[Case Study] Visualizing over 1,500 pieces of machinery and equipment with wireless LAN
Visualize the factory using a mesh network! Create an environment where you can acquire real-time data on the operational status and failure conditions of machinery and equipment.
To improve the overall productivity of the factory, we received a request to build a network that allows us to obtain real-time data directly from equipment, regarding the operating status and failure conditions of machinery that could only be checked directly at the processing site. In advancing the establishment of a wireless LAN environment, the most important factor we focused on was 'communication reliability', which minimizes network interruptions. After installing and testing the Silex "BR-400AN" and "BR-300AN", we were surprised to find that there were no communication interruptions throughout the testing period. The fact that these devices were reasonably priced while offering comprehensive features, guarantees, and optional tools also contributed to their adoption. The introduction of the "BR-400AN" allowed us to minimize LAN wiring to the bare essentials, and it also eliminated the need for wireless channel design that typically needs to be considered with standard access points, significantly reducing the costs of infrastructure development. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.*

basic information
**Case Summary** ■Challenges - To improve the overall productivity of the factory, it was necessary to build a network that allows for real-time data acquisition directly from the equipment, regarding operational status and failure conditions, which could only be confirmed directly at the processing site. - Considering the layout changes for over 1,500 machines, wired connections were to be avoided as much as possible, necessitating stable data acquisition via wireless LAN. ■Implementation Results - The need for only minimal LAN wiring and the near elimination of wireless channel design considerations, which are typically required for standard access points, significantly reduced the infrastructure construction costs. - The five-year warranty on Silex products eliminated the need to consider network maintenance costs, which was an additional benefit. ■Products Implemented - Mesh Network System BR-400AN: 15 units - Wireless Bridge BR-300AN: 373 units *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.*
