Tasks of Powder Process for Connecting World

Abstract

The IoT has a SoS nature that creates additional new value by connecting with the IoT used in other equipment, resulting in a ‘connected world’. In factories handling powders in the connected world, online and in-line monitoring of the condition of powders and equipment, as well as their condition, is essential for quality inspections to check whether products meet shipping standards, or for both minimizing energy consumption and maximizing throughput during the production of products and raw materials, and for systems to analyze big data are essential. However, there are currently a number of problems that stand in the way of bringing measuring equipment online. This paper addresses these issues in order to provide seeds for powder engineering, and also introduces the remote monitoring system that is part of the IoT integration framework HOSOKAWA GEN4 for powder processes.
