Monitor 3 key aspects of warehouse automation with Paessler PRTG
Summary
Even though they might be interconnected (think of a warehouse management system running on the IT network, for example), each area operates separately. They are an integral part of automation in a warehouse, such as automatic picking actions or movement of conveyor belts. Controllers like the S7 use their own proprietary protocol to communicate and are thus often integrated with gateways (although nowadays, its possible to buy an OPC UA add-on for the PLC). And – just as in manufacturing – monitoring the condition of the machines is key to ensuring effective maintenance keeps them running without unnecessary downtime. This way, you can quickly see the health of your IT network and the components that are crucial to automation processes in one place, as well as set up thresholds to trigger alerts and notifications when something fails.
