Time-Based and Event-Based Industrial Data Collection Systems
Collecting data during the production phase plays an important role in preventing major losses for the industrial sector.
When you establish a successful industrial data collection system from start to finish, you can intervene in dangerous situations by producing emergency solutions. The data collection system keeps the field pressure, air flow, door opening time, flow level, water level and any other measurement data that may be needed in the database. This data appears as output on the system administrator's screen.
In other words, you will see incomprehensible data as meaningful outputs. This is a very useful system for both business managers and potential customers. Keeping records of the processes operating in the field allows you to get detailed information about the field and increases the quality. Intervening in the events that go wrong or missing in your process means that you will prevent production disruptions and compensate for errors and produce much higher quality products. Therefore, the data collection system quickly warns you if you go beyond the levels you set.
Data Collection Types
You can benefit from 2 different options when collecting data. The first of these is event-based data collection. The other is time-based data collection. No manpower is required when collecting data in this automation system. It collects data and turns it into output completely through automation. You only need manpower in front of the screen where the data will appear as output. Thus, instead of outsourcing data collection to manpower, you can save on employee salaries and meet this function by investing in automation.
Time-Based and Event-Based Industrial Data Collection Systems
In time-based data collection systems, you enable the automation to record data within the time period you enter. After the timeout, the data comes to the screen as a printout and you can meaningfully observe, for example, pressure value changes during that period. Event-based data collection warns you when the pressure rises or the flow level exceeds. When the system encounters unexpected events while recording data, it prevents disasters by directly displaying warnings in the form of meaningful outputs on your screen.
Since Industry 4.0 is the software era, introducing the hardware and devices you have in your processes to the software and evaluating the data will make you ready for the new era.
