OCR recognition based on machine vision is commonly used in nameplate recognition, bar code recognition, number plate recognition and other related fields in industrial production lines. Which is used for quickly and effectively carrying out digital processing on characters formed in the industrial production process. Through the m2m modem, it carries a large amount of data to be transmitted in the production workshop. The pictures with characters are uploaded to the cloud computing platform for OCR recognition and detection. At the same time, the cloud computing capability of edge computing can effectively reduce OCR recognition time, improve recognition accuracy and reduce the cost of factory deployment.

• Remote Field-AR Operation and Maintenance Assistance

The operator wears AR glasses and transmits the field operation to the remote experts in real time through the m2m modem. Experts from different places watch live videos through PC, mobile phone and other platforms and give voice guidance. Operators operate and communicate by receiving voice and annotation guidance from experts in different places.Technical experts grasp every detail as if they were on the spot. And can guide a field photographer to carry out troubleshooting through real-time voice or text messages, thereby not only saving the maintenance cost. It also realizes the skill replication of experts and solves the problem of shortage of technical experts.

• Remote Field-VR Complex Assembly

By building a virtual VR working environment close to reality, the system enables employees to be familiar with and master new working skills. There will be a prompt tutorial throughout the process, "hand-in-hand" to teach employees the technical essentials, pay attention to details and so on. Employees need to actually participate in the training process of operation skills, wear VR glasses, and practice freely with both hands. VR glasses will give comprehensive tips, introductions, guidance and judgments through m2m modems in close combination with actual equipment and scenes.

• Remote Control-AGV Control

AGV is widely used in electronics, machinery, cigarette, textile, paper and other manufacturing industries. In the production process of these industries,It has higher requirements for AG's mobile precision control, group control cooperation and intelligent scheduling. With the low latency and high reliability of m2m modems, mobile control will be more accurate and data return will be smoother. AGV will be able to connect with massive intelligent devices of the Internet of Things to help flexible manufacturing, intelligent production and intelligent management. To meet the application needs of intelligent handling, warehousing and automated operation in manufacturing, logistics, inspection and other fields.

Realize the remote control of the robot in the cloud for 7, 7 and 24 hours. Cooperate with that remote control platform of the m2m modem robot. Engineers and technicians can remotely realize PLC program upgrading, data collection and analysis, fault diagnosis and other functions. It enables engineers and technicians to remotely serve industrial robots all over the country in the production base.Reduce costs and increase efficiency for production, operation and maintenance of equipment manufacturing enterprises.

• Remote Control-In-Plant Line Equipment Control

In order to achieve the goal of flexible deployment of production line control components in the factory. The intelligent factory PLC (including site PLC and production line PLC) is softwareized and deployed to the cloud together with MES, SCADA, robot cooperative scheduling and other software. At the same time, m2m modems are installed on the corresponding parts of the automatic mechanical equipment. The wireless access of modules, conveyor belts, valve robots and other components is realized by using the characteristics of low delay and high reliability.
