KTB-PE215 Industrial Panel PC: A Case Study of Enabling Efficient Upgrade of Automotive Parts Production Lines

Outdated production line control terminals

The original production lines adopted traditional button-type control cabinets, which were cumbersome to operate and slow to respond. Adjusting process parameters during model changeovers took more than 30 minutes, impacting production efficiency.

Poor environmental adaptability

The workshop had oil contamination, dust, and equipment vibration. Ordinary electronic devices were prone to malfunctions such as touch failure and loose interfaces, resulting in an average monthly downtime of over 8 hours due to faults.

Insufficient data visualization

Real-time collection of equipment operation data was not possible, and equipment abnormalities had to be detected through manual inspections, with an average fault response time of over 1 hour.

Efficiency Improvement: The time to adjust process parameters during model changeovers has been reduced to within 5 minutes, leading to a significant boost in production line changeover efficiency.

Enhanced Stability: Leveraging the KTB-PE215’s IP65 dust/water resistance and 1.5G vibration resistance, the monthly downtime of terminal equipment due to faults has dropped to less than 0.5 hours, improving equipment availability.

Optimized Management: The real-time data collection and fault early warning functions have cut the response time for equipment abnormalities to within 10 minutes, increasing the overall yield rate of the production line.

Cost Reduction: The maintenance frequency of terminal equipment has decreased by 70%, with an estimated annual savings of over 50,000 RMB in operation and maintenance costs.
