Synchronous Information Transmission in the Embedded Equipment Management Information System
Yue Jin Zhou · Applied Mechanics and Materials · 2013
The problem that remained unsolved is that the real status of the equipment can not be collected in real time and it results the different statuses between the equipment and the equipment management information system (EMIS). The problem can be solved through the application of the Internet of things. A wireless sensor network was established to monitor the equipment status on the shop floor in real time. It was managed by a management server. The management server was connected to the Intranet of the company to communicate with the EMIS. In this way an Internet of things was formed to ensure synchronous status information transmission between the equipment and the EMIS. This system has been used in a large-scale vehicle manufacturing plant. The significant efforts have been made.
