Development of an automatic data collection system

Data acquisition (DAQ) refers to the automatic collection of non electrical or electrical signals from analog and digital units under test, such as sensors and other devices, and sending them to the upper computer for analysis and processing. A data acquisition system is a flexible and user-defined measurement system that combines measurement software and hardware products based on computers or other specialized testing platforms.

The characteristics of developing an automatic data collection system

◆ Stability: A mature technical system ensures stable software operation;
◆ Smooth: Real time data collection at the microsecond level, without lagging in massive data analysis;
◆ High integration: The system is highly integrated, achieving efficient management of personnel, equipment, and business across regions, businesses, and platforms;
◆ Easy to operate and maintain: For increasingly complex and precise production processes and processes, simplify the operation process, save training and maintenance costs.

The functions of developing an automatic data collection system

◆ User management: Manage and maintain user basic information (add, delete, modify, check);

◆ Permission management: Manage the data permissions and functional operation modules of users in various functional modules, so that the user can perform operations within their permission range;

◆ Data collection and control: Create collection tasks, manage collection data uniformly, calculate and process according to process requirements, logical requirements or algorithms to achieve automatic output control;

◆ Data storage: Store user data and collected data, such as process parameters, alarm information, operation logs, program logs, etc., in a database according to rules.

The project service process for developing an automatic data collection system

The application industry of developing automatic data collection systems

The data collection system has been applied in various industries, especially in manufacturing, logistics sorting industry, instrument and equipment field, etc. It has also been widely applied in mineral mining and processing, chemical industry, food and beverage processing and manufacturing, tobacco logistics, drug production, mechanical equipment production, etc.

With the continuous upgrading of automation, informatization, and intelligence in the production and manufacturing industry, the cost of industrial workers is gradually increasing, and data collection systems have gradually become standard equipment. The continuous development and maturity of technology services that specifically serve production and manufacturing are also promoting the development of upper computer software and manufacturing intelligence.

The project development cycle for the development of an automatic data collection system

The cycle varies depending on the needs of the project, ranging from half a month to two months in the short term and 3-6 months in the long term.

Customers generally request that the shorter the construction period, the better, but this is not absolute. Generally speaking, if a software developer team is mature and has sufficient manpower, their development cycle is relatively short. However, software development has its own specific processes and rules. If the requirements are high and time is not sufficient, it is likely to lead to issues with software system quality. According to the functional and technical requirements of the project, you can consult with your customer service to obtain the specific project development cycle.
