Good morning all,
I got assigned a cool project where I take a picture of every part ran off a machine and correlate each picture to the basket # it's placed in. Each basket will have roughly 150 parts, so all these images will be tied to that one #.
The end result? Basically, my manager wants to access our network drive, and have multiple folders named by the basket #, date, time, etc. and inside each folder have all those pictures.
The catch? Personally, I would love for all this to be done automatically somehow, but not sure which software would be capable of doing this? I'm assuming this is an IoT type of project, so seems very interesting and will be my first. I believe my company already uses Kepware to collect OEE data, but not sure if this software can accomplish what I need automatically? I don't want to keep grabbing the SD card from the camera daily, then figuring out what basket #s go with each picture, then manually entering all this into a folder on our network.
So far, I plan to use A.B PLC (machine using Micrologix, so will need to update to compact logix unless there is any easy way to do this with Micro-logix), AB or Cmore HMI, and Keyence / Cognex / IFM camera with EIP. Mainly need help figuring out the best IoT software also, so any recommendations welcome. Thanks!
