Shenzhen Beilai Technology’s IOy series of distributed I/O modules are widely used in Industrial IoT (IIoT) for real-time data acquisition, remote monitoring, and intelligent control. Below are detailed case studies demonstrating their applications across different industries.
IOy-1608: 16 digital inputs (DI) + 8 digital outputs (DO)
IOy-3216: 32 analog inputs (AI, 16-bit resolution)
ARMxy-200 Gateway: Protocol conversion (Modbus RTU → MQTT)
Cloud Platform: AWS IoT Core for data visualization
Equipment Monitoring:
Digital Inputs (DI): Detect machine status (ON/OFF, alarms, emergency stops).
Analog Inputs (AI): Monitor motor vibration (accelerometer data), temperature (PT100 sensors), and pressure (4-20mA transmitters).
Edge Processing:
The ARMxy-200 gateway aggregates data and performs FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) analysis to detect abnormal vibrations.
If vibration exceeds a threshold (e.g., 0.5g), the system triggers an alert for preventive maintenance.
Cloud Integration:
Data is transmitted via MQTT to AWS IoT, where dashboards display real-time OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness).
✔ 30% reduction in unplanned downtime due to early fault detection.
✔ 15% improvement in production efficiency through real-time machine monitoring.
IOy-0804T: 8-channel RTD input (for temperature monitoring)
IOy-4400: 4-channel analog output (AO, ±10V / 4-20mA)
ARMxy-300 Edge Controller: Runs Python-based energy optimization algorithms
Temperature Monitoring:
RTD sensors measure reactor temperatures (-200°C to +800°C) with ±0.1% accuracy.
Closed-Loop Control:
The ARMxy-300 analyzes temperature trends and adjusts steam valve positions (via 4-20mA AO signals) to optimize energy usage.
Data Logging & Reporting:
Energy consumption data is stored in an SQLite database and periodically uploaded to Siemens MindSphere for compliance reporting (ISO 50001).
✔ 20% reduction in steam consumption through intelligent PID control.
✔ Automated energy reports for regulatory compliance.
IOy-3216: 32 AI channels (battery voltage & current monitoring)
IOy-1608: 16 DI channels (charging dock status, collision sensors)
ARMxy-100 (4G Gateway): Real-time telemetry transmission
Battery Management:
Analog inputs measure battery voltage (0-48V) and current draw (0-100A).
If battery health degrades (e.g., voltage drop >10%), the system schedules automatic charging.
Collision Avoidance:
Digital inputs detect proximity sensor signals to prevent AGV collisions.
Cloud-Based Fleet Management:
Data is sent via 4G to a central dispatching system (REST API integration).
AI-based route optimization reduces idle time.
✔ 99.5% AGV uptime due to proactive battery management.
✔ 15% faster logistics operations with optimized path planning.
IOy-3216: pH, turbidity, and chlorine level monitoring (4-20mA sensors)
IOy-4400: Control dosing pumps (4-20mA output)
ARMxy-200: Modbus TCP to OPC UA conversion
Real-Time Water Quality Monitoring:
Analog inputs measure pH (0-14), turbidity (0-1000 NTU), and chlorine (0-5 ppm).
Automated Chemical Dosing:
If chlorine levels drop below 1 ppm, the system activates dosing pumps via analog outputs.
SCADA Integration:
Data is converted to OPC UA and fed into Siemens WinCC for centralized control.
✔ Consistent water quality compliance with EPA standards.
✔ 30% reduction in chemical waste due to precise dosing control.
✅ High Precision: 16-bit ADC for accurate sensor readings.
✅ Rugged Design: IP65/IP67 protection for harsh environments.
✅ Multi-Protocol Support: Modbus, PROFINET, EtherCAT, OPC UA.
✅ Edge Computing Capability: ARMxy gateways enable local data processing.
Beilai Technology IOy modules enable seamless IIoT deployments by bridging legacy industrial devices with modern cloud platforms. Their flexibility, reliability, and precision make them ideal for smart factories, energy management, AGV fleets, and water treatment systems.
