Through the integration of cutting-edge communication and control technologies, the novel solution provides a complex and efficient method for remotely controlling Horizontal Sonic Drill Machines in mining operations, improving flexibility and accessibility. With an STM32 Board, LoRa RF Module, Actuator, RTC Module, SD Card Module, Indicator, and Power Supply, the LPRTCD_HSDMote serves as a remote control device. The STM32 Board coordinates the functionality of the gadget as its central processing unit. For remote operation within a given range, the LoRa RF Module creates a long-range, low-power communication link. The RTC Module maintains precise timekeeping, while the Actuator manages the Horizontal Sonic Drill Machine's on and off operations. Logging and data storage are two uses for the SD Card Module.
The Power Supply guarantees consistent and dependable functioning, while the Indicator offers visual input on the device's state. The LPRRCD_HSDMote, on the other hand, uses a comparable STM32 Board and LoRa RF Module but adds NuttyFiWiFi, a Touch HMI Display, a Piezo Buzzer, and a Power Supply. An internet connection is made possible via the NuttyFiWifi module, which expands connectivity options. The Horizontal Sonic Drill Machine may be remotely controlled by users thanks to the Touch HMI Display, which functions as an interactive interface. By providing auditory feedback or notifications, the Piezo Buzzer improves customer satisfaction. The LPRRCD_HSDMote's continuous operation is guaranteed by the power supply.
The LPRTCD_HSDMote and LPRRCD_HSDMote communicate using LoRa technology to provide remote control within a designated range, which is how the innovation functions altogether. Furthermore, authorized workers can operate the Horizontal Sonic Drill Machine via a customized online dashboard by connecting the LPRRCD_HSDMote to the internet using NuttyFiWifi. By integrating cloud technologies, this system becomes even more accessible, allowing for remote control and monitoring from any location with an internet connection.
