Real-Time Manufacturing Intelligence
Manufacturing Intelligence in SFP
Unlock Real-Time Manufacturing Intelligence
Transform your factory’s performance with comprehensive, real-time insights. Smart Factory Planning’s Edge box (I IoT device) captures production data across machines and systems, giving you the clarity you need to understand and improve operations instantly.
This approach—integrating data from multiple sources to drive smarter decisions—is the heart of Manufacturing Intelligence
How It Works: Capture → Understand → Act
1. Capture Data
Collect real-time production metrics using the Edge box (I IoT device) connected to legacy and modern machinery. It supports Ethernet, RS‑485, Wi‑Fi, and optional 2G to 5G, with local web UI and secure MQTT connectivity.
2. Understand Performance
Leverage intuitive dashboards to track key KPIs like OEE, availability, performance, and quality. Visualize historical trends, identify stop causes, and pinpoint bottlenecks with precision.
3. Act Decisively
Translate insights into action. From real-time alerts and root-cause visualization to remote configuration updates via the Edge box (I IoT device), your team can respond faster, reduce waste, and enhance uptime.
This iterative loop—capture, analyze, act—drives continuous improvement.
No Internet? No Problem.
Remote factories often suffer from unstable internet connections — in this case, network interruptions were frequent and unpredictable.
With SFP Edge Box, all production signals are stored locally for up to 30 days and automatically synchronized once the connection is restored.
No lost data, no downtime in reporting, and continuous insight into your operations.
SFP Edge Box Watchdog System
Ensuring continuous, autonomous operation — even under failure conditions.
The SFP Edge Box includes an advanced hardware and software watchdog system that continuously monitors its internal processes, data acquisition routines, and communication modules.
If the device detects any abnormal behavior — such as frozen processes, loss of data capture, or unstable communication — the watchdog automatically resets only the affected module or, when necessary, safely reboots the system to restore normal operation without losing data.
🔸 Key Features:
- Dual-layer watchdog:
Combination of hardware timer and software supervision for maximum fault recovery reliability. - Self-recovery mechanism:
Automatically restarts stalled processes (MQTT, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, Modbus, etc.) while maintaining data integrity. - Fail-safe data handling:
All production signals are cached locally in non-volatile memory; no data is lost during watchdog recovery. - Remote health monitoring:
Device heartbeat signals are transmitted to the SFP cloud platform, allowing supervisors to detect and trace resets or anomalies remotely. - Smart diagnostic logging:
Each watchdog event is timestamped and stored, helping identify the root cause of any communication or process interruption.
