiency and product quality. However, traditional methods of monitoring printing equipment have many limitations. On the one hand, traditional monitoring mainly relies on regular manual inspections and simple local instrument displays. Manual inspections are not only labor-intensive but also difficult to monitor in real time, failing to detect subtle anomalies during equipment operation. Intervention is often delayed until obvious malfunctions occur, leading to production interruptions and significant economic losses. Simple local instrument displays provide limited data, failing to comprehensively reflect the complex operating status of the equipment and providing insufficient basis for equipment maintenance and performance optimization. On the other hand, some existing monitoring systems have limited functionality and incomplete data collection, often limited to single data types, making it difficult to achieve comprehensive monitoring of mechanical, electrical, and process aspects of the equipment. Regarding data transmission, some systems use traditional communication methods, resulting in high latency, failing to meet real-time monitoring needs, and lacking sufficient data security, posing risks of data leakage and tampering. In equipment status assessment, there is a lack of accurate models and algorithms, making it difficult to adapt to different production conditions and resulting in inaccurate predictions. Furthermore, the lack of effective virtual mapping and remote collaboration means that the equipment's operating status cannot be intuitively presented, making remote maintenance difficult and reducing the efficiency of maintenance resource allocation.
