The manufacturing industry is currently riding the wave of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, and smart factories are gaining increasing attention against the backdrop of information integration, big data collection, and the development of the Internet of Things (IoT). For a smart factory, precise data acquisition and processing are critical components of its operations. The smart factory system developed by Alps System Integration (Dalian) Co., Ltd. enables enterprises to comprehensively oversee every aspect of production.

In a smart factory, data acquisition serves as the bridge between automation control equipment and the management layer. To ensure accuracy, equipment and instrumentation must communicate seamlessly, facilitating smooth information exchange. The acquisition system employed in smart factories features autonomous and responsive sensor acquisition, which is primarily manifested in three aspects: event-driven acquisition strategy, activity goal-driven acquisition strategy, and equipment health-driven acquisition strategy. A smart factory's data acquisition management system operates based on event information, activity objectives, and changes in equipment status. Only through the integration of hardware and software can a smart factory achieve precise data acquisition and processing.
