Advantech PPC-L156T Fanless Panel Computer Proves Perfect for Tire Production
Introduction:
Bridgestone Corporation is a well-know worldwide tire supplier. Bridgestone Taiwan, with technological support from Bridgestone Japan, makes products of high reliability and quality. The tire production process needs numerous charged carbon particles. To meet strict environmental protection codes & regulations and increase production efficiency, Bridgestone Taiwan has applied the Advantech high-performance PPC-L156T with fanless Intel® Pentium® M 1.1 GHz processor and chassis that eliminates the problem of carbon dust being drawn into the chassis by cooling fans.
Solution:
The fanless PPC-L156T delivers excellent performance through Intel® Celeron® M 800 MHz or Pentium® M 1.1 GHz processors. The PPC-156T is designed to make changing the hard drive a quick and easy process. This is why Bridgestone Taiwan selected the Advantech PPC-L156T for the tire production line data transmission interface. The PPC-156T helps make tire production more efficient and cost effective.
System:
The PPC-L156T collects data from tire forming machines through the PLC connected by COM2-RS422; data is transmitted back to the Oracle database over the Ethernet; operators in the production line use bar code readers to input production data for processing on the central database.
Benefits:
u Industrial computing performance: High system stability and good connectivity for easy integration with backend databases.
u Fanless design: Eliminates the problem of damaging carbon dust drawn into the chassis by cooling fans.
u Easy maintenance: The PPC-L156T has a hard drive hood that makes it easy to replace hard drives.
u Flexible assembly options: The PPC-L156T has flexible and diverse assembly options to enable integration with production machinery.
