Nov. 02, 2023

Industry Background

In response to the increasingly severe energy shortage and climate change crisis, the development of clean energy has become an international consensus. The global energy supply and demand structure has gradually shifted to clean renewable energy sources such as solar energy and wind energy. Photovoltaic power generation, as a typical representative of solar energy utilization, has attracted much attention.

 

Industry Application Requirements

Stimulated by the supply and demand of the huge market, developing new digital and intelligent photovoltaic industry models and improving photovoltaic system efficiency have become the core demands of the industry. Terminal smart equipment that integrates advanced technologies such as information technology, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things has begun to cover multiple scenarios and process stages in the photovoltaic industry, such as AGV/ARM, automated production equipment, intelligent robots, etc.

 

Jawest industrial computing equipment integrates various functions such as visualization applications, intelligent interaction, equipment control, data exchange, remote management, etc. It is an important part of the supporting applications of photovoltaic industry chain equipment.

● Application with AGV/AMR

Affected by the trend of investment and expansion in the industrial chain, there are a large number of process docking and semi-finished product loading and unloading needs in the photovoltaic production process, which has led to the continuous expansion of the application of AGV/AMR in this industry.

 

Jawest's industrial all-in-one panel PC is equipped with a high-performance industrial motherboard and features first-line brand chips such as Intel (Up to 10th generation i3/i5/i7), Rockchip (Up to RK3588), and has powerful intelligent computing capability. As photovoltaic materials such as silicon wafers develop towards larger sizes and thinner sheets, AGV/AMR for photovoltaics has higher requirements for the accuracy and precision of loading and unloading in all aspects of production. The powerful computing capability of Jawest industrial all-in-one panel PC can support the real-time processing, calculation, control, and collaboration of various sensor data during AGV/AMR operation, achieve refined image recognition, navigation positioning, and motion control, and improve AGV/AMR Working accuracy.

 

In view of the features of AGV/AMR's continuous movement, the Jawest industrial all-in-one panel PC also integrates 3G/4G (5G module for optional), WiFi, Bluetooth, and other wireless communication technologies to stably cover the AGV/AMR's movement path and improve the Flexibility, transfer accuracy, and efficiency during the production and transfer of the photovoltaic industry.

 

● Supporting application with photovoltaic automated production equipment

Jawest has in-depth cooperation with a leading company in the photovoltaic industry chain to provide customers with high-quality industrial displays in the manufacturing process.

 

Customers' thermal processes such as photovoltaic semiconductor production, cell production, and coating usually require heat treatment and cooling processes, which may cause environmental hazards such as high temperature, steam, and dust. Jawest's industrial displays with flat front panel meet IP65 dustproof and waterproof standards, supports wide temperature (-10℃~60℃) and wide voltage (DC 12V-36V) operation, and offer reliable anti-vibration, anti-electromagnetic interference, and anti-static performance. Comprehensively ensure the stable operation of equipment in complex industrial environments.

 

Jawest 2nd-gen industrial monitor is equipped with a 7"-23.8" optional high-specification industrial control LCD screen. Its 3mm ultra-thin slim front panel design can closely fit the photovoltaic automation production cabinet, making it beautiful and stable.

 

● Inspection Robot in Photovoltaic Industry

In order to ensure the safe and stable operation of the photovoltaic power generation system, daily inspection and maintenance of photovoltaic circuit boards is required. Since photovoltaic panels are usually installed in harsh native landforms such as grasslands, mountains, and Gobi, and are accompanied by challenging factors such as complex road conditions, rain, snow, and dust, and changes in high and low temperatures, in such environments, photovoltaic inspection robots are needed to make up for the shortcomings of manual inspections.

 

The photovoltaic inspection robot is an intelligent mechanical device centered on the application of complex algorithms such as edge computing, artificial intelligence, and machine vision, relying on the support of powerful computing cores. Based on its research and development capabilities, Jawest has developed an industrial panel computer with excellent performance and multiple configurations supported by ARM/X86 architecture, providing real-time computing, remote control, cloud-edge collaboration, and other hardware foundations for robots.

 

Jawest industrial panel PCs are also equipped with rich I/O interfaces, supporting the expansion of functional modules such as cameras, infrared thermal imagers, temperature, and humidity sensors, etc., and can collect and analyze photovoltaic equipment appearance, environment, and other data in real-time through remote control. Its sophisticated industrial protection design is suitable for harsh environments such as strong vibration, high dust, and high & low temperatures, ensuring the robot's 24/7 uninterrupted inspection operations, and facilitating all-weather, all-round, fully autonomous intelligent inspection and monitoring.

 

Jawest Application Empowerment

At present, Jawest industrial computing products have been widely used in all production links of the photovoltaic industry chain.

 

Against the background of the development of clean and low-carbon energy, the photovoltaic industry has broad prospects. In the future, Jawest will continue to pay attention to technological innovation and policy guidance in all aspects of the photovoltaic industry chain. Through continuous research and development, product iteration, and application insights, we will continue to develop more products that apply to a wider range of photovoltaic industry chain scenarios and promote the intelligence, automation, and digitalization development of the photovoltaic industry.
