Case Study: Home Appliance Manufacturing Company achieves real-time production monitoring and downtime avoidance with Advantech

How Advantech’s Machine Data Acquisition Solutions Take Manufacturing to the Next Level

Home Appliance Manufacting Company, a leading home-appliance manufacturer in Thailand, needed to track productivity and key process parameters across diverse production lines where disparate sensors and PLCs limited connectivity and obscured data. They turned to Advantech and its iFactory solution packages—specifically the ESRP-PCS-UNO2271 for equipment connectivity and the SRP-FPV220 for process visualization—to address those challenges.

Advantech deployed the ESRP-PCS-UNO2271 to deliver 100% data acquisition (supporting 450 PLC drivers, self-defined protocols and protocol conversion for up to 15 branded PLCs) and the SRP-FPV220 web-based dashboard for real-time monitoring, Excel reporting, alarms and SQL storage. The solution reduced engineering time, enabled predictive maintenance to avoid costly downtime, and drove data‑driven process optimization and higher equipment utilization—backed by 1,500 runtime tags and complete controller/sensor data capture.
