Data Collection

The accumulated historical data can be used to better understand the behavior of a device, system, or machine over a long period of time, or to simply monitor them. This makes it possible, for example, to detect defects in devices, systems and machines at an early stage.

Visualization and Monitoring

The data stored in the database can be easily visualized using a browser-based open source solution, such as Grafana, Graphite or others. With this solution, the connection to a modern visualization system is possible even for small projects with limited funds.

Alerts

With the control4log or web4log, e-mail alerts can be set up for each data point. With the control4log device, this is possible for every sensor and actuator value. In the M2M Cloud web4log, alerts can be set up for individual data points, generated queries, and aggregated data points

Maintenance

Maintenance receives warnings and initiates the necessary measures before a device, system, or machine fails. In the event of a failure, an e-mail alert is sent to maintenance and initial intervention in the form of remote monitoring can take place very quickly. This all saves time and money and significantly increases the availability of the connected devices, systems, and machines.

Smart Table

The workbench is becoming smarter, whether in the laboratory, in practice, or elsewhere. With our control4log device, the Cloud web4log, and the Freeware remote2control, suppliers of devices such as…

• Scales
• Analysis devices
• Measuring devices
• Reactors
• Triggers
• Disinfection machines
• Heating and cooling devices
• Centrifuges
• Mixing and shaking devices
• etc.
  
  
  … can carry out remote diagnoses, maintenance, or interference of the devices with software for maintenance from the manufacturer.

Maintenance Planning

System controls for the compressor are connected to the M2M Cloud web4log via Gateway, which tracks the total and service period running time of the system in a 24-hour period and saves it in a database. Based on the saved hourly values ...

... a report is generated that calculates a date for each compressor on which a service must be planned, based on the average running hours per month, quarter and year

... a line graph is created that shows the monthly operating hours for the respective compressors in order to comply with the service contracts

... the technical customer service is informed via e-mail about the planned device servicing before the next service

... the technical customer service is informed via e-mail about the device services to be done

Remote Maintenance and Monitoring

Safety workbenches and their accessories are monitored by the control4log IOs in order to avoid unnecessary and time-consuming infiltration and decontamination in laboratories with increased safety levels that are difficult to access. For this purpose, digital and analog values are monitored and recorded in order to ...

• ...distinguish a possible malfunction from routine maintenance on the technical customer service dashboard
  
  
• ...to alert via e-mail with freely definable texts when limit values or alert situations are reached
  
  
• ...to inform by e-mail with freely definable texts when a service cycle is reached (filter full)
  
  
• ...to record and store historical values in order to be able to prove the functionality of the system.
  
  Additionally, the four USB ports on the control4log are used to ...
  
  
• ...access the microcontroller controllers by means of a USB connection over the internet in order to enable an initial diagnosis

Facility Management 4.0 with IIoT

Monitoring, remote maintenance, and e-mail notifications can be implemented quickly and easily, independent of the system and controller

For a standardized integration of any equipment from other manufacturers, in worst-case scenarios connect an error, readiness, and operation indicator light to a digital input. Configure it with control4log using a USB storage device, and you're done!

For remote maintenance of equipment, we utilize the existing maintenance software. With our remote2control software, you can easily transfer existing software and settings to a virtual local Windows workstation via a USB adapter. This enables cost-effective and user-friendly remote maintenance.

Our solutions support a variety of equipment, including heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, heat pumps, laboratory equipment such as scales, analytical devices and shakers, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), home automation (PLC), and much more.

Don't miss anymore of this important information and optimize the maintenance of your equipment with our reliable monitoring, convenient remote maintenance, and automatic E-Mail notifications. Contact us today!
