A mold monitoring module for industrial manufacturing management cloud platform

Mold monitoring in the context of intelligent manufacturing is a key issue in large-scale processing workshops. In response to the confusion and easy loss of mold management during the production process in the factory environment, this paper proposes a mold monitoring and positioning method based on reed sensors and mobile communication positioning technology. By monitoring the state of mold's opening or closing, along with mobile station positioning methods of 4G, the number of times and position of the mold can be monitored in real time on the intelligent mold management system. Further, we present a common framework applied in edge intelligence and fog computing as well as the structure of cloud platform in which the real-time status of the mold is remotely monitored. The possibility of extending the proposed framework to a real industrial plant is discussed at the end.
