In this study, the measured data of the outer diameter, inner diameter, and pin hole diameter of the hole saw caps and the environmental inspection data of the manufacturing process were combined to develop a database collection system. As the operator inputs the measured outer diameter of hole saw caps, inner circle diameter, and pin–hole diameter, the production history can be traced. We used Microsoft Visual C# to design the graphical user interface to connect to the equipment site through the Modbus/TCP gateway in the same network domain. When the system operation process is completed, we can fill in the measured outer diameter, inner diameter, and pin hole diameter of the hole saw caps on the corresponding work order form. The operation process is planned in accordance with the production lines in the factory area, and the equipment operation information is transmitted through Zigbee wireless communication. In temperature and humidity sensing and power monitoring during the transport of hole saw caps, the industry standard RS-485 wired transmission is used to capture the sensing information and is connected to the Modbus/TCP gateway via a Wi-Fi network or Ethernet to send data to the computer and record the operation data on the specified data sheet at any time. It is easy to compare the measured data of hole saw caps and analyze the influence of various factors on the processing of hole saw caps.
