Case Study: Leading Automotive Parts Manufacturing Company achieves real-time production tracking and reduced downtime with Advantech UNO-2272G Embedded Automation Solution

Advantech’s UNO-2000 Embedded Hardware Solution for Data Management

Leading Automotive Parts manufacturing Company, a round‑the‑clock automotive parts maker in Spain, needed to move off a pen‑and‑paper control system that left production issues unnoticed for up to 12 hours. To track production status, 17 alarm signals from two large stamping presses, and collect data for predictive maintenance, they worked with a system integrator and selected Advantech hardware — notably the UNO-2272G-J2AE (part of the UNO-2000 embedded automation series) and ADAM-4017 analog input modules — for affordable, industrial‑grade connectivity and a platform for customized IoT software.

Advantech’s solution converted press outputs to Modbus, aggregated analog and digital signals with the UNO-2272G and ADAM modules, and ran the customer’s Linux‑based monitoring software over Ethernet (Modbus TCP/IP) to deliver real‑time production tracking and alarm visibility. The deployment reduced fault‑detection lag from roughly 12 hours to near real time, cut downtime and corrective‑action time, materially improved production throughput, and set the plant up for a future, factory‑wide predictive maintenance rollout.
