This new method improves operating safety and efficiency in industrial settings in a smooth and efficient manner. It provides operators with the resources they need for real-time monitoring, analysis, and reaction to crucial temperature swings by utilizing cloud-based data analysis and Internet of Things technology. This strategy maximizes output while reducing hazards. The central processing unit of the device, responsible for overseeing its diverse functions, is the TI AM69 Processor Board. The MLX90614 Sensor, which is in charge of continuously monitoring the fluid dispenser system's temperature, is essential to its operation. This sensor is essential for identifying any possible overheating concerns because industrial environments require accurate temperature management.
When the MLX90614 Sensor notices changes in temperature, it uses its built-in GSM modem to send the data in real time to a dedicated cloud server for quick analysis and action. The incoming temperature data is processed by a specified algorithm on the cloud server, which looks for patterns, trends, and anomalies that could be signs of an impending overheat. Prompt identification of deviations from standard operating conditions is made possible by this real-time analysis. Through a number of channels, including a TFT display built into the IoTATD_FDMote that gives on-site staff real-time feedback and alarms, operators can access the analyzed data and system status.
Moreover, remote system monitoring is made possible with a customized web dashboard that can be accessed online. Comprehensive insights including temperature trending data, real-time monitoring, and energy consumption analysis are provided by this dashboard. The system uses the Relay Module to take immediate action in the event that the MLX90614 Sensor detects overheating. The relay module is designed to stop the Fluid Dispenser System right away if it senses overheating, preventing any damage or mishaps.
