Industry 4.0 Software Solution BTSR PC-Link

Enhance productivity through digital solutions

BTSR is one of our long-standing clients, with whom we have built an exceptionally fruitful collaboration. This is a company deeply committed to innovation, led by a management team with a clear vision and remarkable long-term outlook. BTSR specializes in producing yarn monitoring systems installed in textile industry production plants. These plants are often vast environments, filled with numerous machines handling kilometers upon kilometers of threads in various materials, colors, and textures. To manage such a vast array of variables, BTSR offers a comprehensive range of solutions, including the installation of dedicated sensors at strategic points along the production line. These sensors can detect even the most minute deviations from set parameters, providing real-time insights into the health of the machines and the entire plant. Over the years, Weblink has collaborated with BTSR to implement various technological solutions in this domain. Among these, PC-Link stands out as a flagship achievement, both for our contribution and for its strategic and functional significance within BTSR’s service offerings.

PC-Link is a web-based platform designed to collect data from sensors and display it in a control dashboard tailored for the company personnel tasked with this critical role. The process involves a web server communicating with sensors via specific protocols (TCP/UDP or RS485), saving the data in a relational database to enable not only analysis but also forecasting, future predictions about production capacity. This system operates across every type of machine, providing a comprehensive overview of the entire plant. It allows for precise interventions to address issues or improve efficiency. Moreover, the software solution we developed also enables adjustments to parameters, allowing for real-time corrections and settings that have an immediate impact on production activities. Through this partnership, we’ve helped BTSR continue to lead the way in innovation, delivering technology that supports their vision for efficiency and excellence in the textile industry.
