In the era of Industry 4.0, where cyber-physical systems (CPS) redefine manufacturing paradigms, the Smart Connected Line stands as a pivotal industrial IoT (IIoT) infrastructure solution. This advanced system integrates disparate production equipment into a cohesive network using CoAP, Zigbee, and Wi-SUN protocols, enabling seamless machine-to-machine communication that eliminates data silos in smart factories . By facilitating real-time data transmission across the production ecosystem, it transforms raw operational data into actionable insights for predictive maintenance and process optimization.

The Smart Connected Line supports integration with up to 10 CNC units (expandable to 20 via modular upgrades) using industry-leading protocols like Modbus, OPC UA, and Ethernet/IP. This eliminates data silos between different equipment types—from mini row tool CNC lathes to 5-axis turning-milling centers—and reduces unplanned downtime by 15-20%. A user-friendly HMI (Human-Machine Interface) allows operators to manage all connected devices from a single console, simplifying workflow setup and parameter adjustments.
Equipped with a built-in IIoT gateway, the system tracks key production metrics in real time, including Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE), workpiece pass rate, and energy consumption. Users can access customizable dashboards and generate detailed reports (daily/weekly production logs, maintenance alerts) via a web-based platform—compatible with both desktop and mobile devices. Historical data storage (up to 2 years) enables trend analysis, helping identify bottlenecks (e.g., idle equipment, inconsistent processing) and optimize process parameters for stable quality.
Designed for dynamic manufacturing needs, the Smart Connected Line accommodates workpiece sizes ranging from 5mm to 500mm and supports quick changeovers for different product types. Its modular conveyor system (adjustable speed: 0.5-3 m/min) can be customized to linear, U-shaped, or circular layouts, fitting diverse factory spaces. Additionally, it integrates with Xindai’s industrial robots (e.g., truss manipulators) for automated loading/unloading, further minimizing manual intervention and human error (defect rate reduction to <0.5%).
Safety is prioritized in the Smart Connected Line, which meets ISO 13849-1 PLd (Performance Level d) and IEC 61508 SIL 2 standards. Key safety features include emergency stop buttons on each connected device, light curtains for access control, and automatic shutdown triggers for abnormal conditions (e.g., data transmission failure, equipment overload). This ensures operator safety while minimizing production disruptions.
The Smart Connected Line serves multiple high-precision manufacturing industries:
Automotive Component Manufacturing: Integrates with dual-spindle CNC lathes to produce engine parts (crankshafts, camshafts) and transmission components, supporting batch sizes of 10,000+ units/month with consistent quality.
Precision Hardware Production: Optimizes manufacturing of bolts, nuts, and fittings using Xindai’s servo turret CNC lathes, reducing labor costs by 40% and ensuring compliance with DIN/ANSI standards.
Electronics Part Fabrication: Connects with vertical machining centers to produce small components (connector pins, sensor housings), leveraging real-time data to meet tight tolerances of ±0.01mm.
Medical Device Manufacturing: Complies with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 for data integrity, making it suitable for surgical instruments and implant components that require full traceability.
Q: Can the Smart Connected Line integrate with third-party CNC equipment?
A: Yes. It is compatible with leading brands (Fanuc, Siemens, Haas) that support standard protocols. Xindai’s technical team provides custom integration for non-standard devices, with a typical setup time of 1-2 weeks.
Q: How does the system reduce energy consumption?
A: Its analytics module identifies energy-intensive equipment and idle periods. It automatically adjusts power usage (e.g., low-power mode for idle machines) and optimizes scheduling to avoid peak hours, cutting overall energy use by 10-12%.
Q: Is remote monitoring available?
A: Absolutely. Authorized users can access real-time metrics, dashboards, and alerts via the web platform from any location. Remote troubleshooting is supported, with Xindai’s team able to resolve issues remotely (with user permission) to minimize downtime.
