Specification

Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to ai-driven health monitoring and speed control system with handheld display for tractor-mounted straw blowers using wifi and bluetooth technology.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This development may be defined as the complex management system and control of straw blowers, which is attachable to the tractor, in factors like health as well as speed, incorporating wireless communication technologies for enhanced performance. The equipment is operated with a portable device that connects to the equipment via Bluetooth and WiFi, allowing users to control the system from offsite. The device allows to send operational parameters including speed, temperature, current usage etc. that is gathered by the devices to our cloud server for processing and machine learning and AI model based monitoring. It improves the maintenance planning, efficiency and changes the way recommendations are provided. An interactive web interface, built into the portable device, allows visualization of the data and makes it possible for authorized users to take action based on the data obtained in order to improve the management.
This invention responds to the great concern over the need for real time monitoring and control of tractor mounted straw blowers, which are crucial for agricultural activities, but are prone to performance inefficiencies, breakdowns and high cost of maintenance associated with absence of automatic monitoring systems. Standard operating procedures involve the manual checking and controlling resulting into delays in troubleshooting, reduced efficiency and prolonged machine idleness. The invention reduces such challenges by providing active status information, assessment of future failure hazards and possibility of operating the equipment from a distance allowing reliable, cost-effective, and safer operation for appliances and staff.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts, in a simplified format, that are further described in the detailed description of the invention.
This summary is neither intended to identify key or essential inventive concepts of the invention and nor is it intended for determining the scope of the invention.
To further clarify advantages and features of the present invention, a more particular description of the invention will be rendered by reference to specific embodiments thereof, which is illustrated in the appended drawings. It is appreciated that these drawings depict only typical embodiments of the invention and are therefore not to be considered limiting of its scope. The invention will be described and explained with additional specificity and detail with the accompanying drawings.
By implementing the notion of modern wireless connectivity and intelligent surveillance, it becomes achievable to manage and collect information from tractor-mounted straw shredders and deploy straw blowers. The system is composed of two main structural parts: the embedded control and telemetry node onto the machine and the portable monitoring and control device. Such control node is provided with sensors designed for dynamic measurement of speed, temperature, and current load of relevant equipment. These sensors measure and collect relevant information during the operation of the equipment. This data is transmitted by the node through wireless technologies to the handheld device and then to a purpose-built cloud service for further processing. Operators operate using the handheld device that provides users with data representation and control. The control node is established with the aid of Bluetooth or WiFi technology allowing the operator to control the system remotely and modify parameters as need be. It is also able to send the obtained information to a web cloud server. Using ML algorithms, the second cloud server interprets the data and analyses the usage features of the equipment as well as its possible failures. Such predictions are shown to the Handheld device and web dashboard so that the user or any authorized person would be able to respond in advance to these issues.

By implementing the notion of modern wireless connectivity and intelligent surveillance, it becomes achievable to manage and collect information from tractor-mounted straw shredders and deploy straw blowers. The system is composed of two main structural parts: the embedded control and telemetry node onto the machine and the portable monitoring and control device. Such control node is provided with sensors designed for dynamic measurement of speed, temperature, and current load of relevant equipment. These sensors measure and collect relevant information during the operation of the equipment. This data is transmitted by the node through wireless technologies to the handheld device and then to a purpose-built cloud service for further processing.

Such predictions are shown to the Handheld device and web dashboard so that the user or any authorized person would be able to respond in advance to these issues.
Furthermore, the system makes allowances for operational parameter change such as the blower speed automatic adjustment which is based on the data being monitored. This guarantees that the machines are functioning correctly in changing circumstances. Thirdly, the cloud-based architecture enables the distance monitoring of the data, thus helping the supervisors to know the working performance of the equipment and decide from any place. In general, the system increases the efficiency of the operations, safety, and dependability of tractor-mounted straw blowers, whilst minimizing downtime and maintenance costs by predictive analytics and intelligent control.

The ESP01 Wifi module provides wireless connection for control of the HMSCT and HMSCR Node, which upload operational data from one device down to hand-held devices that operates it in real time.
Operators are able to monitor and control the machines accurately through a 7 inches LCD Touch Screen which also enables the visualization of operational parameters for the machines from the HMSCR node allowing for effective adjustment of parameters which are usually affected by the dynamic behaviors of fields.
The straw blower's performance is controlled very precisely by two components: the actuator and the speed controller deployed in the HMSCT Node, allowing for optimal operation suited for the performance of how the straw blower is installed based on sensor readings and thus energy, consumption, efficiency additional.
