Usecases for Industrial applications
(Click to see details of each usecase)
CNC MACHINES & MACHINE CENTRES
FANUC, HAAS, MITSUBISHI, SIEMENS, HEIDENHAIN …
Data Acquisition, transmission and storage
A central hub acquires data from all types of CNC machines; be it modern controllers or old machines. Machine centres, robots, injection molding, deburring, dosing systems are all connected together.
Logged data is transmitted using edge devices / gateway PC to the cloud server for storage and analysis. Customised rule based algorithms are written to detect and predict abnormal machine condition
Remote monitoring and failure prediction
Spindle load and RPM, Servo motor condition, Battery warning, NC Data (No. of parts produced, Emergency stop, CNC cutting time, running time are recorded.
Machine status, OEE, Availability, Performance, Quality, breakdown time, equipment condition are monitored on dashboards and alarm notification sent by email, SMS
FORGE SHOP
Forge Press, Reheating furnace, Induction furnace, Quenching system…
Data Acquisition, transmission and storage
Data is acquired form the PLC or controller or electrical cabinet of the press, induction furnaces, reheating furnaces. Piezoelectric acceleration sensors and temperature sensors are installed to acquire equipment vibration signals
IIOT MONITOR logs and trasnmits the data to the cloud server for storage and analysis. Customised rule based algorithms are written to detect and predict abnormal machine condition
Remote monitoring and failure prediction
Monitor the condition of the countershaft's bearings, main motor, and bearings of the clutch and brake. Monitor plastic deformation of the press table or of protective plates and detect bolster damage
Long-term trends in the bearing's condition can be monitored. These indicate deterioration of the bearing caused by gradual wear of the bearing's surfaces (pitting). Service interventions can be planned based on the trends. Thus, the interruption of the production schedule is reduced.
OVERHEAD CRANES
Wireless connectivity of multiple cranes
Data Acquisition, transmission and storage
The Edge device is installed on the crane in the electrical cabinet. Data is acquired form the PLC and electrical cabinet of the crane. Additional sensors like vibration and temperature sensors can be installed for bearing vibration monitoring.
Edge device transmits the data directly to the cloud server using 4G network or wifi network. Test was done using the vibration and temp sensors in the lab. The frequency and temp data from the sensors was relayed using the 4G telecom network to the cloud server. Frequency output were observed on the web user dashboard
Remote monitoring and failure prediction
Monitor the LT, HT, CT operating times under load and no load conditions. Monitor motor currents, loads, brakes' engagement, bearing vibrations, oil flow
Monitor Crane availability – time of operation, motor load, gearbox oil temp, safety alarms when limit switch is activated; Condition based monitoring – motor current, wheel bearing vibration and temp
Diesel Generator Sets
Remote monitoring of several DG Sets in one dashboard – ELMOT, Cummins, Kirloskar Green
Data Acquisition, transmission and storage
The Edge device is installed in the control cabinet. Data is acquired form the DG Set controller. Additional sensors like oil temperature, level can be installed for theft monitoring
Edge device transmits the data directly to the cloud server using 4G network or wifi network.
Remote monitoring and failure prediction
Monitor phasewise current, voltage, voltage imbalance, load fluctuations, user operating behaviour, fuel level
DG utilisation, running hours, kW overload, Vibration, user beahaviour, service due intimation can be configured
Energy Management
Energy Management for commercial, residential complexes, substations
Fire Hydrant, Sprinker, Fire Detection Systems, Lifts
Remote monitoring of Fire systems and Lifts in Commercial complex, malls, schools, residential buildings
Data Acquisition, transmission and storage
A remote terminal unit (RTU) is installed at the fire pimp station to collect data from the electrical cabinet. pressure switches and position switches are installed in the pipelines and valves at different floors in the building
The RTU trasnmits the data to a local gateway PC. Fire detection signal is taken from the fire panel also. Data is transmitted to the cloud for monitoring and system failure detection
Remote monitoring and failure prediction
24x7 monitoring of the complete system without human intervention is achieved. The system ensures that the hydrant and sprinkler network are always under water pressure.
Signals like pump start stop in case of fire, pressure at each floor, fire detection are monitored.
