Remote maintenance and diagnosis for mobile machines
April 2012Maintenance, Test & Measurement, Calibration
A consequence of globalisation is that the distance to the customer keeps increasing. Costs for the provision of services are rising and it is more important than ever to minimise downtime in the case of a malfunction. With ifm electronic’s CANremote radio gateway, a complete hardware and software package for remote maintenance and diagnosis of mobile machines via CoDeSys is available for the first time.
Through a GSM/GPRS/EDGE radio connection, the CANremote radio gateway transfers data from the machine control either to the programming or diagnostic system of the machine manufacturer in real-time, or to the customer-specific web portal of ifm electronic. The real-time connection allows service staff to access the program code, the debugging and the data in the machine control.
Parameters, machine information and position data can be stored on a predefined Internet site, and visually represented in a customer and machine specific manner. For example, functions such as a vehicle and machine overview as well as tracking via Google Maps are possible.
