With the continuous development of Internet of Things technology, industrial routers are increasingly widely used in the field of intelligent manufacturing. These devices not only improve production efficiency and reduce costs, but also significantly enhance the safety and reliability of the system. Here are some specific innovative application cases that show the unique value of industrial routers in intelligent manufacturing.

Intelligent control system for street lamp poles in smart cities
In the construction of smart cities, industrial routers play a crucial role. For example, a municipal government plans to upgrade the intelligence of more than 100,000 street lamps in the city. By installing IoT devices such as intelligent control terminals, environmental sensors, and cameras on each streetlight pole, the streetlights can automatically adjust their brightness based on weather and traffic conditions, achieving energy conservation and efficiency. Real-time upload of environmental monitoring data to help urban environmental protection; High-definition cameras are used for traffic monitoring and public security prevention and control, improving urban management level.

The project selected the SR700 industrial router as the network access device. Each streetlight pole is equipped with an SR700, which connects to various smart terminals through Ethernet ports and then transmits data back to the municipal management platform through the 4G LTE network. SR700 is designed with a fully industrialized approach, which can adapt to harsh outdoor environments and ensure long-term stable operation of the equipment. Its dual SIM card redundancy backup function ensures that the network is never disconnected, and its rich VPN features ensure the secure transmission of data. The project was completed with high quality, giving the city street lamp monitoring system new intellectual vitality.

Remote diagnosis and predictive maintenance services for CNC machine tools
In machine tool manufacturing enterprises, industrial routers also play an important role. An enterprise plans to provide remote diagnosis and predictive operation and maintenance services for all in-service CNC machine tools. By adding a remote operation and maintenance module to the machine tool control system, various parameters are collected in real time and transmitted to the cloud platform for big data analysis, enabling early detection of equipment failure risks and timely elimination of hidden dangers.

However, due to the scattered distribution of CNC machine tools in the factory workshops of customers across the country, the network environment is complex, and remote communication and data clouding face great challenges. The SR700 industrial router has become the key to solving this problem. Each machine tool is equipped with an SR700, which uses 4G LTE wireless network to achieve Internet access nearby. The SR700 has a built-in "cloud assistant" function that supports pushing data directly to mainstream industrial Internet platforms such as Alibaba Cloud and Tencent Cloud, enabling devices to go online without requiring complex server-side configurations.

Through SR700, this machine tool enterprise has achieved digital management of the entire product life cycle. Data such as the health status and operating parameters of machine tools are continuously collected to the cloud platform, and predictive maintenance plans are formed through big data analysis. Then, the plans are implemented through SR700 feedback, which upgrades the service model from "passive repair" to "active prevention", thereby greatly improving service efficiency and reducing service costs.

Front-end communication gateway in intelligent security system
In modern intelligent security systems, industrial routers also play a key role. For example, a smart security monitoring project along a highway has achieved real-time image data transmission by installing a large number of high-definition cameras and wireless sensors. The SR800-D router, serving as the front-end communication gateway, supports 5G+4G dual network backup, ensuring high reliability of data transmission. The built-in security policies such as firewall and access control list effectively prevent malicious attacks and unauthorized access by hackers.

The monitoring sub-center receives high-definition video images transmitted from various sources, supports multi-channel coexistence display, and intelligently identifies key information such as suspicious targets and license plates. Once any abnormal situation is found, the on-site law enforcement forces can be immediately dispatched. At the same time, all video data are safely stored and backed up for forensic use. This application not only improves the monitoring capability of the security system, but also greatly enhances the security and reliability of the system.

Industrial routers are playing an increasingly important role in the field of intelligent manufacturing with their technical features such as high reliability, large bandwidth and real-time performance. Whether it is the intelligent control system of street lamp poles in smart cities, the remote diagnosis and predictive operation and maintenance services of CNC machine tools, or the front-end communication gateway in smart security systems, industrial routers have demonstrated their unique value and charm. With the continuous development of technologies such as the Internet of Things, cloud computing and big data, industrial routers will play a greater role in intelligent manufacturing, and promote the digital transformation and intelligent upgrading of all walks of life.
