The globalization of markets is accompanied with increase of the
distances to customers. Hence, the reduction of costs for service
provision as well as shortening of the down time in case of malfunctions
is of a great importance. Therefore plant and machinery manufacturers
are using the fast and inexpensive on-site diagnostic tools and/or even
more efficient Remote Diagnosis by means of a 3G cellular network to an
increasing extent.
Here, some challenges need to be addressed: first, to have remote
access to the Ethernet network of the crane, a VPN tunnel should be
established. Moreover, to transfer complete data from the machine to the
control room lots of devices should be installed in a limited space,
which requires considerable financial investments at the same time
decreasing the efficiency of the system.
A Crane Manufacturing Company solved all these issues
and in addition lowered the total cost of the remote diagnostics system
by using Korenix JetBox 8150, which collected the data from the crane
through its serial ports and VGA. With the openVPN functionality and 2
LAN ports JetBox 8150 worked as a front-end VPN device while
transferring the data to the Korenix JetNet3705 PoE switch. Meanwhile,
the PoE switch powered the IP cameras on the crane and sent the
collected video streams along with diagnosable data to the crane office.
The rich interface of the JetBox 8150 compact computer,
including two USB2.0 ports, one RS-232 and one RS-232/422/485 ports,
VGA, and high resolution audio makes it possible to remotely monitor
engineering data and control processes on the crane while reducing the
total system costs. Administrators can flexibly and easily manage the
devices and improve the usability of embedded computers in industrial
computing with the dual OS availability. In addition to the web server
services, the rugged, dust-resistant, anti-vibration specifications of
the computer ensure complete control of loading operations and make it
the perfect fit in the industrial network communication environment.
To complete the remote diagnosis of the crane, JetNet
3705 5-port Industrial PoE switch is installed. With an Ethernet port it
collects the data from the JetBox8150 and, using 4 PoE ports, it powers
the IP cameras and simultaneously collects the captured video images to
send all of the stored information to the crane office via an IP modem.
It overcomes the unfavorable conditions on the crane and ensures
network reliability by its IP 31 grade rugged enclosure and -20 to +70oC
wide operating temperature. It also provides a built-in 2KV power surge
protection from over-power and over-voltage occurrences for
successfully delivering reliable power. Implementing the IP camera loss
alarm function of JetNet 3705, system integrators can quickly respond
for preventing sudden port break or power failure, ensuring the reliable
system operation.
Using JetBox 8150 and JetNet 3705, administrators at the
crane management office are able to diagnose the operation of the
machine efficiently and view live video images while reducing the system
cost, which proofs that the overall system provided by Korenix is the
best solution for the machinery remote diagnostic system.

Natural Gas is a new trend of clean energy, and it has become the mainstream power source for public transportation, household uses…etc in major metropolitans throughout the world. Reasons for adapting to Natural Gas from traditional sources of power such as Nuclear Power or Coal Power are for improving the polluted environments caused by or as a result of global warming, air pollution, chemical pollution, safety issues…etc. One of the most common and effective methods of transporting the Natural Gas is going through the underground pipelines because Natural Gas are flammable, explosive and destructive.

South Africa, known throughout the world as a treasure trove of sorts, boasts an abundance of mineral resources, producing and owning a significant proportion of the world's minerals. South Africa's wealth has been built on the country's vast resources - nearly 90% of the platinum metals on Earth. With the severe environment underground, it requires the rugged, dust-resistant, anti-vibration specifications of the JetBox 8100 embedded computer to ensure complete control of loading operations.
